    Another hole for the creationist debate.

    Enough with business and all the troubles we face. Let's talk about something else.

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/20...cave-paintings

    Several times in the past 10 years scientists have had to rewrite the textbooks on Neanderthals, the latest species of human to go extinct. Once the archetype for primitive, uncivilised behaviour, the species, illuminated through fossil excavations and lately analysis of their genome, has emerged as being not too dissimilar from our own.
    I get to watch a lot of TV now and learning a lot about how the Earth, creatures on it and man evolved. It all flies in the face of religions myth.

    Now we see that the Neanderthals weren't the dumb creatures we thought, they had art, tools, jewelery, etc.

    and in the ascent of man we are filling in the gaps all the time. Lucy was thought to be one of the first humanoids. Now that has been changed and they found Ardi who predates Lucy.

    Dinosaurs walked the Earth from 150 million years ago to 75 million years. Home Sapiens, that's you and me, 200,000 years ago.

    In fact the cave man, hunter gatherer model lasted longer than what civilised man has. The first farmers were 10,000 years ago.

    Fascinating subject and puts so much into perspective. We are here for a micro second in the time scale of the world, of life on earth, even of man on the Earth.

    Just thought I would share this with you.

    Flame away.

    So if God created the world and all living things on it. He really wasn't that good. He got more wrong than right.

      Technically, it's not terribly strong evidence that neandertals practiced a lot of art. Altho we have other evidence, of better quality, of neandertal art mobile' and burial customs and the like, from sites like Shanidar.

      There is nothing in this new and recently described discovery that has any real bearing on the creationism debate.

      Of course you would have to be an idiot to put any serious credence to creationism.

        Agreed. Recent discoveries about Neanderthals is casting a much better light on them. Yet making their disappearance more strange. There is some evidence that Homo Sapiens mixed and had sex. This is coming out with DNA.

        Of course you would have to be an idiot to put any serious credence to religion. Small change.

          I think about that stuff sometimes. It is humbling. Anything and everything any of us will ever say or do is totally irrelevant in the grand scheme of the universe, which is so vast it does not even notice our existence.

          At best, we'll kill humanity off or destroy another planet or two somewhere down the road, but I'll be surprised if we last that long.

            History is quickly sliding into series featuring Bozo', idiots, half rate comedians and little history.

            WTF is Historical about guys driving trucks, stuffing dead animals, killing alligators in a swamp or some loony stretching facts out of shape to fit some myth about Aliens? A recent program was so stupid it made most of the theories look sane. The guy was putting forward that the Aliens, who were capable of flying across the Universe, needed a line of stones to guide them once they got to the Earth.

            I kid you not.

            Then we get the personality led programs. Pawn Stars, Storage wars, American Pickers, Mud Men, 80% dribble and 20% history and sometimes some clowning about.

            As for the series "Only in America" Yes this is spot on. Only in America would a company produce such dribble and find an audience.

            Thankfully for the other History channel and Nat Geo.

                      Uhg, I always despise this debate.

                      Evolution, and all the facts of organisms on the planet millions of years ago does not put a hole in the creationist debate.

                      Evolution does not prove or disprove that there is/was a "god".

                      And before anyone gets their panties in a bunch. I fully believe that there is no god, and do not believe in creationism. I simply believe in people getting their facts straight when arguing something.

                        When you think about how long we've been on Earth, how long we've been "civilised" and how much of a fuck up we've made of it. It makes me very sad.

                        Crocodiles have existed and flourished 200 million years. Now thanks to man, they face extinction.

                          I thought about this a lot too. Maybe there have been other civilizations before ours, and every time they ended up destroying themselves by a global nuke war, and maybe that's why the planet is still boiling inside. After each destroy a few insects or small fish or mammals survive and revolution starts all over again till the next full destruction and this process continues to repeat itself over and over again. A nightmare!

                              Yeah that's confusing the HOW with the WHO. Science tells us how things work, like what the laws of physics are. It doesn't touch on WHY they work that way, or who wrote the laws of physics.

                              If anything, learning that neanderthals were more human like lends SUPPORT to a very literal, naive reading of "God created man" rather than "man was evolved from algae" - man was already man in neanderthal times.

                              It doesn't matter, though. There's nothing at all inconsistent about believing "God created man through evolution" and that's exactly what many paleo-archeologists believe, that evolution is a mechanism used by a universal force of some kind, just as the iphone 4 "evolved" from earlier phones, but not by itself, not without intelligent beings guiding driving the evolution of the technology.

                              In other words, the fact that technology evolves doesn't prove that engineers don't exist, or that engineers don't create technology and likewise the fact that animals evolve doesn't mean that they weren't created.

                                This is a little off the subject, but you should read a book called Ember from the Sun by Mark Cantor. It is fiction, but interesting. The idea behind it is that scientists find DNA of a Neanderthal body and they use it to create a half human half neanderthal baby.

                                It is a pretty cool story.

                                        Evolution, and all the facts of organisms on the planet millions of years ago does not put a hole in the creationist debate.

                                        Evolution does not prove or disprove that there is/was a "god".

                                        And before anyone gets their panties in a bunch. I fully believe that there is no god, and do not believe in creationism. I simply believe in people getting their facts straight when arguing something.
                                        God didn't create man.

                                        Man created God.

                                        The scientist have it all pretty well explained back to what caused the big bang. Yes they make mistakes like they did with Neanderthals and other species. As science finds more answers, the gaps are filled and the unexplained becomes clear.

                                        The "God" figure maybe caused the big bang. The Bible story which is creation, was totally blown out of the water a long time ago. Yet people still will find this myth a wonderful excuse to make money, keep the ignorant ever ignorant and kill people.

