Maybe bad data!
Your taking we were cave men for a long time as fact. The Bible lists skilled craftsman came very early. That we were first farmers and later included meat. The written word also did not take long to use.

He was lactose intolerant?

in a mere blink of an eye by comparison we have this insane tech world, cars, planes, computers, AC, phones, medicine. What changed?

Could it be ancient aliens, as some ancient alien theorists theorize?

Writing was certainly a major step forward. Technology is another.

More likely he was attacked by some thug, or some prehistoric community organizers, so he fought back, then ran for his life, wounded, unrobbed, and either hid there or missed his footing in the dark, and there he died.

One thing about articles like this is that we keep hearing how the glaciers are melting, the glaciers are melting, due to global warming, global cooling, climate change, take your pick.

But obviously when Ötzi was killed 5000 years ago or so, there was no glaciers/ice there. That all came later, covering him up and preserving him, and now has melted away. Again.

there are two big problems in the fossil record 1.) the cambrian explosion 2.how life came from non life.

a third problem is the math. scientists can tell how long it takes for each random mutation to happen that creates speciation and calculate backwards how long it would take to make living things.

The length of time it would take is far longer than the age of the earth or the age of the universe.

So some other process is also going on.

But we human civilization are in the middle of one of these vast something else going on periods like the cambrian explosion.

How can we know this. We know this because 500 million years from now geologists digging in the dirt will see evidence of civlization but it will come from nothing. There won’t be a layer below with an intermediary primitive something. Rather It will look exactly like an alien civilzation had plunked down on earth and set up shop.

However, if the bible is still around it will record that God, himself, came to earth and dwelt among us for a time and then went back to heaven...and that he promised to return.

Did he return?

But the civilization on earth went out to the stars instead to look for Him
