In the early 400s A.D., Augustine of Hippo asked a scholar, Paulus Orosius, to summarize what historians of that day claimed, in order to argue against the pagans.
Orosius wrote: "Indeed, these historians with their very limited insight would have us believe that the origin of the world and the creation of man was without beginning... as if forsooth the human race had existed up to that time in the manner of beasts and then, as though shaken and aroused, it awoke for the first time to a wisdom previously unknown to it."
