Human Exceptionalism: An Expert Panel on Neanderthals and Animals

[@Detectken]

I was glad to hear Erika bring up our early domestication of dogs. There is some evidence of a type of reindeer domestication around 60,000 years ago. As far as chimps and Neanderthals taking care of the old, sick and injured in their group, this is also seen in African wild dogs.

Humans wore clothes very early, to me that denotes a spiritual aspect of human exceptionalism. What do we share? How are we different? It’s the difference that matters

Went from fig leaves then upgraded to clothing

So Hugh Ross retired already then?

No, Hugh was an attendee of the event. He wasn't a speaker.

Excellent series. Very interesting discussion. Nothing changes. If you accept Yahweh humans are exceptional, if you don't they are not. 1) The alleged string knot she is talking about is 1 mm in size of unknown origin. 2) Bipedal shoulda, woulda, coulda, but, DID NOT. Who is exceptional then? - Me / You! 3) If dogs helped us out-hunt the NT to extinction why in the 200,000 years they were here didn't they do it? So smart right? 4) NT could read? - nonsense. No animal except humans has ever read symbols! They state we'll never know but we'll claim it anyway to support our agenda and you can't prove us wrong. 5) It is all confirmation bias, and relative truism. I believe it to be so, I want it to be so, my not settled science evidence “might” say it's so, therefore it is so. 6) Interesting to me that they could not answer Dr. Ross' questions. 7) They just want us to accept that animals are more complex than we give them credit for and "maybe" they were our precursors, or may be not! 8) Highly educated, but brings up the mythical Thor? Is that what she thinks of Yahweh that gave the Biblical authors accurate information of Creation events, which they documented, that happened thousands, to millions, to even billions of years before they were born? Psychological indoctrination from the halls of Academia. That’s kind of sad. 9) Just because I disagree with some of their conclusions does not mean that I don't enjoy the professional presentation and respectful discussion.

Excellent retort! Bravo for Jesus. Our God who entered our dimension as God the Son. Lived out the corrupt culmination as the Son of man. Without faith, it is impossible to please God.

Where does gutsick gibbon stand ? Is she a theistic evolutionists,or just evolutionists,or an OEC ?sounds like she was a Christian until she met Ken Ham.

[@MutsPub]

@@Terrylb285 She was raised as a Christian who is now an atheist that rejects Creationism due to her Biology education. She abhors YEC zealots like Ham, Sarfati, Hovind, et. al. All Religion to her is allegory and makes her feel good. Humans are not a special Creation. In fact, to believe so in her words is, “arrogant.”

[@Terrylb285]

She seems to be driven by her emotions ,and doesn’t want God to exist

[@Terrylb285]

@@MutsPubare biology and genetics tied together, in other words does genetics answer questions that biology can’t?

God is by definition, invisible and unknowable. But according to god creators their personal god is a male image of themselves. So which is it?
