If you are religious explain Neanderthals

[Whateverist]

1) What is the purpose of Neanderthals?
-Why does there have to be a purpose? Neanderthals went extinct (or created a hybrid) when they came in contact with Man. That is tragic, but man eventually dominated the Earth and began to wage war, steal, do evil things etc. Maybe their purpose was to create a balance in the food chain? Just a speculation.

Boring.

2)Did God judge them?
- Did they know right from wrong? Were their brains as developed as our ancestors? They developed tools, buried their dead, so they were smart. But seriously who has time to think about right or wrong when you are chasing an animal so you could MAYBE get a bite to eat?

Uninsightful. Modern humans too have had to work hard to eat until very recently in evolutionary terms.

3) Will they be in heaven?
- How the hell am I supposed to know?

Exactly. We would first need to know what 'heaven' is and, if it does, whether any hominids at all get in.

4) Which group would define Adam and Eve
- Homo Sapiens Sapiens. Read my paragraph above. Adam and Eve symbolize the coming of the Human race which we are familiar with.

Raw assertion regarding fictional characters. For all you know, this was a story our kind got from the Neanderthals before they disappeared.

5) How do you explain the Primitive Species
- God created man in his image. I don't know about you, but I'm not calling a Neanderthal, or homo erectus, or habilis, or autralopethicus MEN.

Utter bullshit of course about god. And I don't really care how you choose to refer to early hominids. Not mannish enough for you? Meh.

These are my views. Why? Because I had and still had a love of Science before I cashed it in for Faith.

Fixed that for you.
