Why did God intelligently design Neanderthals? Were they a botched prototype?

Answer 1

Apparently extinction is a major portion of the Intelligent Designing process. Only one in a thousand species that have existed remain today.

Answer 2

Neanderthals were not the ignorant brutes that popular science and Geico commercials portray. They were perfectly normal humans who were the descendants of Noah for the first few hundred years after the Flood. They had no choice but to dress in skins and use simple tools until they could find the ore in the mountains to make more complex metal weapons. They were actually very intelligent; they were just in a kind of "Gilligan's Island" situation. They had to make do with what they had. If you dressed a Neanderthal in a suit and had him walk down the street, no one would notice.
Some Neanderthal skulls show a thickening of the skull bones (thus the brow ridges), which often happens with extreme age. Keep in mind that people before the Flood were living upwards of 900 years or more; after the Flood, these conditions were gone, so people didn't live as long, but they still lived to be about 300 years old for a few hundred years after the Flood. This would have produced the thickened brow ridges and skull bones, and the lack of sunlight due to the volcanic and geologic activity as the planet tried to get back into equilibrium would have produced rickets in many people.

Answer 3

I left a message with God. The answering machine said He would get back to me.

So I looked it up. They were not a botched prototype. They were specifically designed that way so as to tempt man to doubt. It was to help you grow and exercise your free will. Again, I am just forwarding the info, not passing judgment on the accuracy.

So feel happy, the very fact you doubt means you are doing the Divine Will. But if you continue to doubt, Satan and all his little minions will come and get you. It is good to ask questions, just don't ask too many as you may accidentally run into truth and that is always bad.

Just a note, I left a message with the minions. I do not like bothering the Big Guy Down Under as he is a bit concerned with his time. Minions on the other hand are glad to be out and about and no longer Down Under. As there are no phone lines Down Under they must come in person.

The official response from His Prime Minister's Office was that they were unintelligently designed and the fact that you have heard of them means the cover up was botched. It is the job of the minions Down Under to bring the truth out into the open and so wish you would continue asking such questions.

I would have continued the conversation, but the Archangel Michael scared the Minion away, hit me on the nose with a rolled up newspaper and "bad dogged," me. There is nothing like being bad dogged by an Archangel.

So you have two answers. One from a reportedly reputable source that remains unnamed, but purports divine authority by reliable others. The other also a reportedly reliable source from the Man Down Under. On the other hand, I do not know how reliable a Minion is, given the Minion works for the Father of Lies.

So, judge whichever you think is more reliable.

Answer 4

Funny. The Creationists keep insisting that Intelligent Design is real science and is *not* based on scripture. However, every reply to a question about Intelligent Design is based on Scripture.

How does the supposed existence of giants in Genesis explain the original question in terms of Intelligent Design? I thought Intelligent Design wasn't a religious concept?

Answer 5

Oddly enough, discarded versions are more like the way evolution works, rather than omnipotent creators. Who'd of thunk it?

Fireball: Genesis also tells us of talking donkeys and people who ride around in the belly of a fish.

Answer 6

Excellent!

But I heard this rumor from a Christian, that old Adam found a very fertile female gorilla one day and it took the Christian God 50,000 years to wipe out the evolutionary results.

Answer 7

So now people are justifying neaderthals as the 'giants' in the bible?

Sometimes I wonder if people ever stop to listen to themselves.....

Anyway to answer your question. Intelligent design doesn't exisit so no it wasn't a prototype.

Answer 8

Sorry about not answering the question but hutchinson is an idiot! It is people like you that make me keep my questions and answers private.

Why is it okay to report someone - especially this person - who asks a perfectly genuine question????

Answer 9

Yes they were botched he didnt have the right kind of dirt to make them ;)

Answer 10

The were intelligently designed by Satan to deceive you.

He must have done a bang up job, sucker!
