Transcript

When did civilization start? Well, according to evolutionary ideas, modern man evolved two hundred thousand years ago. Then they did, well, pretty much nothing! They supposedly lived the lifestyle of primitive hunter-gatherers for thousands and thousands of years. Then, about five thousand years ago, people suddenly started making large pyramids, ships, and ziggurats.

That story doesn’t make any sense! But the Bible’s history does!

God created two people just six thousand years ago. The most ancient civilizations, like Sumer and Egypt were founded by their descendants, around four thousand two hundred years ago, after the event at the Tower of Babel.
