where the Sea leveled out before the Flood. Ballard theorizes that the Black Sea used to be a

Question 17

How does the Theory of Evolution rob man of his dignity and what is the result?

Answer 17

The heavily atheistic ‘Theory of Evolution’ may rob mankind of its dignity by stripping it of the essence it was supported with when we were created by God.

If humans formed from/with animals, we are no better than them; with no more authority or purpose than them. With no essence, humans are existentially reduced to having no need for morals and we become savages as a result.

Question 29

What was the Neolithic Era for humans?

• Discovery of agriculture and animal tending and weaving skills
• Use of pottery and Diversification
• possible creation of stone henge

Question 30

What is Diversification?

Answer 30

people becoming
good at a particular trade or skill. For example, someone
in a village may be better at raising sheep than
raising crops. This person’s neighbor may be better at
raising crops, but bad at raising sheep. The two come
to an agreement then that they will trade sheep for
crops and vice-versa. That way each individual can focus
on what he does best.

river valleys

Question 39

what do rivers supply?

Answer 39

g water
for crops, fertile silt from periodic
flooding, and a means of
transportation for trade with nearby
settlements. Also safety from attacks

Question 40

What else was included as something important (next to the river factor)

Answer 40

the people. Areas on the
banks of the great rivers are not
always immediately accessible or
hospitable to humans. The men and
women of the earliest civilizations
needed to work together to drain swamps, clear vegetation, build canals, dikes and reservoirs and so
maintain a peaceful and successful society on the small scale

Question 41

What are the eight features of society to civilization

Answer 41

cities, organized, public works, Job Specialization, Social Class structure, Complex Religion, Art &Architecture, Writing

Question 42

cities

Answer 42

Cities represented the transition from a nomadic
lifestyle to a settled and sedentary one. This is an
important transition in human history. When
people settled into the fertile river valleys and
started farming, they started producing surplus
food. The extra food meant the population began
to increase and more and more people began
populating the settlements. They also began collecting
valuables, including metal tools and
weapons, which are hard to pack on a horse or carry by hand. So, it is only natural that people started to
build a place to put their “stuff” at the end of the Neolithic period.

Question 43

Organized

Answer 43

Cities represented the transition from a nomadic
lifestyle to a settled and sedentary one. This is an
important transition in human history. When
people settled into the fertile river valleys and
started farming, they started producing surplus
food. The extra food meant the population began
to increase and more and more people began
populating the settlements. They also began collecting
valuables, including metal tools and
weapons, which are hard to pack on a horse or carry by hand. So, it is only natural that people started to
build a place to put their “stuff” at the end of the Neolithic period.

Question 44

Public Works

Answer 44

As governments became more organized, they began
to take on the expensive tasks of building walls,
roads, bridges, maintaining food and water supplies,
and making sure cities were maintained. This kind
of massive undertaking were meant to benefit the
entire community, and were the responsibility of a
centralized government

Question 45

Job specialisation

Answer 45

As people began to farm and settle down it became apparent that different people would have to
take on different roles in society. In the Neolithic period,
everyone was responsible, to some degree, for their
own survival. With the creation of cities and governments
there was a necessity for different people to play
different roles. Some people could be artisans or craftsmen
to build homes, palaces, and temples as well as
furniture or other goods, whereas someone else could
be a farmer to provide food. A craftsman could then
trade a chair he built for a bushel of corn that his neigh

Question 46

social class structure

Answer 46

Because of the development of religion, government,
and job specialization, certain positions were valued
over others. Essentially this hierarchy (or class system)
started with the King at top, warriors and religious
leaders next, skilled workers, unskilled workers, and
followed by slaves, who were the primary labor force
in many of the earliest civilizations. The more education or skills someone had the higher in the
social system they would rank.

Question 47

Complex religion

Answer 47

Every known civilization has had some form of
organized religion. Oftentimes these religions
came about as a way to explain the crop failure or
success, seasons, floods, or other natural disasters.
The were polytheistic (a belief in multiple
gods) and were an integral part of everyday life
in every society. Elaborate ceremonies developed
and temples were constructed to appease the gods
and ensure their favor for good harvests or victory in war. The exception to this is Judaism, which is
a monotheistic religion that puts Yahweh in control of all the earth and its inhabitants.

Question 48

Art & Architecture

Answer 48

The most advanced societies displayed unique art and architecture.
Although not a part of every society to the same extent,
there were elements of different religious expressions
of art that set groups apart from each other. Art was a depiction
of values of the society or beliefs in religion or were a
display to others regarding the wealth and power of a ruler
or a city or empire.

Question 49

Writing

Answer 49

Writing would also become an important factor in civilizations. As
the society became more complex, it was important to keep records of
food storage and traded goods. It would have been too difficult to remember
all of the information that was required of these people. Religion
would also play a role in the necessity of written languages.
Scribes, or those who wrote down laws and religious texts, would be a
specialized job associated with development of writing. Early records
might have involved only pictures, but more complex ideas required
words and a simplified structure to convey information.
