How do you know that Neanderthal and Cromagnon had no consciousness? In fact I believe that the Neanderthal buried their dead with some ceremony or ritual, that points to consciousness to me.
They also had art.

That aside, if you don't care, then why are you in this thread? If you didn't care what we thought, you wouldn't be here.

Unless, unless...Could it be that there is an ugly old troll in our midst? Seems right to me. This one attacks all sides, and to my shame I've been feeding it.

Peace.
You could care less or you couldn't care less? Just wondering.

If I could care less about what someone says or thinks, it means I'm not showing as much apathy towards it as I could. But then again "atheist" is apparently a plural noun.

Since we're talking grammar here, I helped you with punctuation and the necessary prepositions

You're assuming the existance of a single created man called Adam, an idea that is mythology not fact.

Well I go by Archaeology, the bible and civilization. Civilization didnot appear until Adam, but there obviously were " Cavemen" far before Adam existed. This 6000 year explination of human existance that many christians believe, just does not square with Archaeology and science. And it does not square with my belief. Although I am not christian, I accept creation as the reason we got here, God made humans. He made Adam, but he also created Cromagnon and Neandrethal humans.

I think the explination is that God didnot give cavemen Consciousness, only a high level of instincts. They, like animals, survived on instincts and never developed civilizations. Although the bible calls Adam the " First Man", obviously he was not. So it remians to reason that Adam was the first human created with active working Consciousness. And thats when Civilization began.

I know many here consider my views foolishness, as I consider their views foolish. But we each must think for ourselves. I trust Only my own mind, nobodyelses. Burying their dead can be done by instinct, as eating and making tools can be done by instinct.

Peace.

What I mean is that I hold to my own mind, trust it more than anythingelse. I don't care what others believe, I don't care to convince others of my belief, and I don't really care what people think about my views, because nothing people say and do shape my beliefs.

I care about people as much as I have in life, and I don't feel any obligation to explain how I have expressed that care over my 54 years. Those who have received it, know it, what people on the internet think about me, is meaningless to me. I am not after a following, nor trying to build support.

I am convinced that God is responsible for all things.

And all of us are fortunate that he is. Because humanity left to itself, would only eventually kill each other off in time. Any reasonable mind that cannot see this, is simply blinded by the Darkness.

Peace.

One has to wonder why you even bother to post in this particular forum, is it to incite or are you here to make a statement, personally I think it's the former since you state you don't care about what anybody else thinks about what you had to say and with that being the case, why are you here.

That is the problem.
That people tend to believes their minds!
Until you're mind is a clear mirror and reflects what is, it's all just intellectual garbage, speculation, fantasy, etc., etc.
So make art.
Stating with such certitude the nature of phenomena is just silly.
Wouldn't you rather be open and empty so that at some point (way on down the road) the way of things might be revealed to you?
You're so filled with false "knowledge" that there's no room for clear seeing to happen.
And at least with science ... good science ... there is something tangible to work with and something that will allow one to stay somewhat grounded (which you are not).
Anyone can tell themselves stories that are quite believable.
Without discernment, which you clearly lack, you're just spouting nonsense and you're fooled by your own mind.
And the fact that there are aspects of truth in what you say makes it all the more possible for you to convince yourself that what you think is true.
There are actually one or two things that you've said that i partially agree with.
But they are little pieces of a bigger picture that you don't clearly see.