                                          The book of Genesis, committed to paper 3,500 years ago, says "the stars were made first, then the earth, which was covered with water, then land, then the plants, next animals, and humans last". A modern science book says "the stars were made first, then the earth, which was covered with water, then land, then the plants, next animals, and humans last." Science, at the time of Genesis, had the earth first and stars last, but Genesis said no, the stars came first. Modern science has proven that Genesis was right all along.

                                          Similarly for more modern history. Scientists discovered recently discovered ancient egyptian records off the egyptian army chasing the jews after plagues hit egypt - just as described in Exodus. From what I see, more and more scientific discoveries are confirming the ancient legends. They are, of course, ancient legends and just as the modern commercialized St. Nick doesn't quite match with our understanding of the historical Saint Nick, some misinterpretation over the millenia is to be expected.

                                              A FIRE-MIST and a planet,
                                              A crystal and a cell,
                                              A jelly-fish and a saurian,
                                              And caves where the cave-men dwell;
                                              Then a sense of law and beauty
                                              And a face turned from the clod --
                                              Some call it Evolution,
                                              And others call it God.

                                              A haze on the far horizon,
                                              The infinite, tender sky,
                                              The ripe rich tint of the cornfileds,
                                              And the wild geese sailing high --
                                              And all over upland and lowland
                                              The charm of the golden-rod --
                                              Some of us call it Autumn
                                              And others call it God.

                                              Like tides on a crescent sea-beach,
                                              When the moon is new and thin,
                                              Into our hearts high yearnings
                                              Come welling and surging in --
                                              Come from the mystic ocean,
                                              Whose rim no foot has trod, --
                                              Some of us call it Longing,
                                              And others call it God.

                                              A picket frozen on duty,
                                              A mother starved for her brood,
                                              Socrates drinking the hemlock,
                                              And Jesus on the rood;
                                              And millions who, humble and nameless,
                                              The straight, hard pathway plod, --
                                              Some call it Consecration,

The idea behind it is that scientists find DNA of a Neanderthal body and they use it to create a half human half neanderthal baby.

                                                      It is a pretty cool story.
                                                      You know what would be a cool story? If they did that only with collected DNA off of the Shroud of Turin, or say some archaeologists found the crown of thorns or something. And they unwittingly bring about the second coming of Christ and last judgement.

                                                      Scientists are starting to reject the big bang theory. now they think that our universe exists inside a black hole:

                                                      (ISM) -- Our universe may exist inside a black hole. This may sound strange, but it could actually be the best explanation of how the universe began, and what we observe today. It's a theory that has been explored over the past few decades by a small group of physicists including myself.

                                                      Successful as it is, there are notable unsolved questions with the standard big bang theory, which suggests that the universe began as a seemingly impossible "singularity," an infinitely small point containing an infinitely high concentration of matter, expanding in size to what we observe today. The theory of inflation, a super-fast expansion of space proposed in recent decades, fills in many important details, such as why slight lumps in the concentration of matter in the early universe coalesced into large celestial bodies such as galaxies and clusters of galaxies.

                                                      http://www.insidescience.org/?q=cont...w-universe/566

                                                      Whatever. We will be extinct long before scientists come even remotely close to unravelling even the most obvious mysteries of the universe.

A modern science book says "the stars were made first, then the earth, which was covered with water, then land, then the plants, next animals, and humans last." Science, at the time of Genesis, had the earth first and stars last, but Genesis said no, the stars came first. Modern science has proven that Genesis was right all along.
                                                          The chronological account in Genesis states that the Earth was created before the Sun and the stars.

Make a schizofrenic look at the sun and he'll say he's looking at god's face. Paranoid schizofrenics all love the bible because they understand every word and it gives them something to hold on to. That's why many of them don't cure - there is no cure in the bible because it's one big fairy tale.

Maybe there have been other civilizations before ours, and every time they ended up destroying themselves by a global nuke war, and maybe that's why the planet is still boiling inside. After each destroy a few insects or small fish or mammals survive and revolution starts all over again till the next full destruction and this process continues to repeat itself over and over again. A nightmare!

A modern science book says "the stars were made first, then the earth, which was covered with water, then land, then the plants, next animals, and humans last." Science, at the time of Genesis, had the earth first and stars last, but Genesis said no, the stars came first. Modern science has proven that Genesis was right all along.

                                                                                  Similarly for more modern history. Scientists discovered recently discovered ancient egyptian records off the egyptian army chasing the jews after plagues hit egypt - just as described in Exodus. From what I see, more and more scientific discoveries are confirming the ancient legends. They are, of course, ancient legends and just as the modern commercialized St. Nick doesn't quite match with our understanding of the historical Saint Nick, some misinterpretation over the millenia is to be expected.
                                                                                  The book of Genesis says God created it in 7 days, makes no mention of the 100,000s of creature who came before Homo Sapiens and is so full on holes it makes a sieve look solid. But they got it right on a couple of counts, so it all has to be the word of God.

                                                                                  The Plagues are all natural phenomenon and any happen all the time. with or without Moses. Got links to the evidence of them army chasing the Israelites out of Egypt? Been watching programs made before they found it. These programs had evidence Egyptians built the Pyramids.

                                                                                  Evolution is easy to prove, because it's all around us and happening today. Man is showing "God fans" how it's true.

                                                                                  Think about it before you answer.

But they got it right on a couple of counts, so it all has to be the word of God.

Paul you must know that English professor who made a lot of TV programs about religions... in one of these shows he was travelling through the US and talking to some religious people and they were totally convinced that the planet is 15.000 years old and there was no way for him to have a normal debate about it... so basically these fanatics just deny everything modern science has come up with in the past decades. God created earth 15.000 years ago is what they keep thinking. But what happens when they get seriously ill? Do they go to their church to pray and ask God to cure them, or do they go to a hospital where people are being treated based on modern science?
