I notice on that page an article on Neanderthals which tends to buttress the Multi-Regional theory, currently out of favor against a growing tide of evidence that the competing Out-of-Africa theory describes at least the main outline of events better. What's funny is that I'm in sympathy with the viewpoint that Neanderthals may have hybridized with later arrivals in their regions and thus may have contributed to our ancestry. The possibility cannot be excluded unless and until nuclear DNA studies are done and shoot it down once and for all. The mtDNA studies trumpeted as achieving this are inconclusive because mtDNA is almost purely matrilineal.

So, have I gone creationist? Not exactly. The heckling bozo who compiles that page picked that find because it contradicts a current trend. People like Ahban who argue with me about the skull series below defend to the death the statement that Neanderthals are not the ancestors of humans.

Why? Because then they can say, "That table is FRAUD! It has NEANDERTHALS in it and NEANDERTHALS ARE NOT HUMAN ANCESTORS!!!"

So, your C-E/H site compiler has come down on the side of someone whose study helps me; he is heckling mainstream opinion that helps Ahban in his fervent desire to wish away hard evidence. It doesn't matter. The guy's got a monthly edition to get out and he needs material. The people he's going to reach aren't doing a lot of critical thinking anyway.

Your name taken in vain in a discussion of previous questions. Meant to ping you.

Neanderthals may be a crossbreed between Unholy Angels and man.

Gen 6:4
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God (Angels) came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. (emphasis added)

Duet 1:28
28 Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.

Duet 2:10-11
10 The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; 11 Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims.

1 Sam 17:4
4 And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. (11' 9" Tall)(emphasis added)

1 Sam 17:26
26 And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?

You have got to like David. Statements like that last one dubbed him "a man after God's own heart". And you think creationists are fighters for God.
