The Evolution of Man Scientifically Disproved | Page 6

for father and mother similar in form, for example, are found in many languages in
all the five great groups, the Aryan, the Semitic, the Hamitic the Turanian and Chinese
groups, showing a common original language and proving the early existence of the
home and civilization. The similarity of these and many other words in all of the great
Aryan or Indo-European family of languages, spoken in all continents is common
knowledge. Lord Avebury names 85 Hamitic languages in Africa in which the names of
father and mother are similar; 29 non-Aryan languages in Asia and Europe, including
Turkish, Thibetan, and many of the Turanian and Chinese groups; 5 in New Zealand and
other Islands; 8 in Australia; and 20 spoken by American Indians. The French, Italian,
Spanish and Portuguese are daughters of the Latin; Latin is a daughter of the Aryan; and
the Aryan, together with the other sister languages is, no doubt, the daughter of the
original language spoken by Noah and his immediate descendants. There can not well be
more than 4 generations of languages, and the time since Noah is sufficient for the
development of the 1000 languages and dialects. The American Indians have developed
about 200 in 3,000 or 4,000 years. The life of a language roughly speaking, seems to
range from 1000 to 3,000 years. The time since Noah is sufficient for the development of
all the languages of the world. But if man has existed for 2,000,000 or 1,000,000 years,
with a brain capacity ranging from 96% to normal, there would have been multiplied
thousands of languages bearing little or no resemblance. There is not a trace of all these
languages. They were never spoken because no one lived to speak them.
Many linguists insist that the original language of mankind consisted of a few short
words, possibly not over 200, since many now use only about 300. The Hebrew has only
about 500 root words of 3 letters; the stagnant Chinese, 450; the Sanscrit, about the same.
All the Semitic languages have tri-literal roots. As the tendency of all languages is to
grow in the number and length of words, these consisting of a few small words must have
been close to the original mother tongue. No language could have come down from the
great antiquity required by evolution and have so few words. Johnson's Eng. Dictionary
had 58,000 words; modern Dictionaries over 300,000. The evidence points to the origin
and unity of languages in the days of Noah, and proves the great antiquity of man an
impossibility and his evolution a pitiful absurdity.

3. RELIGIONS
The unity of ancient religions proves the creation of man who received a divine

revelation. According to evolution, all religions were evolved or invented by humanoids.
In that case, we would expect them to be widely divergent; and we would be surprised, if
they agreed on great and important points, and especially on points which could not be
clearly arrived at by reason. For instance, what in reason teaches us that an animal
sacrifice is a proper way to worship God? How could unassisted reason ever arrive at the
conclusion that God is properly worshipped by sacrificing a sheep or an ox? If we grant
that one section of the anthropoid host might have stumbled on the idea, how can we
account for its prevalence or its universality? A very high authority says, "Sacrifices were
common to all nations of antiquity, and therefore, traced by some to a personal
revelation." By revelation, we learn that the animal sacrifice prefigured the Lamb slain on
Calvary. It was revealed. No race of monkey-men could ever have invented the idea.
The most ancient nations worshipped God by sacrifices. Homer's Iliad (1000 B. C.) and
other works of Grecian poets are full of it. All the classics, Greek and Latin, are crowded
with accounts of offerings. The earliest records of the Egyptians, Babylonians, Assyrians,
Hindus and Chinese speak of sacrifices long in vogue. This unity of religions on the point
of animal sacrifices bespeaks revelation and not evolution.
The division of time into weeks of 7 days, prevalent among the ancients, suggests an
ancient revelation in commemoration of creation as against evolution, which denies
creation. The following statements from Dr. J. R. Dummelow, an eminent commentator,
show that the Babylonians both divided time into weeks, and offered sacrifices, pointing
to the unity of religions. "The Babylonians observed the 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th of each
lunar month as days when men were subjected to certain restrictions; the king was not to
eat food prepared by fire, _nor offer sacrifice,_ nor consult an oracle, nor invoke curses
on his enemies." They also observed the 19th of each month. It was customary, therefore,
in the days of Abraham, for the Babylonians to
