What did Adam and Eve look like?

Genesis 2:10-14 puts the Garden of Eden in the Middle East, somewhere near the north part of the Persian Gulf where the Euphrates and Tigris rivers emerge, which would be near Kuwait. So it can be surmised Adam and Eve probably looked Palestinian.

Seeing as how the Palestinians came from the Philistines, I find that a little hard to take.

I didn't say one word about Neanderthal, did I?

Instead, I showed a picture of Cookii -- not even the same kind (genus) as Neanderthal either.

What gives here?

Only because you can't trace their DNA back that far.

Science is myopic.

Kudos to you, chief! Your elevator goes all the way to the attic!

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, this says a lot.

What's that old saying?

"I heard and I forgot. I saw and I remembered. I did and I understood."

After this thing made the headlines, it reinforced to a "sleeping public" that evolution is alive and well on Planet Earth, and that there are "missing links" in the earth, awaiting discovery.

Then, after the public had been "jolted awake," scientists discovered it was a mistake.

But the damage had been done by giving the public -- us commoners -- a taste of what evolution is.

I'm talking about the physical appearance of people in the Middle East. Jews, Arabs, Turks, Persians etc.

Also I figure they spoke Hebrew or close to it, as it's referred to as the Holy Language.

I also figure considering they had lifespans of 900+ years, they and their immediate descendants were probably physiologically superior to contemporary humans. I picture them as being around 7 feet (2.1 meters) tall.

Except it's not really. The artist based the appearance entirely on already discovered hominids such as Neanderthal.

The only connection between the picture and the tooth was the assumption that it was from an extinct hominid.



That would be impossible as in the Creationist scenario human DNA has been heavily modified by untraceable miraculous events so conventional forensics wouldn't work.

Not helped by all artifacts and writing from the Antediluvian age being modified or destroyed.



It renders discussions about evidence pointless... but many Creationists initially behave as if evidence is their justification for their belief.

The virtue of belief despite all evidence is the essence of creationism.
