It might be better if you asked whether the cosmos originated by natural processes or whether it was made by a supernatural creator.
No complete skeletons have been discovered. With one where a bone was discovered which was identified as a part human, when it was analysed, it turned out to be a bone from a pig. I think there was another one where a jawbone was found, and a whole part human was created out of it, but later found that it was the jawbone of an non human ape. The Pitdown man, celebrated as a great example of a part human ancestor, was later exposed as a total hoax and a fraud. I think there was a skeleton found of what was thought to be a Neanderthal man, but upon closer examination, it more likely appeared to be a normal man with advanced arthritis. In all, there is insufficient evidence that any of these sub-humans actually existed.Just out of interest, how do you interpret the fossils of the australopithecines (Australopithecus afarensis, A. africanus, Paranthropus robustus, A. sediba, etc.) and the pre-sapiens members of the genus Homo (H. habilis, H. erectus, H. ergaster, H. antecessor, H. heidelbergensis, H. neanderthalis, etc.)?
Do you accept that the later species of Australopithecus evolved from the earlier species and that the pre-sapiens species of Homo evolved from the australopithecines, or do you think that all the species of Australopithecus and Homo were created as brand-new adult hominins?
In all, there is insufficient evidence

I think I have already explained what I have learned about the creation by a supernatural creator connected with the universe constructed over billions of years. You can go back over my previous posts where I explained it. You don't have to believe what I say about it. All I am posting is what makes sense to me. Because all our knowledge is incomplete, I may be right or I may be wrong. We all have to do our own research and come to our own conclusions.It might be better if you asked whether the cosmos originated by natural processes or whether it was made by a supernatural creator.
this whole universe was created for the sole purpose of the redemption of mankind and the eradication of evil.
Yes there is. Anthropological evidence shows that Adam and Eve could well have been created at the last ice age. This is shown about the four rivers that flowed out of Eden. Two of them are still flowing - the Tigris and Euphrates, because there is still substantial deposits of ice at their source. But the other two rivers are dry river beds, which show that the initial ice that supplied the water melted many thousands of years ago when the last ice age ended. In actual fact, according to scientists expert in the field, we are 5000 years overdue for a new ice age.There is evidence of modern humans from millions of years ago
Noah's flood must have happened quite a few generations before that,

Most of the complete skeletons have been of normal human beings of different shapes and sizes. The only so called evidence of intermediate stage sub humans have been bone fragments added to theoretical mockups or artist impressions to make it appear that there were intermediate stage sub humans. There have been many Youtube videos that have examined the evidence and the results have shown that any artist impression or mockup is based purely on guesswork. You can go on Youtube and see that evidence for yourself, if you are open and interested enough to see both sides of the Evolution/Creation side of the story.That's... that's all just absolutely and completely wrong.
There have been multiple and many skeletons of earlier humans, going all the way back to Australopithecus, and the ones that you are citing are known hoaxes and frauds that really do nothing to disprove that humans evolved from earlier forms.
So, you're either lying here or are very much just horribly misinformed about evolution. I pray it's the latter.
YouTube videos are only that: YouTube videos. They mean next to nothing when they talk about things like this. Just because someone posts something online does not mean it's factual or accurate. Your claims above are great examples of that.Most of the complete skeletons have been of normal human beings of different shapes and sizes.

I've seen the Creationist side of the debate and it's laughably poor
Because they came unbidden into Middle Earth.Hobbits are unaware of Eru Ilúvatar
It’s a metaphor…
It’s a simple metaphor
Also, Tolkien hated metaphor and allegory,
Tolkien said the hobbits lack imagination
This is relevant in a debate about the Creator
No, it's not. Stop it.
No complete skeletons have been discovered.
