"It has not been "proven." It has been hypothesized and for the most part the hypothesis has a goodly chunk of evidence to support it.'

There you go again, with your phony semantic arguments. Look up the word proof in the dictionary, it applies to a lot more than mathematical proofs. People are everyday proven guilty in courts of law without any mathematical proofs at all.

However, I am glad that you at least admit the statement that homo sapiens has no ancestors and hence did not descend from monkeys, Neanderthals, or any other species is correct.

We are not talking about the dictionary definition of "proof" -- we are talking about the scientific definition, which is something else entirely. In science, "proof" is a mathematical construct and has very little relationship to observation. What must God think of you that you are reduced to bantering semantics, twisting words, willful ignorance, and outright lies to support Biblical creation?

I never said that, you liar and twister of words. The serpent in the Garden of Eden could take tips from you. I said the hypothesis that Homo Sapiens and Homo Neanderthalensis could not interbreed has a lot of evidence in support of it. However, I never said that there were no human ancestors. As a matter of fact, it's pretty much been established (not proved, but the preponderance of evidence points to it) that Homo Erectus was the forerunner of both Homo Sapiens and Homo Neanderthalensis.

Remember, God said, "Thou shall not bear false witness" (which means lying). Of course, you probably think lying for God makes you a saint, don't you?
