One of the many problems with creationism is the existance of Stone Ages and Bronze Ages.
Forget about scientific dating of remains. The mere fact that these societies existed is proof that creationism is false.
Genesis says that we had both Iron and Bronze within a few generations of Adam and Even. Genesis 4:22 reads "Zillah also had a son, Tubal-Cain, who forged all kinds of tools out of bronze and iron. Tubal-Cain's sister was Naamah. "
The descent of Tubal-Cain is as follows:
Cain
Enoch
Irad
Mahujael
Methushael
Lamech
Tubal-Cain
So by the time of Tubal-Cain the use of iron tools was fully developed. How then could there have been whole societies based only on stone tools? Or copper? Or bronze?
Any tiny groups that might have split off without the technology would have been wiped out by the flood. And afterwards, Genesis 11 says that all people lived in a unified society and culture. After Babel they were spread over the world when the languages were created.
So, in sum: Couldn't happen, Didn't happen.
