Neanderthals??

Post by Shirtless »

The little info on the Neanderthals on this site makes me a little confused.

So far from the slide on origins of man (way too advanced for me) I see that the Neanderthals were only very intellegent bipedal apes. Tons of questions immediately pop up when I here that. Like, does that mean that they lived in the freezing cold with NO CLOTHES during the ice age?!!

Are there other apologetic sites that deal with the Neanderthals?

Well the latest evidence shows that Neanderthals are actually humans. The original skeleton was diseased, resulting in an artist impression in which the Neanderthal is hunched over. It is thought that we share a common ancestor, but they were isolated in Ice Age Europe.

Oh, good, not all atheists are stupid in all areas. At least you'll admit it.

An atheist can't find God for the same reason a criminal can't find a police officer.

You need to start asking out girls so that you can get used to the rejections.
