Hinduism and the nation of China, just to name a few.
@checkmate : And that, of course.
What predates the Book of Genesis?
Babylonian tablets in Cuneiform detailing the earlier Sumerian civilisation: thus the first history document of it's kind.
You know what that means, o YEC Cre(a)ti(o)nists/Bible literalists .
Singing :
"Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait...
The Earth began to cool,
The autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unraveling the mystery,
That all started with the big bang (bang)!"
That enough of an answer for ya?
"Steve McCroskey: Jacobs, I want to know absolutely everything that's happened up till now.
Jacobs: Well, let's see. First the earth cooled. And then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died and they turned into oil. And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes. And Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di's clothes. I couldn't believe it". - Airplane
A lot of stuff; The Earth, Gilgamesh , Those "Venus" statuettes made by prehistoric people, etc.
....and why am I answering an absurd excuse for a question?
From Randy Newman's Glory Train
Some fools in the desert
With nothing else to do
So scared of the dark
They didn't know if they were coming or going
So they invented me
And they invented you
And other fools will keep it all going
And growing
Plenty of life on Earth!
As for people: the Sumerians, Babylonians, Indians, Chinese and millennia of Aboriginal people, and their cave paintings...in addition to the European paintings.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
