[W:#183]Humans in the Americas before last Ice Age

Why yes there is...you exist therefore God exists...
I'll believe it when he gets back from getting smokes.

What kind of sick entity sets up a system like jahweh's?

Never shows his face, will send you to be tortured forever if you don't obey him anyway.

Biggest. Asshole. Ever.
 
That is a very weird response. You might try to read what he provided before looking silly...
I did. The paper that wasn't firewalled absolutely did not say "water covered the entire earth."

It said there was more water than could be held in the mantle. That's not the same thing.
 
Didn't they find evidence of a hominid species somewhere in or near New Guinea that went extinct in "family" memory.

Denisovan, that is the extinct hominid that mixed genes in with H. Sapiens all over that region.

And I think you are mixing that with H. Floresiensis, or "The Hobbit". There were in Indonesia around 50-100kya. Far to long for any oral tradition to remain about them. And they have tried to extract DNA to find out where they might fit in, but have not yet been successful.
 
Again, you've provided no proof that Denisovan genetics "returned" into current HS.

Oh holy hell, here we go yet again. Rejecting anything you do not agree with, refusing to do any of your own freaking research, then screaming you are still right yet producing nothing yourself.

Surprisingly, this mtDNA diverged from the common lineage leading to modern human and Neanderthal mtDNAs about one million years ago, that is, about twice as far back in time as the divergence between Neanderthal and modern human mtDNAs.

This is specifically talking about Denisovan. Notice, it split over 1 mya. Which is well before H. Sapiens evolved.

We used the D statistic8 to test if various pairs of present-day humans share equal numbers of derived alleles with the Denisova individual. To do this, we restricted comparisons to pairs of present-day humans sequenced at the same time to minimize the chance that differences in sample processing could affect the results. We find that the fivefold coverage Papuan individual shares 4.0 6 0.7% more alleles with the Denisova individual than does the French individual, and we observed a similar skew in all 10 comparisons of Melanesian and other non-African populations (Table 1).


Feel free to go over this all also. Specifically pay attention to where it talks about the Denisovan genes (like Neanderthal genes) not being present in the most archaic of African H. Sapiens lines, but then appearing in those in E. Asia. Once again, only possible by reintroduction. Not genes carried with them from Africa, but actually jumping one or more intermediate species and returning to the main hominid tree.

But once again, I expect you to simply scream and shout I am wrong, you are right, and you will present absolutely no evidence for your beliefs, and not bother to do any of your own research yourself.

As you can see, I have studied this. But the difference is I am still studying things along these lines, and when such a topic comes up I do a but more research to make sure I am working off of the most recent findings.

You on the other hand simply scream anybody not in agreement with you is wrong, present no evidence, and argue with everything you do not like.

Next time, do your own damned research. And you show me why I am wrong, I am sick and tired of showing to you why I am right, and seeing you dismiss it without even any reference or research of your own.

You are believing that what you have heard from mainstream Christians is the truth. It's not. Paul saw 3 different mansions of heaven in First Corinthians chapter 15. All who eventually confess Jesus is the Christ will be in heaven. Which degree or glory of heaven will depend upon other important doctrines that mainstream Christianity lacks. I believe God lives because I know Joseph Smith saw the Father and the Son. The doctrine of Heaven is cleared up because as prophesied by prophets and apostles of old, these are the days of the restitution of all things lost through apostasy. The level of glory will depend upon one's personal testimony of Christ. Those who had little or no opportunity to know of Christ and the true doctrine will through baptisms for the dead and continuance of life in the spirit world until the Day of Judgment and Resurrection. Missionary work continues after this life for those who keep an open mind and heart and repent continually. So, for 99.9% of the billions of God's children, there will be Heaven awaiting them. Only a few who even after being in the presence of the Father and the Son by the power of the Holy Ghost reject what they see, hear and feel. They will be thrust down to Perdition, a place run by Lucifer and Cain.
So, he does show his face to those who need to see Him. He speaks to all who will listen through the Holy Ghost. Millions and Millions of people hear Him. The great blessing that will never parish for good is the right to free moral agency of choice. We had this in the pre-earth life and we have it here although many try to take that away by denouncing the existence of God and spews lies about God and his oracles on earth. The only torment will be that you have been warned and told that you can have eternal life with an eternal family in Heaven if you are valiant in your Testimony of Christ until the end, you will not receive this Celestial Glory Kingdom (Mansion). But, if you don't reject Christ at the Judgment Day, you will receive one of the lesser glories (Kingdoms), but still in Heaven. The torture will be what you know that you could have had. It may feel like a fire and brimstone thing, but that is not a literal thing.
 

There is a lot of data and writings on this subject if one has an open mind like all scientists should have.

Quote something you think is absolute proof of a global flood. I'm not going to go through a bunch of wild speculation from idiots. The idea of a global flood is absurd. People in China or South America would have noticed.

Edit: Also, it has to be a global flood that occurred while homo sapiens roamed the earth. Glitch tried to cite some bullshit from literally billions of years ago. People who think Noah's flood is a true story can't accept such a claim because they don't believe the earth existed that far back.
 
Didn't they find evidence of a hominid species somewhere in or near New Guinea that went extinct in "family" memory. That ancestors talked about small "not men" in the hills and artifacts were found? I think it was inconclusive-but-possible at the time I read about it.
I'd love to know when that discovery was made, since Tolkein seemed to use it via the Púkel-men.

I love how he wove so much ancient history and legend into LOTR.
 
