Hmmm, and you know all this from looking at some bones... I wonder what some "scientist" would have said about the "elephant mans" bones...
Sorry - "Check DU" .... what's that mean?????
As Leonard Cohen once said, "everybody knows!"
Yes, and I'm a Christian who swims in those waters.
I do not like to talk about it much, because I know many Christians have a very literal set of beliefs, and I don't care to either dislodge them of those beliefs, or convince them mine are rational.
Yes, just as I can distinguish the green from red by just looking at some colors.

It would have probably been obvious it was a deformity. Plus that's only one skeleton. Homo Erectus is backed up by remains of hundreds of individuals.
The dust was created and man was "formed" from it.
I told my mom this and she said well there's either someone coming or going under your bed ....
Sorry, couldn't resist it .....
how you know, this isn't an extinct ape?
He probably would have said something like, "Why, this man has Proteus syndrome," if we're talking about a current scientist. Until 1996, he might have said, "Why this man has neurofibromatosis," but that turned out not to be the case. For many years, he probably would have said, "Why, this man has Elephant Man's Disease," but strange as it may seem, that turned out not to be the case either.
There's certainly no evidence for it... :^)
my point being, they have no idea anything about these creatures and everything they say is pure speculation from what they "think" they know. They have no idea for sure what it really is or how this creature acted etc.
Not married, I see.
And no evidence exists that we evolved from Apes either, at least the miracles of Jesus have been documented.
So you speculate that it MUST be a human? but you don't know for sure...

Quit blowing smoke. The experts who have looked at Kennewick Man know he was human. Are you just being a troll or what?
I do know for sure. It's definitely not an ape. If it had to be lumped into a group that we know of them it would be lumped with humans. But it is not a modern human.
your faith in man is strong my friend.
That statement is in accord with the position that NOTHING is more than 6000 years old.
You really think they have "no idea;" that everything published is "pure speculation"? I'm sure if it's that blatant, you'll have no problem demonstrating exactly what you mean ... concisely.
My point about the nature of the Elephant Man's disease was that any competent scientist observing the bones would realize at once that they were the product of disease and not evolution. It would also be perfectly obvious that the bones were those of someone who died so recently that his bones would show no evidence of fossilization -- they're still bones. (You do know the difference between a fossil and a bone).
Now, you may "have no idea ... about these creatures," and it may be that everything you "say is pure speculation," but that doesn't mean that no one else knows anything about them and is merely speculating.
As to how the creatures acted, my guess would be that it would have been distinctly pre-Stanislavsky, but more than that's about as far as I'd care to go.
