Since Neanderthals shouldn't technically be called "Men" I don't think it conflicts that God created man. Eve coming out of a rib is just a story, to show that the last species to evolve has arrived. "The coming of Man" if you will. There must have been hundreds if not thousands of Homo sapiens born after that to other Parents as well. Adam and Eve just symbolized that the age of man had arrived. Subsequently, the rest is all about how man took unfair advantage of their developed brains to dominate the Earth. Survival of the fittest
The last species to evolve? You know there are other species to have evolved since human beings, right? Humans are in no way the last species to have evolved.
Our species is far from the end of human evolution. Imagine the possibilities with biotechnology and nanotechnology alone. The next species will have modified DNA and I don't imagine anyone choosing not to enhance their offspring's DNA below that of modern civilization. Trust me...in 100 years, we will be the latest "Neanderthals".
Ever hear of Singularity? Who needs god if you can live forever. Man has always been his own god. The next species will realize that and begin to embrace it. They will obtain the power to control much of their own destiny and won't need to depend on silly fantasies to protect the fragile insecurities.
