Neanderthals and God

Neanderthals aren't humans. They're apes of course. It's humans over here, and apes over there, and thats it.

What's that you're saying about brain size, physiogomy, skeletal structure, and tool use? LA LA LA! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!

That sums up the young earther position.

Not always. One young earther once told me the Neanderthals were just people and the dating was off.
 
I've also had a young earther suggest that they were half-men, half-apes, early humans. And when the sons of God came and mated with them, they created the real humans....

Those that you talked to were obviously deluded and not REAL christians. REAL christians know they're apes.

Maybe all the creationists need to get together and get their stories straight.

According to the 2nd creation story - God made Adam before anything else. So that should shoot that scientific theory down.

Yes, I would say their dating was 'off'. They apparently dated apes.

What? close their eyes and tell themselves "I don't believe in reality, I don't believe in reality" over and over again?

Lets guess most of those are US christians? Looking at the numbers ther are around 2 bill christians and 900 mill chatholics. Everlution is part of cahtolic church teaching so I've probably only got to find maybe another 200mill christains who accept everlution. I think you find that most christians accept everlution. It's just that the ones who don't tend to be the noisyest (and live in the US).

There's a passage somewhere that after the 1st murder, the other brother (can't recall the name) went to the land of Nod and gave the creatures that lived there souls (mated) and thereby more humans were created.

what passage? and in context! and how would he give them souls?
 
How else would a human, one of God's children, give an ape a soul?

Sex, of course. The off-spring would be part of God and the human, and therefore deserving of souls.

Wouldn't it be funny if all humans decended since then were inelligible for heaven by virtue of their origin?

4:16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
4:17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

The Land of Nod, East of Eden, and The Mark of Cain
 
Only if God says it's ok.

And God says it's bad to have sex with things that aren't human. So either Cain met up with people that were humans already, or he was going against Gods will.