Man discovered what God had already established. Man is not God. He is unable to create anything new. What he invents is already there. And, no, all the earth sciences do not support old earth-universe. They support young earth- universe. 10,000 scientists say so.
😂🤣😂🤣 - 2 MILLION scientists say NO! There are 32,000 geologists in this country alone - and that's just one of more than 2 dozen different planetary sciences that confirm an old earth. And astrophysics alone - all by itself - confirms a universe in the many billions of years old.

You're being deceived in the most despicable way. "Creation science" isn't science at all. It's theology masquerading as science.
Sorry.

Yeah. I.looked it up after I posted. When I first heard of it it was a new discovery. I think the story in their verbal history is what got the researches looking that found the cave. And I think they had the 12ky number then, but posited that with the find, where the stories said it was, and the stories it was possible a small group survived much longer, contemporary with early homosapiens arrivals and they left no fossils or remains or such. We only have the tiniest window into the distant past. Even the more recent past, really. Because nature and time washes it all away.

I like the idea that some other hominids made it to what we would call "ancient history". Early civilization.

I've spent a lot of time looking at the transition from hunting and gathering to sedentary agriculture. I believe much of our problems as a species today began in that transition. That change caused more evolutionary pressure on us as a.species that we had ever experienced. (That was an idea I had that later was covered in a peer reviewed paper).

Lots.of new things that have carried into today began then. Wage labor, the management class, professional guards/soldiers, rigid top down heirsrchies, organized religions and the priest class.

All a radical shift in a very short time from extended families of relatively physically equal alpha predators.

Here's the first article I found:

Or not...

Shitty rigged system overseen by an entity no one would invite to their house twice.
 
I understand,
But there was no link.
You'd think I'd know how to do this by now.


They have moved the probably site date back to 50k years.

I need to look up the original story with the oral tradition part.

That was the cool.part to me. That there were stories about the "little men that weren't men" living in a spot and that was where they found the site.

So either a long oral history or a more recent co-occupation of the area. Both pretty cool to think about.

OMG, that's awesome. I love to see myths become reality.

Definitely not Tolkein's inspiration, though. Myths of little people living in the woods have been told in other cultures, including the Irish, for a long time though. We still know about leprechauns, don't we?

Do you have any PhD's in any field of science? You should think about that before calling anyone idiots. Again, you refuse to learn anything that deviates from your ideology. Yes, ideology.
People in China and South America were as wicked and were swept away as well. After the flood and the Ice Age, people again were allowed to populate the world. So, all they have are legends in their histories.
Don't know why it's absurd that the entire earth could not have been flooded at the same time. Waters from the wells of the earth and water from the heavens poured down upon the earth until flooded. Their weren't great mountains at that time. During the upheaval flood did the mountains appear as they are now. Fascinating!

It's sad they are all duped by their own ideological ignorance. It's funny reading their writings and those in general publications what use a multitude of "fuzzy" words to describe their ideology. Yet, they behave badly when anyone objects to their fuzzy words. Safety in numbers of idiots I guess.
 
Last time I checked this thread was in the Academia forum, not the Religion forum. Nor does this thread have anything to do with floods, planetary or otherwise. It is suppose to be about humans in North America. Either stay on topic or start your own thread, don't hijack this one.

You must be confused. You brought up the time when humans came to North America. No reason not to suggest the error in thinking and reasoning. 10,000 scientists are brave enough not to get sucked into the lies of the 2 million. Maybe you should study about this rather than making uneducated judgments.

Wow, 10,000 compared to 2 million? Seems more likely that 10,000 have mental issues and can not differentiate between reality and fantasy.

Of course, I am also old enough to remember when 8 out of 10 doctors would recommend a specific brand of cigarettes.

Not sure what it is exactly you are trying to prove though. What am I more likely to believe?

That 10,000 individuals have been fooled by nonsense, or 2,000,000 individuals have been fooled by nonsense?

I stake my money on the 10,000 being fools. After all, there is always a percentage that will be foolish, even if simply to be contrary.

And to me, it reminds me a lot of roughly the percentage that subscribed to the idea that 9/11 was a controlled demolition, and 10,000 other crazy conspiracy theories and other nonsense that most who have full use of their mental faculties would not accept.

"Fuzzy words" - LOL - Needless to say, you guess wrong. Science is based on empirical evidence - not ideology. The only one duped by ideological ignorance is you, my friend. The speed of light is a constant, and the false cosmology of "the bible" is a tale written by Bronze Age men - not god. The Author of the universe is not the author of that book. If you buy into its literal inerrancy, you do yourself a great disservice, and can't see the forest for the trees. The sun does not revolve around the earth, serpents can't talk, nobody can live inside a big fish for three days, and light was refracted into rainbows billions of years before any fictitious flood.

It's time to abandon belief in myths, or you risk missing the lessons the myths can teach you.

You can go with the safety in numbers joke. But, the truth is with the 10,000. And, more and more, the 2 million are not laughing anymore. Their theories are not adding up.

You don't get it. empirical evidence is just information. Then, the information gathered has to be interpreted to mean something. The interpretation comes from an ideological belief either the universe and earth are billions of years old or the belief that Genesis is correct and the universe and earth are only thousands of years old. When old universe-earthers interpret in publications or on air they use words like "might be," "could be," with now definite conclusions. Listen and read how they think life began on the earth. "There's a chance," "What might have occurred," "We believe what happened," and so on... Never, "this is exactly what happened." So, your theories you follow are ideologically driven.
To your ideas of what Genesis says is incorrect and ideologically driven as well. Genesis, nor any part of the Bible, says the sun revolves around the earth. "Serpents" correctly used is representative of Satan (Lucifer.) Satan can communicate with us. If God wants to make a fish or whale large enough to have you live inside it for 3 days, He can. He's God. And, you ideologically assume the flood is fictitious with no proof. And, rainbows came about after Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden.
