Of course he is, BECAUSE every time he posts his ludicrous nonsense he is corrected and instructed in the truth of the matter.


I don,t know enough about this dna stuff to even discuss it but the way varmintman talks the Neanderthals would have to have been here between six and seven thousand years ago.

Or else the ones they call the Neanderthals were actually human and nothing else.

I do not trust environmentalists and i do not trust the evolution scientist who are trying to prove there is no God, if they don,t have one that is fine.

We don't know when the last Neanderthals died, but the most recent possible bones are dated around 24,000 years old.
This was after some 20,000 years of human-Neanderthal coexistence in Europe.

No one knows exactly what killed the Neanderthals, and many ideas have been proposed, but there is no physical evidence on Neanderthals more recent than 24,000 years ago.

ravenwolf: "Or else the ones they call the Neanderthals were actually human and nothing else."

Please remember that scientific words like "species" "sub-species" "genus", etc., are all matters of definition, and that there is really no hard and fast line separating them.
By scientific definition we say that two "sub-species" have become separate "species" when they no longer successfully interbreed in the wild, but even such a simple definition has exceptions.
For example, by any reasonable classification, polar bears and brown bears are clearly separate species, and yet they do occasionally interbreed in the wild.

And that may even serve as a model to explain human & Neanderthal interactions.

ravenwolf: "I do not trust environmentalists and i do not trust the evolution scientist who are trying to prove there is no God, if they don,t have one that is fine."

No real scientist ever attempts to "prove" there is no God, because by definition it cannot be done scientifically.
So whoever says such things is not speaking scientifically, but rather philosophically, or religiously.

Yes, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and everyone has one, but opinions about God are not scientific and anyone who claims they are is not speaking truthfully.
So you can ignore them, FRiend.
