I never believed this could be the case until I started reading your threads.
Who would have thought that someone could post this and actually expect it to be taken seriously?
The recent publication of a full-length Neandertal mitochondrial genome has been generating a lot of interest. The paper concluded that Neandertals are outside the range of modern human variation, and are therefore something different. This is a challenge to the standard creationist position that both Neandertals and modern humans are descended from the eight people who survived the Flood. Can we still include Neandertals in the human family tree? Are they descended from Noah? Does this single Neandertal sequence invalidate the Genesis accounts of Creation, the Flood, or the Tower of Babel?

About 50% of the country, and a far higher percentage of conservatives, take that very seriously.
