That is what I get hit with every time my worthless brother-in-law (If you know him he probably owes you money) starts to speak.

Adam and Eve were created mature adults
I believe they were in what we would consider their 30's.
That's my opinion and belief.

They dont seem real clear on what it is other than a human jawbone. So, how do they know its human? What's the difference, both animal and human were created on the same day 6000 years ago.

Perhaps not.
There is an ignorance bias in the number 6000. Recent studies extend the date to 6053 years. There is also some uncertainty in the number of months and days in the last year.

So, now I’m disappointed. A couple other FReepers mentioned her, but no one actually posted the picture.
Well...OK...I’m not *that* disappointed.

Tattersall and Schwartz suggest that many more human species existed than we previously thought, and that many of them existed contemporaneously until about 25,000 years agoInteresting . . .

So, is the jawbone now 500,000 1/2 years old?

Every "day" enumerated in Genesis ends with "And the evening and the morning were the [n
th] day."
Every day save one.
This is crucial to understanding Biblical chronology...

Given the age range 300,000 to 500,000 years ago, I wonder why they haven’t proposed Hidelbergensis. There are a lot of H skulls of that age shown in the Evolution of Man exhibit funded by the Kock brothers at the Smithsonian Institution.
The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve
in local libraries
"Frayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]
