We know what that is! It is a stone pipe!
Who made it? An American Indian! He lived in The Stone Age!
We see the hole in the top. That’s where tobacco was placed for smoking. We can figure out how that hole might have been made.
We see a mother opossum with tiny babies holding on to her. It was lovingly carved from a tiny piece of hard rock.

This is a picture of the stone pipe from the end. What do we see? A tiny hole! It seems perfectly round. It is about three inches long! It allows a smoker to inhale smoke from the larger hole that held the burning tobacco.
The question! Can anyone explain how Stone Age Indians drilled that tiny, straight, round hole through a piece of hard rock?
The more we think about it, the more we appreciate their intellectual abilities! Each of us has to ask: “Were Stone Age Indians smarter than me?

This question shows the difference between Catholics and Protestants. When Catholics came to the Americas, they respected the Indians. Catholics built hospitals, schools, and Churches. They helped Indians move into The Iron Age! They loved their neighbors. They kept Catholic soldiers from exterminating them. As a result, 90% of the peoples in America’s Catholic nations still have Indian DNA.
Not in Protestant America! Protestants loved land. They exterminated most of the Indians they conquered.
They disobeyed This Command of Jesus Christ: “Love God and love your neighbors as yourself.”
Protestants exterminated the descendants of Indians who were able to drill tiny holes like this in solid rock without modern tools.

Catholics see that tiny hole as a reminder of what many Protestants let themselves be led to do to their Stone Age neighbors. We ask them a simple question:
“I am not smart enough to figure this out. Are you?”
