The invention of the caveman; and his subsequent demise

The beast like Neanderthal was one of the first myth like inventions of the Darwinists. He became as iconic and well known as Ronald McDonald, finding his way into every nook and cranny of modern culture. Now evolutionists are admitting this image was a fabrication.

Quotes and comments;

1. 'A complete reversal of thinking about Neanderthals has been going on for some time now. PhysOrg added more fuel to the idea that Neanderthals were not “dimwitted brutes as often portrayed,” but smart, organized and successful, able to control use of fire for 400,000 years in the evolutionary timescale. [1.]

- This sentence should read, ''not the dimwitted brutes as often portrayed by evolutionists." Biblical creationists have (for the most part) denied the existence of any dimwitted brutes in the human lineage. The bible knows nothing of such creatures (or should I say caricatures). It has been Darwinists who have invented the beetle browed idiot caveman, and given him an imaginary history and lifestyle. (Maybe reparations are in order.)

The people who survived the first centuries after the Noahic flood deserve our greatest admiration, and don't deserve all the belittling (and dehumanizing) comments made about them by Darwinians.

2. 'In fact, “the oldest traces of human presence in Europe date to more than 1 million years ago,” it said. That’s 600,000 cold winters without fire. No one seemed to be questioning the dates.' [1.]

- This story just screams refutation of these 'evolutionary' dates. How can anyone think people survived freezing winters without fire? How can anyone think they could do this for 600,000 years. That 'Munch' like howling you hear are the voices of our ancestors... wondering how we can be so stupid as to accept these fabricated dates, these utterly absurd timelines. [3.]
Doesn't anyone in the evolutionary camp find these dates just a little staggering... just a little impossible?

3. 'The simplest explanation is that there was no habitual use of fire by early humans prior to roughly 400,000 years ago, indicating that fire was not an essential component of the behavior of the first occupants of Europe's northern latitudes, said Roebroeks. "It is difficult to imagine these people occupying very cold climates without fire, yet this seems to be the case." [2.]

- Is that the simplest explanation? Apparently it doesn't matter that (as far as we know) it's impossible. If the impossible can't refute these Darwinian time scales what can?
I have a different view than the author. I don't find this difficult to imagine, I find it impossible to imagine. (Maybe the author of this comment would like to try it for a ten years or so... or a few... or even one.)

4. 'Neanderthals, like other early humans, created and used a unique potpourri of stone tools, evidence that they were the ancient inhabitants of particular sites in Europe.' [2.]

- The bible denies that there were various 'races' of humans. It speaks of only one race; that all humans who have ever lived had a single parent origin. I agree with those who think that these classifications into several 'human' races are arbitrary... the result of ignorance, bias and a false time scale.

5. 'According to Villa, one of the most spectacular uses of fire by Neanderthals was in the production of a sticky liquid called pitch from the bark of birch trees that was used by Neanderthals to haft, or fit wooden shafts on, stone tools. Since the only way to create pitch from the trees is to burn bark peels in the absence of air, archaeologists surmise Neanderthals dug holes in the ground, inserted birch bark peels, lit them and covered the hole tightly with stones to block incoming air.
"This means Neanderthals were not only able to use naturally occurring adhesive gums as part of their daily lives, they were actually able to manufacture their own," Villa said. "For those who say Neanderthals did not have elevated mental capacities, I think this is good evidence to the contrary." [2.]

- How is it people as bright as this needed 800,000 years to invent agriculture and to learn to ride the horse. That makes no sense to me.

March 14, 2011 — In a perfect world of scientific knowledge, scientists would understand everything and be able to predict everything according to their best theories. The number of surprises that continue to turn up, however, show that we remain far from that perfect world.
