Since 2001 there has been an academic leaning towards the notion that the Red Hair Gene comes from the mixing of Homo Sapiens and Neaderthals 100,000 years ago or so...
What are your views? Are red hets somehow ungodly if this is true?

First of all get your facts straight. Neanderthals are not extinct, they simply took up an alternate lifestyle and now populate most of Hollywood. Extinct versions of Homo Sapiens, you mean like the short lived Barbra-Stresandnics and Alecbaldwinapens, we are better off without them.
Red heads on the other hand are hot whichever species.

Neanderthals had fire, religion, verbal and written communication, and a deficiency in proper eating habits. Technically, they are no different from Homo Sapiens.
And if what you say is true, then there is no speciation there.. no more than there is between "Canis familiaris" and "Canis lupus". Both are still canines, whether you call it a dog or a wolf.
The only difference is they had a slightly different skeletal structure. But then again, Caucasians have a different skeletal structure than Africans. By that logic, shall Caucasians be put into a seperate species than Africans, and Toy Poodles in a seperate species from Great Danes?

"Academic Leaning" is a new phrase for me. Is that how you try to portray it as somewhat true? I know the english language.
First off, if you were to mix a homo-sapien with a neanderthal, then one could not have come from the other as evolutionists claim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They would have to be around at the same time!
So, if the neanderthals had the red gene then the Homo-sapien would have them too!!!
You aren't making any sense!!

Do you have any links to that study that suggest red hair comes from a mixture of homo sapiens and neanderthals? I've never heard of that one.

It is said that the first spirits came to Earth to live inside
animals, like they live in the human body today. That they
got stuck here by the forces of Creation.
I wonder if the first humans weren't clumsy attempts by
E.T.s, using monkey DNA to have a better body for spirits to live in. And the "missing link" was when the Highest Power gave
humans a boost, so to speak, giving us a better human body.

homo sapien remains can be dated to about 6500 years ago which ties in with bible chronology. there were no remains of homosapiens dated before then. the other remains would be of creatures created on the 5 creative day (or undefined period of time if the hebrew word is used properly). animals are never mentioned as having been perfect or living forever, so it is perfectly justifiable that they died. Humans only died because adam sinned and lost perfection.

In all honesty, I really don't get into the creation/evolution argument much. I believe in creation, but somehow I'm sure it's scientifically linked with evolution.
But, those issues are not relevant to my salvation, so I don't spend a lot of time worrying about it or debating it.

That is the first I have heard of that. So half my family has the Neanderthal gene? That explains a lot. I turned out blond but am the only one. How odd...

I believe Neanderthals are just another form of walking animal.
I don't think there is enough DNA to include them in the human species.

According to Islam, early man was 40 cubits tall. Homosapian Neanderthalensis was quite large compared to modern Homosapian Sapian, so it kind of confirms Islamic belief.
