“God gave human beings brains capable of moving humanity from cave-dwellers to spacefarers in only about 100,000”
Actually it is not until Christ that mankind advances - we were still cave dwelling at 0 AD.
Really? How is it, then, that the Egyptian, Sumerian and other Mesopotamian, Greek, Hebrew, Chinese, and early Roman civilizations began thousands of years BC, to say nothing of the European peoples who were farming, fishing, creating art, trading, making sophisticated tools, and building great works like Stonehenge, all of which occurred thousands of years BC.
Meanwhile, in the Americas the first evidence for the existence of agricultural practices in South America dates back to circa 6500 BC, when potatoes, chilies and beans began to be cultivated for food in the Amazon Basin. South American cultures began domesticating llamas and alpacas in the highlands of the Andes circa 3500 BC. The Clovis culture in what is now modern New Mexico flourished for some 2500 years, starting at about 3000 BC.
While I totally understand religious faith, I do not understand willful ignorance. Stick strictly to what you surely know as fact. You know ancient Egypt existed, if for no other reason than that it is discussed in the Bible. You know ancient Egypt existed long before Christ. You know ancient Egypt advanced human culture, religious thought (first monotheist religion), building, architecture, irrigation, embalming, and many other achievements. Yet you still claim that human beings did not advance until the Christian era. Willful ignorance. I have no time or patience for it.

You are still in a mental and spiritual "cave".
Are we to believe that the walls of Jerusalem were built around "caves" -- and that Solomon's temple was a "cave"?
Study and understand the Bible before you make such dumb--- statements!!!
Your ignorance besmirches your claim to belief. And it shames me to see you claim that you worship the same Creator and Savior that I do.
Self-imposed ignorance is not the equivalent of faith!
