What do scientists say about existence?

[Astreja]

Was mentioned*: Bipedal Locomotion is common design, not common descent. Would be expected the Creator would use this methodology.

Bipedal locomotion is just one of many attributes of hominids, and its existence in non-hominids in no way disproves common descent.

Researchers have attempted to identify the common ancestor** that gave rise or modern humans and Neanderthals, but that connection remains elusive. This does not bode well for the idea of human evolution.

I disagree.  The DNA similarities between humans and chimpanzees are, as far as I'm concerned, a slam-dunk that there was indeed a common ancestor.

Don't like the idea that you're related to another species of ape and that you aren't the special snowflake the Bible says you are?  Cry me a river.

But again, Neanderthals are hominids that are not endowed with a Spirit...

Unsupported assertion -- No evidence that *anything* is "endowed with a Spirit."  Spirit, as far as I'm concerned, has always been pure fiction -- A cozy little fable that believers tell themselves to wave away the extraordinarily high probability that nothing survives its own death.

Keep your paws off science until the day you come to a laboratory with actual empirical evidence of this "Creator" you keep talking about.

...And yet:

Angels were created with a Spirit and free will, with no redemption plan;

Sounds like a dodgy pension plan to me.

If I were an angel, I'd unionize.
