Creation Moments

Jonathan Cotton: Ancient observatories refute the evolutionary view. Find out about it next on today's Creation Moment. And now, here's our Creation Moment host, Ian Taylor.

Ian T. Taylor: The Bible pictures mankind as intelligent, able to learn about the creation and teach others from the very first day of its existence. According to Genesis, the first men were even building cities, inventing musical instruments, crafting in bronze and iron, and keeping calendars. The Bible's picture of advanced, intelligent, and ever curious man is further supported by the discovery all over the world of ancient observatories. Some of these observatories, such as Stonehenge, are so ancient that little is known about the builders. In fact, when many of the structures which are now known to be observatories were first discovered, no one could figure out the purpose of these structures.

Recently, 60 additional observatories were positively identified in the American Southwest. The first and most famous is the so-called Sun Dagger of New Mexico. Two spiral designs had been cut into the rock so that a shaft of light passing through nearby rocks would illuminate the key portions of the carvings only on solstices and equinoxes. The creation itself declares the glory of the Creator, but man's own activities provide a strong witness to the fact that the Bible's story of the special creation of intelligent, inquisitive man is completely reliable.
