Science is finally moving closer to the truth

JERUSALEM – Israeli archaeologists said Monday they may have found the earliest evidence yet for the existence of modern man, and if so, it could upset theories of the origin of humans.

A Tel Aviv University team excavating a cave in central Israel said teeth found in the cave are about 400,000 years old and resemble those of other remains of modern man, known scientifically as Homo sapiens, found in Israel. The earliest Homo sapiens remains found until now are half as old.

"It's very exciting to come to this conclusion," said archaeologist Avi Gopher, whose team examined the teeth with X-rays and CT scans and dated them according to the layers of earth where they were found.

He stressed that further research is needed to solidify the claim. If it does, he says, "this changes the whole picture of evolution."

The accepted scientific theory is that Homo sapiens originated in Africa and migrated out of the continent. Gopher said if the remains are definitively linked to modern human's ancestors, it could mean that modern man in fact originated in what is now Israel.

Sir Paul Mellars, a prehistory expert at Cambridge University, said the study is reputable, and the find is "important" because remains from that critical time period are scarce, but it is premature to say the remains are human.

"Based on the evidence they've sited, it's a very tenuous and frankly rather remote possibility," Mellars said. He said the remains are more likely related to modern man's ancient relatives, the Neanderthals.

According to today's accepted scientific theories, modern humans and Neanderthals stemmed from a common ancestor who lived in Africa about 700,000 years ago. One group of descendants migrated to Europe and developed into Neanderthals, later becoming extinct. Another group stayed in Africa and evolved into Homo sapiens — modern humans.

Teeth are often unreliable indicators of origin, and analyses of skull remains would more definitively identify the species found in the Israeli cave, Mellars said.

Gopher, the Israeli archaeologist, said he is confident his team will find skulls and bones as they continue their dig.

The prehistoric Qesem cave was discovered in 2000, and excavations began in 2004. Researchers Gopher, Ran Barkai and Israel Hershkowitz published their study in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology.

The consistent shift in scientific theories as far as human origins and "evolution" is concerned shows just unreliable their so called theories can be i was just reading on Nat geo that there could have been another universe that existed before the so called big bang

@skyone
You could be an Idol worshipper for all I care but I remain a resolute believer of the gospel of my lord Jesus christ and I remain eternally bound by his teachings.

@joagbaje
Stop using this fake azibaula I.D to campaign for "seeds" and filthy lucre on behalf of Oyaks. Oyaks doesn't care wether you guys starve or rot in hell as long as the cash keeps rolling in under various scams/schemes.

@azibaula
You can starve for all I care. You can use all your money for idol worship, that is if you are not a servant of the idol and also collecting money from other muguns on it's behalf.

PS: I hope corn seeds are acceptable I could sow some of those sha if you have a good firtile seed.

thehomer:
No they couldn't.

Other lines of evidence dispute this other than the Nephilim being mythical creatures.

It is not clear whether this discovery was a giant. Just that it had large molars.
The split from neanderthal ancestors occurred about 350,000 years ago which is far before the Noah incident.
They seem to still have descendants despite the fact that Noah's flood was to have wiped them all out.

The highlighted above derives from the theory of evolution which is still an unproven myth. Science is just finally discovering what has been in the bible for eons that there were other species of humans that our ancestors could interbreed with.

A previously unknown kind of human—the Denisovans—likely roamed Asia for thousands of years, probably interbreeding occasionally with humans like you and me, according to a new genetic study.

Genesis 6:2-4:
2 The sons of God saw the beautiful women and took any they wanted as their wives. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not put up with humans for such a long time, for they are only mortal flesh. In the future, their normal lifespan will be no more than 120 years.”
4 In those days, and for some time after, giant Nephilites lived on the earth, for whenever the sons of God had intercourse with women, they gave birth to children who became the heroes and famous warriors of ancient times.

Could the giant Nephlites / sons of God be the same as the Denisovan man recently discovered by scientist? The denisovan man was also a giant specie.

Abi oh, the type of spiritual illiterates CE keeps churning out is appalling and despite all our efforts to open their eyes, they would rather remain in darkness.

Yes oh! Christmas go jolly jolly well well, the good lord has been blessing me bigtime despite not falling for the tithe and seed sowing scams your pastors preach as precondition to receive God's blessings!

