These discoveries are interesting, but I have a problem with ‘more than a 11 million years old’. I do not believe our dating methods are that good.
I believe this creation to be about 6,000 years old. I also believe there was an earlier creation. I make no presumptions about when that creation began, or when it ended. As I said above, I do not have a problem with ‘11 million years’, only with ‘dating’. I also do not believe this to be an early human ancestor.
One version of “old Earth” creationism is that humans were created last, even fairly recently, such as 6000 years ago, Garden of Eden, as in Genesis, but that there were earlier creations still walking around. Support for that has been found in the OT itself, things like the reference to Cain finding a wife from the land of Nod. There are also those who accept the Edenic origin as referring to the actual ancestry of the Hebrews, one line of Abraham’s ancestors, and later the begats, which appears in Matthew, and ends with, “Thus there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to Christ.” Thus, humans were created all over, basically simultaneously, with the Adam and Eve experiment being one of a kind that didn’t work out as hoped.
