The idea that all of humanity evolved from apes, can be attributed to Charles Darwin and his flawed theory. The accompanying narrative that all of humanity traveled as one, through different periods of earths early development, IE the stone age, bronze age, the iron age and so on, is a complete fabrication. When we look at the age of the great pyramid and then the so called stone age Australian aborigines, the timelines don't fit . The imaginary Neanderthal period is also a great example of that same story, as the bones that they say prove their existence in museums, contain very little real bone fragments. Its easier to supply pieces for a jigsaw puzzle, if you give people a picture to work from, even if that picture is imaginary. I would have to add though that during my night club bouncing days, I was often confronted by modern Neanderthals. My scientific friend informs me that bones placed in the ground turn or return to dust in a relatively short period of time, unless they are in-cased in tar or in volcanic rocks. So thus you unlikely to find bones that are millions of years old, in your backyard.
The written record I use is the Bible as you know, this I believe to be an account of the period before written records, given by the one who was actually there.
Some of the posts I have read on this thread, sound like they speak of a Galaxy far,far away and might be directed by George Lucas. Or perhaps from L Ron Hubbard of Scientology, who also began as a science fiction writer. I know what you think of the Bible Apprentice but I am yet to be convinced by, what you believe happened in the beginning. I have presented just another version of how we got here, for people to consider, some of theses other versions are hard to prove also.
Seeing as You tube videos are important it seems, this guy presents an interesting slant on the popular Dinosaur story.
