Records say civilization was man's original state (Talk.Origins)

Claim CH134:


 * Records say civilization was man's original condition. Written records converge on an origin about 3000 BC. Other dating methods are uncertain.

 * Titcomb, J. H., 1871. On the antiquity of civilization. Journal of the Transactions of The Victoria Institute, Journal of 1870-71, pp. 3-25.

CreationWiki response:

Actually there is one; the Bible; but it would be circular reasoning to use it as evidence in support of the Bible. Because this claim relies on a lack of extra Biblical writings to the contrary, it is a weak argument. The best that can be said is that there is no evidence for the development of civilization.

This assumes that a absence of evidence is evidence of absence, that not necessarily that case, and it is a weak argument, for the same reason that the original claim is weak.

Actually these methods particularly C-14 are calibrated in part by written history. It also assumes that the chronology being used is accurate. Finally projecting them back to beyond written history, assumes a degree uniformity that if Noah's Flood actually occurred would not exist.
