Was there really a stone age?

   Yes, but it is nothing like what the evolutionists present it to be!  The “Stone Age” was not a long period of human evolution at all, but rather a brief state in the establishment of new tribes and habitation sites.  This took place after the dispersion of people during the "Tower of Babel" account in the Bible (Genesis 11:1-9).  People began to spread over the face of the earth and because now they had differing languages, the varying clans did not cooperate with one another.  Therefore, people with a common language banded together and for survival purposes became self-sufficient.  These people left with the right knowledge, but many times settled in the wrong locations that couldn’t provide the materials to build the culture they were previously accustomed to.  Eventually, they would learn how to make and fashion stone tools and develop a simple “village economy”. 

   Soon man began to domesticate the animals and work metals and make pottery. Then he began to build cities and civilizations.  Some attained this more quickly because a more productive region was settled and those particular people were stronger and intelligent.  The same logic would hold true today if we took a modern day 20th century man and put him off in a remote area.  His development would start with hunting and gathering until he could develop a civilization.
