Pre-Adamites

Not at all. Rather, the point is that you can't think that me being unable to identify some fossil is equal to proof that everything I say is wrong. Rather, that happens sometimes because it is only a fossilized remain, not the real thing.

I wanted to make that clear before answering.

What runs counter to specifically my claims? There are animal remains that can be accurately identified 99% of the time, I just didn't want to act like it was perfectly recoverable and hence fall into some kind of trap. Tell me what's the problem with regarding all of these as beasts. Because it goes against some other guy's classification? But first tell me how you know he is absolutely objectively right. Is it because he impresses you with some aspect of his character? What reason do you have to think he can never fail. I'm assuming he hasn't cloned its DNA to prove his claims.

And that's why stone tools are important. They can give us a gague of the kind of intelligence they possessed.

Holy shit how can this be possible. I was looking at this same subject today and now there's a thread for it. Wtf?

Saint Augustine says the "came from dust" thing shouldn't be taken that literally. However Adam and Eve were the very first human beings and its an article of Faith and who says otherwise is a winnie the pooh faggot and an heretic.
Homo erectus and all those tiggers were just animals like a dog or a cat.

The Church Father's disagree with you. Do you think you can explain the creation of the world with words? Only God understands it He only tried to explain it ti us in a softer way.

You can state facts about it sure.

So you think the facts given to us are wrong basically? Do you think God accidentally told us this in Exodus 20:11 and that God didn't really know what he was doing, when He could have just left that part out?

Exodus 20:11
For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Since then, God, in whose eternity is no change at all, is the Creator and Ordainer of time, I do not see how He can be said to have created the world after spaces of time had elapsed, unless it be said that prior to the world there was some creature by whose movement time could pass. And if the sacred and infallible Scriptures say that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, in order that it may be understood that He had made nothing previously — for if He had made anything before the rest, this thing would rather be said to have been made in the beginning,— then assuredly the world was made, not in time, but simultaneously with time.  For that which is made in time is made both after and before some time — after that which is past, before that which is future. But none could then be past, for there was no creature by whose movements its duration could be measured. But simultaneously with time the world was made, if in the world's creation change and motion were created, as seems evident from the order of the first six or seven days. For in these days the morning and evening are counted, until, on the sixth day, all things which God then made were finished, and on the seventh the rest of God was mysteriously and sublimely signalized. What kind of days these were it is extremely difficult, or perhaps impossible for us to conceive, and how much more to say!
City of God book 11 chapter 6

We see, indeed, that our ordinary days have no evening but by the setting, and no morning but by the rising, of the sun; but the first three days of all were passed without sun, since it is reported to have been made on the fourth day. And first of all, indeed, light was made by the word of God, and God, we read, separated it from the darkness, and called the light Day, and the darkness Night; but what kind of light that was, and by what periodic movement it made evening and morning, is beyond the reach of our senses; neither can we understand how it was, and yet must unhesitatingly believe it. For either it was some material light, whether proceeding from the upper parts of the world, far removed from our sight, or from the spot where the sun was afterwards kindled; or under the name of light the holy city was signified, composed of holy angels and blessed spirits, the city of which the apostle says, Jerusalem which is above is our eternal mother in heaven;Galatians 4:26 and in another place, For you are all the children of the light, and the children of the day; we are not of the night, nor of darkness.1 Thessalonians 5:5 Yet in some respects we may appropriately speak of a morning and evening of this day also. For the knowledge of the creature is, in comparison of the knowledge of the Creator, but a twilight; and so it dawns and breaks into morning when the creature is drawn to the praise and love of the Creator; and night never falls when the Creator is not forsaken through love of the creature. In fine, Scripture, when it would recount those days in order, never mentions the word night. It never says, Night was, but The evening and the morning were the first day. So of the second and the rest. And, indeed, the knowledge of created things contemplated by themselves is, so to speak, more colorless than when they are seen in the wisdom of God, as in the art by which they were made. Therefore evening is a more suitable figure than night; and yet, as I said, morning returns when the creature returns to the praise and love of the Creator. When it does so in the knowledge of itself, that is the first day; when in the knowledge of the firmament, which is the name given to the sky between the waters above and those beneath, that is the second day; when in the knowledge of the earth, and the sea, and all things that grow out of the earth, that is the third day; when in the knowledge of the greater and less luminaries, and all the stars, that is the fourth day; when in the knowledge of all animals that swim in the waters and that fly in the air, that is the fifth day; when in the knowledge of all animals that live on the earth, and of man himself, that is the sixth day.

In fact I recommend you to read the whole book 12.

Book 11 I mean

Your homework assignment is to read Exodus 20:11.
