Egyptian sculpture of a transitional hominid.:

See, I can play the AoS game too!
Is that a transitional fossil between demigods and humans?

Demigods are the missing link?

Yes:

"some part of the tropics were inhabitated by several highly developed societies of apes far more intelligent than humans, having a form of state and government, several kinds of industry, sophisticated technology and all institutions that come with complex societies, such as hospitals and universities, zoos and museums." PAOLA CAVALIERI & PETER SINGER, polymaths, 1993

(This is actually quite fun, I can see why you do it!)

Interesting -- in view of the fact that, just prior to the Flood, the earth was one giant tropical climate, with a race of superintellectuals called Nephilim.

They are the missing link that is proof of evolution:

You're awesome! You're starting to put AoS to shame! :D

The link between apes and humans are the Nephilim? AWESOME!
The link between apes and humans* is disease.

* As I understand it, we didn't come from the apes. I thought the question, "If we came from apes, why are apes still around?" was a PRATT? Despite the fact that our "ancestors" carry the name "pithecus" in their entries -- :doh:

"If we came from apes, why are apes still around?" Is a PRATT, indeed. We still did come from some type of ape.

Without looking, I think God calls some of them "wonderful diseases" -- (meaning so severe, they produce wonderment).

The only one I know by name is called the 'burning ague', which supposedly produced a diminished skull.
We still did come from some type of ape.
I thought we "paralleled" the apes?

What happened to those diseases?

Well, we parallel the modern apes.

God no longer judges us with them like He used to.

Remember, we live in a different dispensation now, and the active Member of the Godhead is now the Holy Ghost.

This is a doctrine we call Ontological Subordination.

Aha, nonononono.....

God refers to a disease called the burning ague. The connection between that and a diminished skull is your own personal ad hocery, because you tried to justify your buying of the "Neanderthal man just had rickets" canard hook line and sinker.

I know you like your ad hoc, but let's not pretend this is what God actually meant in the Bible.

If anything you'd hope it would by showing how utterly asinine quote-mining is. But oh well, the better to lol with.

On the contrary, you are the asinine one. Quotes are the only real form of evidence:

"The only real evidence that any critic may bring before his gaze is the finished poem (quote)"; Allen Tate, theorist, 1932
