Yesterday we learned that, in the evolutionary worldview, humans lived for tens of thousands of years without doing much at all. They couldn’t even figure out farming or building permanent settlements!

That makes no sense. But when we look at history through the lens of God’s Word, well, mankind was created intelligent, quickly learning farming, herding, and even metal working. But that world was destroyed by the global flood. Mankind started over again and, after the Tower of Babel, they scattered around the world. That’s why we see a sudden explosion of civilization all over the world at much the same time.
