RE :”I guess our having just elected a retard President proves we have soul ...”
This is exactly what the libs said about GWB for 8 years, they called him the Chimp. It took many bad events and time to convince the public they were right.

Soul: Mind, will and emotions.
Yes, early Man had a soul.
The dimwitted questions people ask...and the dimwitted commentary that follows.

At least by Neanderthalensis as theirs is the earliest representation of it as they
buried their dead with flowers, evidently indicating some sense of an afterlife.

Who could possibly believe that beings as anatomically close to us, with brains our size, just sat around in caves caring for retarded children and making tools without learning how to ride a horse, farm, write and build cities for 450,000 years 45 times longer than recorded history?Good point. "Lucy" has some splainin' to do.

Part of the arrogance of the Darwinists is the belief that man at this present time represents the pinnacle of evolutionary development and that earlier humans were thus lesser formed in mental ability and humanity.
Finding early humans cared for their sick or took time to perform some type of burial ritual seems a surprise when life is viewed through the lens of evolutionary M.J. (Mumbo Jumbo is the technical term), whereas the Bible says man was made in God's image, capable of love, compassion, mercy, etc.
“It should be remembered that all of recorded human history, in which man went from stone tablets to interplanetary space flight, covers just 10,000 years. Scientists must be shocked at this announcement; the discovery of blades this early suggests that these toolmakers were capable of more sophisticated behavior than previously thought, Gibbons wrote. She ended by hinting that maybe even older blades are waiting to be found.”
Another arrogant Darwinist confuses living under primitive conditions with low intelligence. Early humans are invariably pictured as dark skinned with broad noses like the Aborigines of Australia or such.
“How much longer before the scholarly community rises up and tells these storytellers they have no idea what they are talking about?”
(sigh) How much longer will the chattering ignorance keep coming from The Temple of Darwinism?

That sentence is Creo drivel. The pinnacle thoughts are Christian dogma, not science

without learning how to ride a horse
Horse riding comes only after animal domestication which, in turn, comes only after a stable population has shelter and enough to eat. Early man spent all his waking time hunting for food to drag back to his cave.
farm,
See above. In addition, farming requires a protected piece of land suitable for cultivation, a division of labor within the group, sophisticated tools (including animal domestication), irrigation, etc. Give me a break./
write and build cities
Writing was invented by modern man, again, only after sedentary living, a food surplus, a standing army, and many other things had come first.
The main problem with this sort of anti-science illogic is the same as the invention of the laughably misnamed "feminist anthroplogy" and "social justice studies." Can evolution theory and belief that G-d created man coexist? Of course.

Ignoring the temptation to revert to rituals of worship of providence, I must agree and it is a long held tenet of mine, that evolution is not a goal-oriented process.

Not so fast here! The Bible says animals are nephesh too as at Gen. 1:20. Free will sets humans apart from animals but it isn't what makes one a soul or nephesh according to what the Scriptures teach..
No period, no end of discussion, thank you.

So it took man 450K years of sitting in caves to be able to make any progress? Like I said, “Lucy” has some splainin’ to do.

Lucy has been discredited. She turned out to be an ape after all.

Did Adam and Eve have a soul before they ate the apple? Even more important: why did Adam and Eve have belly buttons?
