The reason all vertebrates look almost identical as embryos…. because they ALL evolved from one species??? Poppycock! The mathematical likelihood of chickens, lizards, humans, monkeys, giraffes, etc etc ALL evolving from one species is as ASTRONOMICAL as a working computer materializing from throwing a bunch of electronics in a garbage dump and them mixing together.

Same as with a big bang… IF an explosion of life happened somewhere(Noone knows where), with or without slight gravity in space, there’s absolutely ZERO possibility that every galaxy formed with perfect alignments and revolutions. Perhaps ONE out of all the solar systems, but with a “big bang” and outward force most particles/matter would keep moving continuously, including planets.

Try throwing a basket of a kids plastic balls into your yard. See how many times they line up to form a circle, a word, or anything recognizable. Every single molecule, the googleplex of life on this earth, shows intelligent DESIGN, not random chance. In addition, our ability to see colors, taste, create music and poetry and all artforms, and LOVE. Many of these things don’t even correlate with “Survival of the fittest”.

I’m a scientist/entomologist/computer programmer, not a backwoods redneck(no offense to anyone here intended), and when you actually study these things there’s no other conclusion to be drawn. Too many things are perfect in this world we live in to believe in chance. On top of that I’ve done a bit of carbon dating(college mind you) and it is indeed very inaccurate. Everything from the soil to how deep something is found can drastically alter results in both dating tests. And as was mentioned you need to know living carbon quantity to begin to guess.

I’ve heard some say our technology and medical knowledge is proof of evolution. And yet we live the same 60, 70 years with maybe a bit better quality than in recent times. However in mankinds early history there are documented cases of people living several hundred years, the Egyptians having mummification, dentists, civilizations with plumbing and advance heating techniques. And the buildings and monuments…many still unequaled. From my personal experience too, people are getting dumber, not smarter. Becoming more uncivilized, lazy, worthless. If anything mankind is devolving…. Or you can do what I do and read the Bible. Completely accurate scientifically each and every time if you study in depth. Isaiah knew that the world was round, the Israelites knew to bury excrement, have quarantines for the sick, circumcision and washing and things not to eat for cleanliness… which the other nations did NOT have. Throughout the 20th century, many “scholars” tried to debunk the Bible because they said many of the kings/rulers never existed, were mere characters. Then time after time cuneiform tablets and cylinders, and other archeological finds would be found with these names.

Whether you believe in God or not, the Bible is rock solid. I went about trying to disprove it myself. The more I got into the Hebrew/Greek real word meanings, every “contradiction” I had or had been told about cleared itself up. I did find however, there are a heckuva lot of errors in the King James translation, on top of it being annoying to read middle English. All in all, I was extremely impressed and know for 100% fact that this earth and our species did not “crawl out of primordial soup” as they say…

Thank you

In theory the two groups could certainly reproduce, and perhaps more successfully than the outlandish but nonetheless plausible possibility of a human/chimp coupling. Undoubtedly there were mating events between the two groups but they would have mostly been incompatible. The odd successful birth may well have been infertile, or destroyed as an abomination. I don’t think its much of a stretch to imagine some serious taboos about each group getting busy with the other.

My pet theory is that there is a history of the neanderthal people kept alive in the folktales of Europe, only we know the neaderthals in these stories as trolls. For instance there are stories of trolls kidnapping human infants and leaving one of their own troll children in place of the infant. Also there are tales of the trolls basically raiding human settlements, almost always under cover of the night, in the depths of winter. I think the “dehumaninzing” depiction of the neaderthal as a monster enabled them to be dealt with as such, and destroyed with prejudice. Modern man cleansed the Earth of these people IMHO. It was not merely the changing climate, or low birth rates. We are a very violent, adaptive species, and we take what we want, killing anyone or anything that we like if we think it will help us survive.

I’d love to see a new movie depicting the relationship between the two groups, maybe even using an interbreed human-mule as the sterile narrator of his life’s story. It could be a stone aged epic. Most movies depicting this time, as few as they are, are mostly silly. The Quest for Fire is a rare exception.

Although I’d feel bad for the Neanderthal being the only one of his/her kind… they’d have to make at least 2 of them or it would be cruel…
