I agree, it destroys the religion of atheism, which is loaded with irrational presuppositions, like infinite regression, acausality, indeterminism, etc.

Theism is the only rational choice for rational people. It takes much less blind faith to accept.

So the Assyrian Empire proves miracles can't happen? Even Hume would blush at such an illogical argument. Can't wait to show my kids this arguments.

Your views against miracles are irrational and held together by blind faith.

Your posts are getting desperate. I'm going to have to move on.

It's not that, it's just we don't follow every theory religiously as you do. Science is a philosophical construct, which has its weaknesses just like any other philosophy. It is not the end all ultimate epistemological system. It's made lots of mistakes and is evolving. Currently, in regard to origin science, I think it's actually moving in the wrong philosophical direction.

...gender vs biological sex?...a theory?...religously?...that's pretty funny...

Homo sapiens lived in Eretz Yisrael 400,000 years ago
By JUDY SIEGEL-ITZKOVICH

Teeth found near Rosh Haayin older than anything uncovered in Africa.

Eight human teeth dating back as far as 400,000 years ago and found at the prehistoric Qesem Cave near Rosh Haayin discovered recently by Tel Aviv University researchers are the worlds earliest evidence of modern man (Homo sapiens).

Until now, remains of humans from only 200,000 years ago have been found in Africa, and the accepted approach has been that modern man originated on that continent.

Long before the land was called Israel and the residents Jews, Homo sapiens lived here twice as long ago as was previously believed, the researchers wrote in the latest (December) edition of the American Journal of Physical Anthropology.

The cave was uncovered in 2000 by Prof. Avi Gopher and Dr. Ran Barkai of TAUs Institute of Archeology. Later, Prof.

Israel Hershkowitz of the Department of Anatomy and Anthropology at TAUs Sackler School of Medicine and an international team of scientists performed a morphological analysis on the teeth found in the cave.

The examination included CT scans and X-rays indicating the size and shape of the teeth are very similar to those of modern man. The teeth found in the cave are also very similar to evidence of modern man dated to around 100,000 years ago that had previously been discovered in the Skhul Cave on Mount Carmel and the Qafzeh Cave in the Lower Galilee near Nazareth.

The Qesem Cave is dated between 400,000 and 200,000 years ago, and archeologists working there believe that the findings indicate significant changes in the behavior of ancient man.

This period of time was crucial in the history of mankind from cultural and biological perspectives, and the fact that teeth of modern man were discovered indicates that these changes are apparently related to evolutionary changes taking place at that time, they maintained.

Gopher and Barkai noted that the findings that characterize the culture of those who dwelled in the Qesem Cave the systematic production of flint blades, the habitual use of fire, evidence of hunting, cutting and sharing of animal meat, mining raw materials to produce flint tools from subsurface sources and much more reinforce the hypothesis that this was, in fact, innovative and pioneering behavior that corresponds with the appearance of modern man.

The specimens, date back to the Middle Pleistocene era, include permanent and deciduous teeth. They were thus placed chronologically earlier than the bulk of fossil hominin specimens previously known from southwest Asia.

Although none of the Qesem teeth resemble those of pre-Homo sapiens Neanderthals, a few traits may suggest some affinities with members of the Neanderthal evolutionary lineage, but the balance of the evidence suggests a closer similarity with the Skhul-Qafzeh dental material, said Gopher and Barkai.

According to the researchers, the discoveries made in the Qesem Cave may change the perception that has been widely accepted to date in which modern man originated on the continent of Africa.

In recent years, archeological evidence and human skeletons have been discovered in Spain and China that are liable to undermine this perception, but the findings now uncovered at Qesem are significant and invaluable, and their early age is undoubtedly an extraordinary archeological discovery, said Gopher and Barkai.

As excavations at the cave continue, the researchers hope to uncover additional discoveries that will enable them to confirm the findings published up to now and to enhance their understanding of the evolution of mankind and especially the appearance of modern man.

Probably closer to 8-9 feet tall, and lived 900 years. This would make logical sense if they were to fill the earth with people. Legend has it Adam and Eve had 33 sons and 23 daughters. The source is Josephus I believe.

But I can see why this is difficult for some to believe.

Were they Jewish? Because I'll guarantee one of our resident Zionists will claim that they were!

LOLOL.. They probably were.. as forerunners of all the Canaanite tribes.

The Habiru were landless Canaanites and Israel was a clan or family within the Habiru.

Obviously it is a senseless argument , in that neither view can be conclusively demonstrated .
So your dogmatic assertion is actually just your own preference and no statement of fact .
I have to say that I have never seen anything to suggest that the Universe is " Loving". It simply exists .
As for a God --- well , if you have a line to him , Good Luck . I am not sure I would even want to speak with him in case I lost my temper at his stupidity .

Actually .. a loving God has existed since the birth of Jesus.. What a radical he was.

There were no Jews, nor any modern humans at all, 400,000 years ago.
