[history]
Rehovot, , May. 18 (UPI) -- An Israeli research team has discovered evidence that suggests some cave-dwellers were mining flint 300,000 years ago.
Flint blades from Tabun Cave, near present-day Haifa, in northern Israel, had an isotope called beryllium-10 in levels indicating they were made from mined flint. However, tools found in Qesem Cave, barely 60 miles to the south, bore the hallmarks of surface rock, indicating these individuals were still using whatever stones were lying around.

Digging is a natural thing for many animals. Animals or humans could dig for water and expose flint rock that cave-dwellers might then use for hand axes.

I highly doubt that was his first rant. Just a "new" identity.

Does God live on Earth?
How do you know how long God's days are? His seven days could be much longer than your seven days and Genises and geology could both be correct but just using different units of measurement for a thing we call days.
IMHO, the human mind is God's most amazing creation. It's a damn sin when people turn their's off and shut them away. They were meant to be used.

Why create all this complexity when the answer could be in the form of a simple parableIt's called scientific inquiry, Quasar - most people consider it ciritcal to our current society. If we relied on the bible for all of our answers, then we would still be riding camels, plagued by disease, and running for cover at every solar eclipse.

"Crap, who was he? He got nuked before I got home from work." Don't know. He was gone when I logged back on around 4:30pm. (Maybe f.christian?)

I found it ironic that he would take a name like that, considering that quasars are considered to be slightly older than a few thousand years.

"I found it ironic that he would take a name like that, considering that quasars are considered to be slightly older than a few thousand years." I 'caught' that too.
