The finding of Gobekli Tepe shows that man could create complicated structures much earlier in this world than previously thought. Elementary school children are taught that men were hunter-gatherers who wandered the continents and finally settled down when agriculture was invented. Then they had pastoral communities. However, the Bible states the shepherding and agriculture existed right after Eden.
Genesis 4:1 says "Now Abel was a keeper of the sheep but Cain was a tiller of the soil." These were the sons of Adam. This happened right after the Garden of Eden. Evolutionists think that man is getting smarter but the truth is Adam was a genius created by God so his children could do great things. Look what Cain did after he was cursed by God- Genesis 4:15 "Cain went out from the presence of the Lord and dwelt in the land of Nod east of Eden." So they knew where Eden was. It wasn't something that disappeared when Adam sinned There was a geographical region called "Nod." So Cain got a wife (his sister or niece or grand-niece) and built a city for his son Enoch (this is not the Enoch who was called up to heaven by God). It doesn't say a village of grass huts but a city.
Cain had one descendant named Jabal who was the father of those who lives in tents and have livestock. This seems to the opposite of the hunter-gather theory. Jabal had a brother Jubal. He was the father of those who play the harp and flute indicating that musical instruments existed at that time. The third brother was Tubal-Cain who heated metal and shaped it. These men were 6 generations out from Adam!
Below is a video showing how a model was made for Gobekli Tepe, and may help one imagine how these men from the Bible could be at such a location. There is a lot of commentary about how it is the birthplace of religion, when the plan of salvation was given in Eden, but try to look at this as being created by men who came from Cain, a man who left the presence of the Lord. The History Channel has a video for this and wonders why the inhabitants covered it in 20 feet of sand but that could have been done by the Flood. Gaines Johnson suggests that the Flood was a gentle enough to allow structures to continue standing afterwards.
