Excerpts from an AiG article on the Nazca Lines.
That said, I invite any and all to comment on these rather amusing statements.
EDITED TO ADD * Or is it the highest? Hmmmm.
"Its a bird! Its a monkey! Its a whale? Wait, no. Its all of the above! Its the Nazca Lines! The what? If youve heard of these geoglyphs, you know theyre quite the mystery to archaeologists and most other experts. Discovered by accident from an airplane in 1927, their purpose remains a conundrum. Plenty of fantastical and plain ideas abound from UFO landing zones to religious rituals. Who knows? Maybe it was some rebellious Nazca teens version of graffiti. One thing is sure. The complexity of these lines defies the evolutionary assumption of primitive ancestors."
_________________________________________________________________________________
Some have even ranked the lines in an order of complexity. The idea is that they started with straight lines, and then, as their knowledge of geometry grew, so did the complexity of the shapestrapezoids, zigzags, spirals, and then finally animal and plant shapes. But this idea is based on the assumption that the Nazcas had no prior knowledge of geometry and/or land surveying. However, this is an unfounded assumption based mostly on evolutionary presuppositions.
_________________________________________________________________________________
As new information arises, certain theories are disproven, and certain theories are given further credence. But most archaeologists, if not all, will admit that there is no way to know absolutely and exactly what the purposes of the Nazca Lines were since we dont have all the information. This honest and candid approach to archaeology is what science should be about. Unfortunately, this open-minded approach is rare in evolutionists when it comes to their dogmatic (religious) stance on the history of the earth.

Conclusion
When taking a closer look at the Nazca Lines and putting aside arrogant evolutionary bias, it becomes clear the Nazcas were not primitive at all but rather intelligent civil engineers.

Once again AiG is appealing to the lowest* common denominator in the creationist gene pool._________________________________________________________________________________
