Introduction<\/h2>\n

The theory of Evolution envisions a physical and mental development of early man from primitive life forms. However, the documented facts tell a far different story. Man has been uniquely endowed by his Creator from his introduction on Day Six.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I.\u00a0 Superior Intellect from the Beginning<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the book, Panorama of Creation<\/em>, this author has listed fifty-six characteristics that Pre-Flood man, from Adam forward, possessed.[1]<\/a> As a society, only superior cultures have been documented as possessing all of these specific characteristics cumulatively. Among those fifty-six, ten are listed here:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Conceptual Analysis<\/span><\/em><\/strong>: \u201cAnd Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him\u201d (Genesis 2:20). The fact that specific names were given to all varieties of separate groups with emphasis on distinctions among them, requires the ability to conceptualize objectively. In order to determine that none of the individuals under consideration would be intimately compatible with the observer further enhances the evidence that the observer had mature self-awareness and mental acumen.<\/li>\n
  2. Comparative Distinctions<\/span><\/em><\/strong>: \u201c\u2026gave names to all cattle\u2026and to every beast of the field\u2026\u201d (Genesis 2:20). Distinction is made between groups; comparison and nomenclature are assigned accordingly.<\/li>\n
  3. Synergistic Language<\/span><\/em><\/strong>: \u201cAnd Adam said, this is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh\u2026\u201d (Genesis 2:23, 24). Languages that feature enlarged expression, enhanced from preceding statements, require complicated emotional and mental capabilities.<\/li>\n
  4. Poetic Declamation<\/span><\/em><\/strong>: \u201c\u2026bone of my bones\u2026flesh of my flesh\u2026called Woman (\u2018from man\u2019)\u2026taken out of man\u2026leave his father and mother\u2026cleave unto his wife\u2026they shall be one flesh\u2026\u201d (Genesis 2:23, 24). This is first a form of complicated poetic expression; but it is also a progressive statement encompassing origin, state, and destiny of the speaking person (Adam) and the recipient (Eve) to be heard and observed by future generations (leave Father and Mother). Any concept of \u201cevolving man\u201d is totally incapable of explaining this speech form.<\/li>\n
  5. Incident Reference<\/span><\/em><\/strong>: \u201c\u2026knew\u2026conceived\u2026have gotten a man\u2026\u201d (Genesis 4:1). A conscious reference is made to intimate physical relations, conception, and birth. Detailed sensitivities are honorably expressed with a deliberate emphasis on time and events.<\/li>\n
  6. Religious Preoccupation<\/span><\/em><\/strong>: \u201c\u2026brought an offering unto the Lord\u2026\u201d (Genesis 4:3,4). Religious exercise is ascribed to sophisticated man alone. Here we observe conscious religious activity with a specific offering to a specific God.<\/li>\n
  7. Moral Designation<\/span><\/em><\/strong>: \u201c\u2026whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold\u2026\u201d (Genesis 4:15). Moral responsibility and consequences in the event of failure are clearly defined. Protection and restriction relating to the guilty party are also enforced.<\/li>\n
  8. Offspring Endowment<\/span><\/em><\/strong>: \u201c\u2026and called the name of the city after the name of his son\u2026\u201d (Genesis 4:17). Filial endowments are recognized as being among the \u201cultimate resource and expression\u201d of advanced Homo sapiens sapiens<\/em><\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  9. Artistic Appreciation<\/span><\/em><\/strong>: \u201c\u2026all such as handle the harp and organ\u2026\u201d (Genesis 4:21). A \u201cguild association\u201d is implied within this statement. Such responsive appreciation in harmony with skillful dexterity would warrant applause from any historian looking back on this generation.<\/li>\n
  10. Purposeful Motivation<\/span><\/em><\/strong>: \u201cThus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he\u2026\u201d (Genesis 6:22). Emphasis is placed on the words \u201call,\u201d \u201ccommanded,\u201d and \u201cdid.\u201d Noah (and his family) had the physical, mental, and volitional capacity to follow purposeful instruction with conscious extended performance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    II.\u00a0 Abrupt Appearance of Intelligent Man<\/h2>\n

     <\/p>\n

    When history is properly interpreted, it has been demonstrated that Intelligent Man<\/em><\/strong> (comparable to Modern Man<\/em><\/strong>) appears fully functional<\/em><\/strong>, without intermediate fossils evolving from lower life forms: \u201cThere are no actual fossils directly antecedent to man.\u201d<\/strong> ( L.B. Halstead, Nature<\/em>, 20 Nov., 1980, p. 208). <\/strong>The major players in the \u201cApe to Man\u201d myth have been re-examined and interpreted more correctly:<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Homo erectus<\/span> and Homo sapiens\u2026 <\/span>\u201cH. erectus\u2026is insufficiently distinct from H. sapiens. All fossil remains of H. erectus and archaic H. sapiens (including Neanderthals) should be reclassified into a single species, H. sapiens, which is to be subdivided only into races.\u201d (New Scientist, \u201cOn the Origin of Races,\u201d January 16, 1993)<\/li>\n
    2. Neanderthal Comparison to Modern Humans\u2026 <\/span>\u201cDetailed comparisons of Neanderthal skeletal remains with those of modern humans have shown that there is nothing in Neanderthal anatomy that conclusively indicates locomotor, manipulative, intellectual or linguistic abilities inferior to those of modern humans.\u201d (Erik Trinkaus, Natural History 87, 1978: 10)<\/li>\n
    3. The Aurignacian People\u2026Contemporaries with Neanderthal <\/span>They lived in the Ach Valley of the Alb-Danube Region of Germany. A Star Chart of<\/span> Orion1<\/sup><\/span> was carved on a Mammoth tusk by these people who also lived as contemporaries with Job.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

      As Job\u2019s consultants knew about the Creator and his association with mankind, these contemporary people would have the same general knowledge of the Creator and his splendors in the heavens.<\/em>\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
