Homo sapien is a great walker but then Neanderthal probably was too.

Maybe God was a Neanderthal, afterall we were created in His image and early remains of the first humans look nothing like we do today.

"I think that we have underestimated what the Paleolithic people were capable of."

Does this apply to paleo-conservatives as well?

Also not the way the evolutionists tell it... But then, they can always twist things around to fit the circumstances.

An interesting question is why would humans choose to live in such a harsh enviroment?

Why would people live there today? Many reasons-could range from following game northward or perhaps fleeing from conflict and disputes amoungst other tribes.

As an aside, I was reading through some Choctaw legends last night, and came across an interesting reference to pale faced "giants" that the original Choctaw met upon first arriving in the South. In light of recent speculation on the very first, possibly Caucasian native Americans, very intriging. The Choctaw say that these people were well on their way to dying out-caused by disease-upon the Choctaw's arrival. Perhpas some sickness carried over by new immigrants?

We supposedly evolved from neanderthal who evolved from apes, right? And neanderthal vanished due to losing the survival of the fittest game, right? Then why are apes still alive and well today? Shouldn't they have vanished when neanderthal appeared?

Bible says that when humankind was forced to vacate the Garden, they went to less hospitable places and had to work for a living.

The intriguing question is why cold, dry Siberia was a more attractive place to live than East Africa which couldn't have been *that* overcrowded.

Scripture describes the human-making process as first getting a glob of mud and breathing life into it. Breath or wind (Gr. pneumos) is equated with spirit, so I figure the first human is the first hominid that had spirit breathed into him by the Elohim.

The Bible tells of mass migrations after the Dispersa. What gives you your incredulence? It seems to me this new discovery fits in with the Biblical idea of man spreading all over the earth.

Human kind in the Garden of Eden? There were two people in the Garden. Thats all. The Bible says these were the first humans so what explains fossils of Neanderthals pre Adam and Eve?

And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. Ge 11:7-9

Well lets see...through-out human history there have been many who truely believe in God yet suffered incredible oppression and cried out for their Lord God to deliver them from evil. Nothing happened, they died.

The Indians believed in a God to even though they didn't have access to the Bible til Columbus arrived here and God apparently let Columbus run roughshod over them in His name!.

So here we are today and we are praying for God to deliver us from this evil we face but yet the tide marches on. People think that by believing in God they will be delivered and again they will be wrong and any chance of us standing up together on our own two feet to fight this battle will be lost because half or less of us will be looking for a chariot to carry us away. Talk about living in LaLa Land!

I believe those of the Creationist persuasion contend that Neanderthal and Erectus are human variations. Howsomever, its possible that only homo sapien is true Adam and Eve human. In that case Neanderthal, Erectus and Homo Sapien were simply clay, i.e., risen apes, until spirit was breathed into a couple of homo sapiens and they became human.

Basically for the same reason why there's still an England.

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?Joh 11:25-26

This is the death every man should fear:

Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Re 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

Re 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Rev.20:6,20:14,21:8

I can not buy into that. Nobody can live that squeeky clean a life. I believe the Bible is a code of conduct and the threat of an all powerful being coming down to deliver retribution is the hammer if you don't conform to the code.

It is a code that if lived by would prevent man from performing the carnage on his fellow man that history clearly shows is his forte.

What you posted tells me that even if a person is born again and excepts Jesus Christ as his Savior it is already to late for them.

The tusk was carbon-dated at about 36,600 years old. Plant remains found among the artifacts were dated at 30,000 to 31,000 years.

WOW! A 5,600 year-old mammoth with tiny tusks! Either that or the putative neanderthals liked really stinky meat.
