AndrewC said that the presence of tools by the Neanderthal grave site suggests that they believed in the afterlife. Tpaine seems to want to interpret the evidence differently. Can AndrewC not claim a certain knowledge since Tpaine subjectively interprets the evidence differently?

Neither tpaine nor AndrewC may claim knowledge, as the object of their assertions (the expressions of the beliefs of minds long dead, who left us no specifically interpretable record as to their beliefs) is untestable, and therefore unknowable.

They may theorize, but they may not know.

And, evolutionists may theorize but they do not know. It is subjectivity, based upon human opinion and/or preference. I add the preference here because you seem to prefer the non-existence of God over the existence of God. That preference colors your view of the evidence just as my belief that God exists colors my view of the evidence.
