Do cavemen fit with the Bible?

Answer 1

Do I believe in "cavemen?" I sure do. Cavemen are just men who live in caves. There are real live cavemen that live in Australia today. At the town of Coober Pedy where it's so hot, people live under ground, instead of on top, and they have TV sets in their houses. Real live cavemen with TV sets!

You see, there have been many times in the past when people have lived in caves. You could imagine that after the event of the Tower of Babel, people spread out over the earth, and some of them would have gone and lived in caves. Because people have been so indoctrinated by evolution, they tend to think that because someone lived in a cave, they were primitive -- they were not as advanced as us or something like that.

Actually, it is interesting to look at the cave paintings of some of the people that lived in the past, like Cro Magnon man. Now, I certainly couldn't draw paintings as good as they have done. They showed people with their clothes and hats on. They were exquisite paintings. You see, these people were obviously highly intelligent and were not "ape men." Just because they live in a cave, doesn't mean they were primitive.

Do cavemen fit with the Bible? The answer is in Genesis. All people descended from Adam and Eve, even those people who lived in caves!

Answer 2

Aztec276 says
"Evolution is actually the origins hypothesis ("Creation myth") for the philosophy of scientific naturalism, which believes the physical world is an absolute."
and this is not actually true. Evolution is currently working while the creation from the Bible was supposedly 6000 years ago and done. Science is still working on the origins of species and of life and it is complicated.
The Bible is the history of a part of the population of earth as they developed it while they lived in various places (including caves but not being Cave Men as it is usually meant) at the eastern end of the Mediterrainian in contact with other more or less civilized people. Nothing in the Bible suggests there were people who preceeded them who were entirely hunter gathers or nomadic herders and had no agriculture. Without agriculture (growing crops) it is impossible to settle down and develop arts and government since the growing population will quickly expand to eat all the natural food within walking distance.

Answer 3

No. Modern science has left Bronze Age mythology behind. We have learnt so much in the past 200 years or so about our origins. The Bible may go back 6000 years, but archaeologists believe that Man may have domesticated the dog at least 15,000 years ago! I
am not going to get into any arguments, just leave you a few links to look at at your leisure.

Answer 4

Ah.. the age old question. I went to a Catholic college and in a class taught by a priest, he said that yes it does fit. He told the class that The Bible was written by men and in the time before Christ it was some history and some beautiful literature.

I know there are very strong feelings about this but you cannot dispute the fact that prehistoric man does exist. The bones were not made up in a lab as some insist.

Answer 5

Cavemen lived maybe 50,000 or more years ago.
Dinosaurs were around 350,000,000 years ago,give or take a few days.
I believe the bible puts the age of the earth at around 6000 years
Even the Chinese dynasty may have pushed 6000 years.
does not look like a fit to me.

Answer 6

Evolution does not fit with the Bible. Some people try to make Genesis fit with evolution historically, but the argument is flawed.

Even if they meshed historically (they don't) they still cannot be matched theologically.

Evolution is actually the origins hypothesis ("Creation myth") for the philosophy of scientific naturalism, which believes the physical world is an absolute.

Answer 7

You've got it backwrds...The Bible does not fit with cavemen....

Answer 8

No -

Scientific records of early man go back a million years or so. The Bible insists that early man like the earth has only been around for thousands.

Answer 9

As with any version of the bible, there is a lot of personal interpetation involved. As a general rule though, the timelines really don't fit very well.

Answer 10

Not the Neanderthal cavemen evolutionists talk about.
