But the problems with this evolutionary theory are several: (1) The kind of development it describes has never been observed - in fact, there seems to be no upward development toward monotheism within any culture – actually the opposite seems to be the case. (2) The anthropological method's definition of "primitive" equates to technological development, yet this is hardly a satisfactory criterion as there are so many components to a given culture.
Pero los problemas con esta teoría evolutiva son muchos: (1) La clase de desarrollo que describe, nunca ha sido observada – de hecho, no parece haber un desarrollo significativo hacia el monoteísmo dentro de ninguna cultura – en realidad parece ser el caso opuesto.
