What are Neanderthals to Christians?
825504
Not all Christians take the bible literally.  Catholics accept evolution.   So what are Neanderthals to me?  As of the latest news - possibly some ancestors because it is believed that Cromagnons and Neaderthals might have bred together before the Cromagnons completely took over.

They were Jewish. \n\nAlso Christians are not a sect of Judaism and we actually have very little in common.

To my knowledge the Bible doesn't mention anything about dinosaurs.  I've read about donkeys and giants, but no dinosaurs.  I figure I'll just ask Jesus about them when I get up there.

Well, that's pretty much the official belief of many Christians, including the Roman Catholic Church. They believe in evolution, an old-earth, etc. They just believe that God was the driving force guiding that evolution.

The Nephilim (fallen ones, giants) were the offspring of sexual relationships between the sons of God and daughters of men in Genesis 6:1-4. There is much debate as to the identity of the "sons of God" (see our article on this subject here). I believe the correct view is that they were fallen angels (demons) who mated with human females and/or possessed human males and then mated with human females. These unions resulted in offspring that were "heroes of old, men of renown" (Genesis 6:4). What were the Nephilim? According to Hebrew and other legends (the Book of Enoch and other non-Biblical writings), they were a race of giants and super-heroes who did acts of great evil. Their great size and power likely came from the mixture of demonic "DNA" with human genetics. All that the Bible directly says about them is that they were "heroes of old, men of renown" (Genesis 6:4). The Nephilim were not aliens, they were literal, physical beings produced from the union of the sons of God and daughters of men (Genesis 6:1-4).

the so-called christian record was compiled just a few centuries before the fall of roman imperialism under constantine. he called together so-called christian scholars to set the canon, that is those books which were to be included in the bible. as for a christian fossil record, there is none. fossils are actually bones and skeltons of animals which have been suffused with chemically inert material similar to stone. to become a fossil takes thousands of years, not just a few, but thousands of thousands of years. mankind, as we know him, has been here for less than twelve thousand years, which is not long enough to turn even the smallest bone into a fossil.creationism is nothing more than a religious position which has absolutly no basis in fact anywhere. the latest attempt to get god , and hence religion, back into schools is called intelligent design. this is nothing more than replaciung the word for god with the words intelligent design by those same self-professed experts who want religion (specifically creationism) to be taught instead of evolution. the major difference between the two is this, evolution explains based on scientific principles, religion makes claims based on belief but is never supported by facts.

In my opinion nothing.  Many die hard Christians agree and believe dinosaurs never existed because they are not in the bible.  Many other just as die hard point to Job 40:15-24 as a description of a dino.  Check the website out.  I still think the bible says nothing, but make up your own mind...

There is numerous concrete fossil evidence of the lineage leading from apes to man, from the fossils of Australopithecus afarenesis, A. africanus, and other Australopithecines which do not appear to be in the line leading to humans, to the early Homo species, such as Homo habilis and Homo erectus, to the archaic Homo sapiens specimens to anatomically modern Homo sapiens sapiens fossils.\n\nPiltdown man was never accepted as valid by most paleontologists, even at the time.  It was popular with a few British archaeologists, because it was found in England, but it was shown to be a hoax consisting of an orang-utan jaw and a human skull inexpertly modified with a file by paleontologists (the very people whom creationists incorrectly try to blaim for the hoax).\n\nNebraska man was also shown to be a pig's tooth by experienced anatomists and paleontologists, rather than the untrained reporters and doctors who forwarded the claim.\n\nOta Benga was a sad case of racism expounded by an explorer a circus promoter and the insanely racist director of the Bronx zoo.  It had nothing to do with actual evolutionary theory, any more than the Branch Davidians in Waco had anything to do with the bible and Christianity.\n\nNone of these cases disproves any of the scientific tenets or proof of evolutionary theory.

We don't know and we will never know.  \n\nChromosomes are extremely fragile and will break down within a few days fo death at the very most. Since the last of the Neanderthals died over 30, 000 years ago it goes without saying that we don't have any Neanderthal chromosomes.

Where does it mention dinosaurs in the Bible?
840161
They're mentioned in the Bible I think in the way that a primitive society would write about dinosaurs. As giant beast and dragons and so forth.\n\nIf you listen to most Christians rhetoric about the dinosaurs, you'll realize they cannot reconcile archaeological findings with their own beliefs. Many of them deny the existence of dinosaurs all together. Some say they're not as old as science has claimed. Some even say they lived on other planets and when G*d used the material to make the earth he took the bones with it.\n\nThe fact of the matter is we are living with people who use an outdated reference guide for life. They cannot admit that they've been had. The earth is not 6000 years old. The earth is not 10,000 years old. Dinosaurs DID exist. And we evolved from a species similar to ourselves.\n\nI won't claim G*D did not create the dinosaurs....as I don't know. \nAnd I won't claim science is perfect....we all know it's not.\nBut when you take the overwhelming preponderance of evidence and throw it all out the window because of a book your mommy told you was true.....well, that's just stupid.

Fools of faith.  I always enjoy asking devout Christians if they believe in dinosaurs.  When they say yes I ask them how long ago they lived.  When they say millions of years ago I ask them how that could be when the Bible says the Earth is only 6000 years old!  It's funny watching them try to squirm their way outta that one.

Religion is based on faith\nEvolution is based on evidence.  Take an anthropology class.  Hold casts of skulls that slowly morph from ape to human.  Keep in mind that evolution itself is FACT, we see mutations all the time, and enough genetic mutations = evolution.\n\nhttp://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/homs/\nhttp://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/homs/specimen.html
