But God created Adam and Eve like us so why would he create Neanderthals too? It makes no sense.
Concerning the neanderthal picture you posted, Buffalo responded with:
‘They purposely render these to conform to evo theory.’
Buffalo is exactly right. The picture is an imaginary reconstruction based on the evolutionary paradigm of man. All we have are the skeleton bones of the so-called neaderthals. We have no idea what there skin color was, how long there hair was, or that there face was cave-man like as reconstructed in the picture. Again, it is an imaginary reconstruction based on the evolutionary paradigm.
From what I understand, the neanderthal skeletons had all the anatomical features of modern man with slight variations that can be found in modern man today or in the recent past. They were bi-pedal and walked upright just like we do and I believe various artifacts such as quite advanced stone tools, artwork, and I think possible evidence of burial of the dead have been found associated with them. As the saying goes, ‘If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, its a duck.’ So, it appears from the evidence they were human beings descended from Adam and Eve. There is no reason to believe they were created by God apart from the first couple of the human race he did create, namely, Adam and Eve. Such a belief, indeed, would make no sense. They were obviously descendants of Adam and Eve and it appears a particular race of humans as we have many races presently and in the recent past such as the various indigenous indian tribes in the America’s from which many of the people now living are descended from.
Also, there is no such thing as a sort of evolution of intelligence according to the imaginary evolutionary paradigm of man. This is contrary to what we observe presently in the world between human beings and all other animals including the living primates as well as all recorded history. We also know from the teaching of the Church as well as sound philosophy that every human being’s spiritual soul which includes the spiritual faculties of intelligence and will is immediately created by God and united with his body at conception and thus a human being is one being composed of spirit or soul and body or matter. The spirit or soul is the ‘form’ of the body. There is a huge difference between human beings who possess the spiritual faculties of intellect and free will by which we are made principally in the image and likeness of God and animals who do not and this is plainly evident by the simple observation of the world of animals.
