Modern Humans, Neanderthals Shared Earth for 1,000 Years

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the but-not-washrooms dept.

joffley writes "ABC News is reporting on new evidence that has emerged suggesting Neanderthals co-existed with anatomically modern humans for at least 1,000 years in central France, before gradually disappearing about 28,000 to 30,000 years ago. But why did they disappear?"

    They disappeared because God didn't create the world until six thousand years ago! So if they coexisted with us thirty thousand years ago, it doesn't matter because the world was created long after that.

    Either that or they missed the Ark.

    Of course, the article talks about how the Neanderthals were found to coexist with our species in France. And that explains why the French are so evil in the neoconservative Christian theology - they weren't God's chosen species!

    Maybe the Christian Right just traveled back in time and killed them off because they're not mentioned in the Bible.

    I know, I know. -1 Offtopic, -1 Failure to actually be funny. Hooray!

    Of course the biggest problem of our century is supposed scientists and learned people stumbling on a few interesting facts and making outlandish assumptions and passing them off as irrefutable truths.

    Then a the haters come and latch onto these facts make a world from vein imaginations and then subject us the rest of society to their artificial hell.

    As opposed to the living hell on Earth that is everyday life caused by religion passing off plain lies as irrefutable truths.

    It is nice to know that your religion is contradictory in nature. How is this crap modded insightful?

    Following science to the exclusion of anything else is also a religion. Perhaps you want to ammend your values.
