Not necessarily. First off, none of the timelines in the Bible have any basis in linear chronological time as we use it today. They simply did not think about time in that way. The stories are just about things that happened in our past, but not necessarily in the order presented and certainly not with the timelines inferred using cited genealogies. Many of the stories could reference very, very early stages in our human evolution. It is possible that the real sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was that of actual adultery - sex with animals - probably at a time when this could produce horrific "adulterations" of our species.

easy, if true, the bible did not describe the process in detail. the rock record does and it is the only thing written in god own hand writing.

god created man through evolution.

Oh good grief. Here we go again. Evolution is not a political belief, it's science. And no evolutionist believes our ancestors are monkeys. I wish that those who are so passionately against evolution could actually get the science right, or even close.

I believe the bible record is specific about the adamic period, for a reason. It has something to say about the mankind that was made in Gods image. And the creatures discussed made 'according to their kinds'. For homosapiens, what the absolute truth of that is Im not entirely sure, but it probably has something to do with the law of sin and death and the law of the spirit of life in Jesus, that displaces the law of sin and death, unto our perfection, when we return to God. Are those laws unique to the adamic period - maybe that is the question, that there can be a 'salvation' during this adamic period of souls from sin and death. It's not insignificant that Jesus appearing at 'just the right time' is in the adamic period, which as it looks now is extremely short compared with the longevity of earth and the universe. Therefore, we are small and God is truly massive, and got plenty more creations up his sleeve - Star Wars always had it right - In a galaxy, far, far, away.

Nothing against Neanderthals, of course. I'm sure their spirits returned to God, as do cats and dogs. Every created thing, spirit, has its place and will eventually give glory to God, with as much of its individuality and being as it can practicably do.

I don't think so. From the evidence it is believed the Neanderthals were most likely as intelligent as modern human beings. It is likely that they were able to speak not as sophisticated as we can but relatively close.

You just proved you have NO concept of what evolution is. Your scientific illiteracy and ignorance is stellar.

Or were they soul-less in the same way as many people believe animals are? I suppose having 1-6% of Neanderthal DNA wouldn't make me any less human, but what about 50%, as, presumably, those first mixed children were. And if they were in every way like us, what of those other species like Homo erectus, etc? When did humans acquire souls?
Most, like Ken Ham, would say science is WRONG and that Neanderthal either was not HUMANOID or that Neanderthal was just a few years before Christ and ran with the T-Rex and Abraham..remeber the T-Rex is a vegetarian...

Who cares. You should ask the evolutionists how this should be reconciled though, in terms of common ancestry.
