This may sound dumb but I want to know, because surely cavemen go against the theory of creationism since Adam and Eve were way beyond cavemen when they started, They had language and could make dwellings so either creationism has a period where the entire earth goes incredibly dumb and forget how to make fire and wheels (which I don't remember there being) or they don't (or shouldn't) believe in cavemen.

Creationists do not deny cavemen, but you're making a number of mistaken assumptions:
1. There is no direct evidence that cavemen had no language; that is only conjecture.
2. There is nothing in the Bible to confirm that Adam and Even could make dwellings or build wheels, and only slight hints that they could make fire.
3. Even if Adam and Eve had the skills listed in (2), *why* can't people have forgotten?

Yes.
Cavemen: blokes who lived in caves at a difficult time in the earths history: the ice age. So basically they were too cold to invent fancy stuff but I don't think theres any evidence they couldnt make fire!
Did you ever learn in school about neanderthals? They were meant to be some "dumb" cousins of Homo Sapiens, now science (not just creationists) classifies them as Homo Sapiens, which is what they were, albeit suffering rickets for lack of sun which explained why they looked a bit funny. Also interestingly they had bigger brain capacity that we do today, but apparently that doesn't mean much...

i've got faith cavemen and persons are 2 differnt species. i've got faith that if there have been an adam and eve that they got here after the cavemen. or perchance you nonetheless had your cavemen, yet adam and eve perchance have been born human. Ive heard some theories that adam and eve perchance have been in basic terms sybolizing cells. I dont have faith people and cavemen are appropriate. Thats in basic terms case have been comparable doesnt recommend have been the comparable species. Apes are lots like people yet that doesnt recommend we progressed from them.

Cavemen as predecessors of Adam and Eve are not believed in by creationists. However, humans living as 'cave dwellers' can be part of their belief. It is easy to understand how a group of people could have become separated from society and regressed into a 'caveman' state.

Intelligent Design has no problem with cavemen. God breathed Spirit into Adam. THAT is what made the 'monkey' into a man.
But I found the TV sitcom Cavemen to be boring. Whiney Liberals simply are not funny.

How on earth could cavemen NOT have been human (answer above)? - cavemen left us clues as to their humanity - funerals, paintings, musical instruments etc. Only humans are artistic, and I can't imagine humans having ever lived without music, it is part of what defines us as human - cavemen built Stonehenge (while Egyptians were building pyramids!)

I personally don't believe that humans in general evolved from cavemen, but I think it's possible that there were groups of humans that interbred and were not as advanced as the rest of civilization. If they lived in caves, then I guess that would make them cavemen. Or cavepeople, as it were.

Wow. I just opened my Bible, and this is what I read.
"But now they mock at me, men younger than I, whose fathers I disdained to put with the dogs of my flock. Indeed, what profit is the strength of their hands to me? Their vigor has perished. They are gaunt from want an famine. Fleeing late to the wilderness, desolate and waste, who pluck mallow by the bushes, and broom tree roots for their food. THEY WERE DRIVEN OUT FROM AMONG MEN, THEY SHOUTED AT THEM AS AT A THIEF. THEY HAD TO LIVE IN CLEFTS OF THE VALLEYS IN CAVES OF THE EARTH AND THE ROCKS. AMONG THE BUSHES THEY BRAYED, UNDER THE NETTLES THEY NESTLED. THEY WERE SONS OF FOOLS, YES, SONS OF VILE MEN; THEY WERE SCOURGED FROM THE LAND." Job 30:1-8
This speaks about cave dwellers in Biblical times. Obviously, they were shunned by others.
If you are, however, speaking about a so called "neandrathal man," then, I don't believe they existed. There were, however, cave dwellers. That is obvious, also because people have found drawings and such in caves. This doesn't mean they are milliions of years old, and that there were "other kinds" of humans then. I believe what the Bible teaches, that the earth is only about 6,000 years old. God created things and humans just like it says, and there are no so called "cave" men. God Bless

You mean those dumb apes that were afraid of their own shadow and died of old age at 24? No.
