Maybe primitive men were not so primitive.. i.e. dumb..

[davidosborne]

That would assume that earth was created by God 40,000 years ago.. to which I say NOT -— the earth is only about 6,000 years old folks....

We can't post from IOL, so, I'll link this aricle here:

Little Arrow That Rewrites History Books

"Two researchers from Wits University believe that what they have discovered is a 60 000-year-old arrow that was fired from the earliest known bow. Their discovery has pushed back the origins of bow-and-arrow technology by 20 000 years."

I am so proud of my 11 year old when we go to history museums and he tells my 7 year old all the “wrong” evolution things posted.

“First Shoes Worn 40,000 Years Ago”

They were actually found in my wife’s closet. :^)

What culture are they speaking of from 40,000 years ago?

Are you attempting to incite debate or are you being sarcastic because the 6000yr theory is not funny and discredits many good Christians by making them look moronic.

[Revolting cat!]

6,000? Dude, I heard it’s more like 6,500+ ! Getcha data strait, George!

[LoneRangerMassachusetts]

Wouldn't it be a simple matter to go to South America, Africa, Australia, and Asia to look at the feet of primitive and backward cultures that don't wear shoes and measure their toes? Instead we pay big bucks to university professors to speculate and argue about the idea. I thought lawyers were bad I thought politicians were bad. Then I thought psycholgists were bad. Now com the anthropologists. They are really bad.

I didn’t know there was a “debate”....... however, stating “40,000” as fact is offensive to ME.... just as much as saying “6,000 THEORY” -— I believe that the earth IS roughly 6,000 years old.... you calling my FACTS a theory is offensive to me... having said that.. no need to debate my FRiend..

[davidosborne]

I take no issue with 6,500 my FRiend :)

Having decent footwear would probably decrease morbidity and mortality, IMHO, especially when hygiene was minimal.

[martin_fierro]

Hosiery followed soon after.

Then I thought psycholgists were bad. Now com the anthropologists. They are really bad.

Fuzzy "sciences".

[RockyMtnMan]

There is no chance I would argue with you because insanity knows no limits and I’d make more progress arguing with a stone. There are many facts (see hard science) in place to suggest the earth is far older than 6000 yrs but I know from experience you’ll just ignore them because they do not fit your world view.