Pele iyawo pasito

Joagbaje using one of his numeous aliases again. Deception is truely a culture in CE.

what is dis sweetnecta ranting about

@Nuella2,mabell & newmi

We know the so called men of God that are in it for the money and your false pastor stands high amongst those who are in the ministry for filthy lucres sake. Ask yourself would Opaks do what he guy i wrote about did? or would he feel to big and rather rivell in his ill gotten wealth and luxuries it provides.

1st taste of missionary work. Poor me was in nice shirt & suit. Got picked up from Jos in a nice SUV. Then we got to the Kachia in Kaduna & We had to change to a rickety pickup truck. No space in front so I had to sit in the open back. Cold long trip in the thick bush on a rocky brown road with no lights. Got to anobon village looking all brown from head to toe.

It was indeed a great experience. There was just one toilet and bathroom in the entire village. It was built by the missionaries. Amazing really. These people live in another world. It was joy to see all these young folks , who have left everything to go live in the bush with these people just for the sake of the gospel. I met one who had to paddle on a canoe for an hour to get to the village where he ministers. Another one just finished university this year. These guys are graduates and they left all. I bless God for the privilege to meet these great Nigerians.

The above was posted on the facebook page of a friend who is a genuine man of God striving to serve God selflessly and do his will. The funny thing is that he is a Nigerian based in the U.S yet he left the comfort of the U.S and his family to God and serve God in this area area without any motive of material benefits. I just felt i should share this with us here and contrast it to our so called men of God wo have turned their churches into business concerns and are more interested in the own comfort/luxury than the true work of God which should be selfless.

The question this thread poses reminds me of the thread "is it scriptural to eat amala?" God gave us a brain, i wonder why some people refuse to use theirs

Thank God it is over, now we can have peace!

And of course the traffic the rccg jamboree caused yesterday was horrendous, several innocent victims like myself were stuck in traffic for several hours even upto thirdmainland bridge.

Redeemed sha, they love flirting with big names and Any Goverment In Power [AGIP]

Why must churches charge for every little service they render? I thought they are meant to be charitable organizations.

The true men of God are notthe noise makers, they are ones quietly and selflessly impacting lives of people without expecting any personal benefit other than the joy they derive from being used by christ to be a blessing to others.They genuinely have christ like love for others and they put this love into practise, they are not self seeking, proud or conceited like most of the charlatans that make noise and annoint themselves as men of God. I won't bother naming the genuine ones course you can never know them and neither would you respect them cos they are not mega star entertainers like the MOGs you guys are used to.

@mabell
On the contrary I am acting like our lord Jesus Christ who was a great critic of the priests and pharisees of his time. I do not critisize the true church of christ or those doing his will, what I critisize are institutions that claim to preach christ yet they deny him by their works and charlatans who claim to be men of God but are actually using God's as a money making venture.

My take is uncle joe would soon rebel against oyaks and go and start up his own "church" business.

By the special grace of God.

@nuclearboy
How now? Hope you are doing great.

@nuella
You are the one who said you can give opaks "anything" which implies you can give yourself to him. Such acts are not uncommon in sects were their leaders are idolized.

@pastorAIO
Thanx for the above post. Futher evidence that prosperity gospel is from the darkest pits of hell and those preaching it are actually agents of the devil using "deceitfulness of riches" to lead souls to eternal damnation.

@joagbaje
That is becos CE puts soooo much pressure on members to bring money to there coffers. Why CE is always mentioned is becos a large portion of this proceeds of crime is always given to CE. That is why your church is very dangerous, thru your greed you are breeding criminals and prostitu.tes and CE members don't have problems with commiting crime or immorality becos of the erronous poison they are fed with that as christians they can't sin.

@nuella
I am happy for you, I am sure you wouldn't hesitate to even give your self to him cheaply if he as much gives you a hint. Afterall christ embassy adherents are not known for their moral values.

Testimonies of fleecing the flock and scams abound in christ embassy

@enigma
Thanx for that interesting contribution.

@alethia
Nice comprehensive clear and precise write up, unfortunately the likes of uncle joe who should benefit from it are soo immersed in their delusion of self importance and creating an impression that they have special access to God and the rest of us must use them as intermediary. Through their arrogant expression of ignorance they make the death of christ a nullity in their lives and that of their eqauling ignorant members.

She is probably a member of MFM. They teach their members to scream when they pray.
