If we examine actual human history and artifacts, evolution is absent. There is no proof that humans have, for example, gained intelligence. If anything, we seem to have devolved and are less capable than our ancestors.
 
That is what we would expect given the immutable laws of nature. Complex functional things, like us and our genetics, do not improve over time, they degrade.
 
Our modern technological advancements show the effect of accumulated knowledge (or input from some extraneous source?), not an intrinsic improvement in humans.
 
Megaliths
 
Consider the accomplishments of our ancestors. The hanging gardens of Babylon, the Rhodes Colossus, the statue of Zeus, the Artemus temple at Ephesus, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, Rome and its infrastructure and Coliseum, the Alexandria lighthouse, Jewish Temples, the Parthenon, and the gigantic and ornate cathedrals and castles spread throughout Europe. These speak to high intelligence and skills. Such is surpassed only by the following which predated them by thousands of years.
 
Megaliths are large artificial stone structures. Examples include the huge mound structures in the Ohio valley, the complex of Baalbek in Lebanon, Gobekli Tepe in Turkey dated 10,000 years BC, Malta's megaliths, Tiahuanaco and Puma Puku in Bolivia, Machu Picchu and Sacsayhuaman in Peru, Angkor Wat in Cambodia, the huge temples in Mexico and Central America, a structure underwater off the coast of the island of Yonaguni in Japan which is part of a complex stretching for hundreds of miles (also dating possibly to 10,000 BC) . . . to only begin a list.

The Great Pyramid of Egypt is forty stories high and was built with 2.3 million stones, each weighing three to four tons. Some were moved from 500 miles away. The pyramid stones could make a wall ten feet high by five feet wide stretching from Los Angeles to New York. The precision of the Great Pyramid is such that a fraction of an inch error in the base would end up as a twenty-foot or more deviation at the top. If that had occurred, all the work would have been for naught since such a tilt would result in the structure eventually collapsing on itself.
 
Conventional archeological (and evolutionary) thought is that it was built using crude copper tools in 20 years. This would require each of the 2.3 million, 3-4 ton stones being cut precisely, transported, elevated, and placed every two and a half minutes—assuming there were no errors.
 
The Sphinx in Giza is almost the length of a football field and six stories tall. It was carved out of a single stone thousands of years before the Egyptians discovered it in about 6000 B.C.

Nan Madol, the Venice of the Pacific, is an 80-acre island in Pohnpei, Micronesia. It consists of 900 artificial islands. There are 750,000 metric tons of stones used in the 800-year-old structures. Some are more than 20 feet in length and weigh 50 tons. They are believed to have been transported from a volcanic site 20 miles away. Some of the walls are 30 feet high and 10 feet thick. They rest upon a foundation of similar huge stones either built underwater or when the ocean was much lower.

Equally astounding is the fact that many megaliths were oriented precisely for astronomical observations and predictions.
 
Although dating thousands of years BC, the billions of tons of worked megalithic stones found worldwide contain evidence of machining and technology we not only don't possess but can't imagine.
 
An extremely hard rock weighing hundreds of tons is polished to a mirror finish. Interior angles are made which are only possible today with laser machines the size of large rooms. Precise vertical notches and cuts course several meters perfectly straight and some curve perfectly. Some cuts are thinner than even modern jewelers can create. Other cuts show imprints of circular saw blades three-sixteenths of an inch thick and eighteen feet in diameter. No such saws exist today. Perfect holes have been bored at a rate 500 times faster than possible with modern boring equipment. There are furrows in stones akin to pulling a finger or tool through soft clay suggesting that hard stones could be worked while transformed into some kind of plastic malleable state.

I've done some masonry and split and laid stones and blocks. Attempting to place a stone that weighs just 100 pounds, even when I get to fudge with mortar all around the joints, is a gigantic feat. I can't imagine how an army of even thousands of workers could quarry a thousand ton stone out of solid red granite and shape it into a perfect cube that would fit perfectly with other such stones. Nor have any of my supposedly highly evolved human contemporaries figured it out.

It is embarrassing that with all of our tools, engineering, machines, "advanced" brains, and accumulated history and technology, such feats lie outside all modern capabilities. We can neither figure these things out nor accomplish them, but supposedly our less-evolved ancestors could.
 
History should be rewritten. But conventional science and archeology ignore the evidence because it contradicts the prevailing evolutionary bias. Those who attempt an explanation argue that tens of thousands of ancients with nothing better to do chipped away day and night with crude tools to create the megaliths. They then supposedly slid stones weighing millions of pounds across miles and up hills with twine made of twisted plants.
 
Modern-day Peruvians, Egyptians, and other civilizations around the world where megaliths are found are totally incapable of the ancient megalithic architecture and machining. For example, here you can see characteristic historical and modern Peruvian and Inca stonework (which looks similar to mine) placed on top of the advanced technology that preceded them.

The geoglyphs in Peru, also known as the Nazca lines, range in size up to 1000 feet and include a variety of geometrical and animal figures. They were sculpted 2000 years ago and are only recognized for what they represent when viewed from an airplane.

Hundreds of Costa Rican stone spheres estimated to be up to 4000 years old, range in size from a few inches to over eight feet in diameter. Many were hewn out of solid granite (although there is no immediate local source of granite) and weigh as much as sixteen tons. They are nearly perfectly spherical. One sphere with a diameter of over six feet varies only by 0.5 inches at any point in its circumference. And this imperfection is likely due to weathering over the 4000 years.

​Anomalous Archeology
 
Considering that our modern technologies developed primarily in just the last few hundred years, the possibilities for what humans (or others?) may have done in the past over thousands or millions of years is unimaginable.
 
Consider the amazing Antikythera mechanism found on a sunken ship near Greece. Embedded in encrusted rock, this small device contains an estimated seventy gears. It's displayed in the Bronze Collection of the National Archeological Museum of Athens. Although dating to about 150 B.C., the mechanism works like a computer to precisely calculate astronomical positions from dates entered.

Devolution
 
At the age of 6, we have five times more neural connections in our brains than when we're adults. The number of connections is directly related to intellectual capacity. Some 80% of the neural mass in the neocortex (smart part of the brain with all those fancy folds) is dissolved by age 14. So as an adult, we have only 20% of the brain potential we had at 6. We use only about 5% of what's left.
 
Not only does the brain seem to physiologically and anatomically devolve, but so too does human capability. Take a modern-day course in philosophy and you'll be studying the thinking of Greeks who lived over 2,000 years ago. Language was invented long before that. The astronomical knowledge of ancient sages and mariners has only been slightly tweaked since their time. The skill at prose, poetry, music, architecture, and art by those in the distant past working under candlelight is enviable. The letters of Civil War teenagers possess an eloquence that would be hard to find in today's college graduates.

The vocabulary of today's high school student is less than half what it was in 1950. Fifteen years ago people could distinguish 300,000 sounds. Today the average is 180,000, and many children can't exceed 100,000. Twenty years ago the average person could distinguish 350 shades of a particular color. Today they struggle to differentiate 130.
 
Other than being the beneficiaries of accumulated knowledge and technology, humans are slipping, not evolving to a higher state. That's exactly what the degrading effects of natural laws would predict and is consistent with an original pristine creation at the mercy of those laws.
