Neanderthal man? If Adam & Eve were created on the 7th day, and we've only been around for 6,000 years, Neanderthal man was around 150,000 -28,000 years ago, then he must have been created on the first day. So what, was God just playin' around the first 6 days?

Logical educated answers only please! And I know it's not in the bible, so save your copy and paste scripture for someone else.

Some of these responses seem to assume that science says Homo Sapiens evolved from Neanderthal. They cohabited the planet, and the evidence in Europe suggests they comingled sexually and the dominant traits of Homo Sapien simply became the norm. The arguments that science might be wrong are correct; it's simply far less likely that peer reviewed modern data is wrong and the scribblings of bronze age nomads are correct. It's also interesting how metaphor is generally only seen in the Bible when the Bible says so, or when the literal meaning is plainly falsified. Faith, in the Christian usage, has come to mean mere stubborn loyalty. Given the logical inconsistencies in the Bibke and koran, and modern scientific evidence, to still be an Abrahamic believer is to have intellectually failed. These answers make it plain that that failure was not congenital but self chosen.

For about 100 years the world was led to believe Neanderthal man was stooped and apelike. This false idea was based upon some Neanderthals with bone diseases such as arthritis and rickets. Recent dental and x-ray studies of Neanderthals suggest they were humans who matured at a slower rate and lived to be much older than people today. Neanderthal man, Heidelberg man, and Cro-Magnon man are now considered completely human. Artists’ drawings of “ape-men,” especially their fleshy portions, are often quite imaginative and are not supported by the evidence.

Since there have been more than one world flood in the past that wiped out most of the life on the planet. You would need to find the closest flood period to the time that you mentioned and work from there.
No.not playing around . but maybe experimenting with different types of forms to find one that would have the best chance to survive and grow intellectually.
Six Days and how long is Gods days.Since you brought up the subject while not wanting things from the Bible. then you must believe in God .There were other tribes of homosapians outside of the GARDEN when ADAM and EVE were escorted out. Where did they come from. ADAM and EVE were the first of the race we call Israelites not necessarily the first humans on the Earth.

We are not even sure who the Neanderthal were! Their remains are found alongside those considered to be modern man in Israel. There is evidence from a recently discovered child's skeleton that they may have simply been a family group or related group with some distinct features which intermarried with others. If that is the case, they never died, they simply got absorbed into the larger population. Dr. Jack Cuozzo has a book out, "Buried Alive," in which he presents evidence he thinks supports the idea that the Neanderthal were really simply very old humans -- possibly those who lived immediately after Noah's Flood. If that is the case, they died because they got old! But whoever they were, there is little doubt that they were fully human.

First of all God created Adam and Eve on the 6th day, along with all the land animals. Science has no proof of anything 150,000 years ago. Prior to day 1, which was 6,000 years ago, time didn't exist.

Neanderthal Man was proven to be a false representation of evolution.

The original skeleton showed a stooped appearance when reconstructed. This was later discovered to be caused by simple osteo-arthritis of the spine.

Other skeletons (classified by cranial capacity) of the same typ have been dtermined to be your average, everyday Tom, Dick, & Harry.

Most science books conveniently leave this information out. Doesn't fit with the Evolutionary Model.

Adam and Eve were created on the sixth day. The basis of your question seems to be that the "scientific" evidence of neanderthal man is correct, and we have to bend scripture to fit it. Have you looked at it from the point of view that maybe science is wrong, and the plain word of God is right?

Did you ever consider that God had creation recorded as 7 days because human beings are generally dumb and incapible of comprehending the billions of years since the big bang.

Well, I think creationism is bull5hit anyways, so...

Oh and time doesn't exist, it's just a concept created by humans. When we see more light, due to the angle of the Earth in it's orbit, we call it day, and when we see less light, we call it night. So time never existed. Take that and shove it up your a55 creationists.

ADAM TO THE HEAVEN BOUND

Adam at age 930, died in first 1000 year perfect day,

To end 391 years at year 3460 after Eden and Adam,
