A train wreck? That would be you getting your ass kicked with every post. You come on an atheist thread, and fail to disprove the atheists lack of belief. Guess who loses? You and your tired mythological beliefs.

Who Would Win in a Fight: a Modern Human or a Neanderthal?

We beat them at evolution. But what about fisticuffs?

http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_scie...

"A team of archaeologists, paleoanthropologists, and paleoartists has created a more accurate Neanderthal reconstruction, based on a nearly complete skeleton discovered in France more than 100 years ago. The La Ferrassie Neanderthal man was short but stocky. If a modern man came nose-to-nose with a Neanderthal, could he take him in a fight?

Possibly. A Neanderthal would have a clear power advantage over his Homo sapiens opponent. Many of the Neanderthals archaeologists have recovered had Popeye forearms, possibly the result of a life spent stabbing wooly mammoths and straight-tusked elephants to death and dismantling their carcasses. Neanderthals also developed strong trapezius, deltoid, and tricep muscles by dragging 50 pounds of meat 30 miles home to their families. A Neanderthal had a wider pelvis and lower center of gravity than Homo sapiens, which would have made him a powerful grappler. That doesn’t mean, however, that we would be an easy kill for our extinct relative. Homo sapiens probably has a longer reach, on average, than Neanderthals did, and more stamina. Most importantly, we could deploy these advantages to maximum effect using our superior wits. It’s obviously speculative, but a modern man of above-average build would have an excellent chance of defeating a Neanderthal in hand-to-hand combat if he could keep his opponent at arm’s length, survive the initial onslaught, and wear him down.

The image of Neanderthal as a squat, chiseled brute is sometimes overstated. Based on the small number of known specimens, it appears that the males averaged 5 feet 5 inches tall, which is only 2 inches shorter than the average Chinese man today and 4 inches shorter than the average American man. Bone structures in many Neanderthal specimens suggest that their biceps were no larger than those of an average Homo sapiens, and some of the Neanderthals unearthed in the Middle East were as slender as modern humans. Neanderthals also had an intellectual side: They decorated their bodies with sparkly paint and sea shells, and some archaeologists think they even played a primitive flute. There was tremendous variation in the build and ferocity of Neanderthals, as there is among modern humans. The probable result of any interspecies scrap, therefore, would depend on the individual combatants involved.

It would also depend on training. There’s no telling how a reanimated Neanderthal would attack or defend himself in a fight against a Homo sapiens. A trained modern fighter would know exactly where to strike the Neanderthal for maximum damage, giving him a tremendous advantage. On the other hand, the human brain can work against us in combat. Many animals continue to struggle long after they are shot, for example, while humans tend to collapse immediately under the psychological stress of being wounded. When it comes to fighting for our lives, we are sometimes too smart for our own good.

Neanderthals are lightweights compared to some of our other evolutionary neighbors. You would not want to encounter Homo heidelbergensis on a deserted sidewalk. Some specimens were more than 7 feet tall with thick bones. They were also cannibalistic at times, which means they knew how to fight other archaic humans. Their brains were smaller than those of Neanderthal or Homo sapiens—that’s a tactical disadvantage, but they probably fought with an animalistic ferocity. Paranthropus boisei would also have been a terror in combat. Often described as a gorilla head on a human body, the creature had powerful jaws and enormous teeth, as well as well-developed back muscles."

That's good. Since you're not smart enough to convert anyone, and you have zero evidence of a god.
The ace? What game are you playing? Oh, I know!! It's creationist poker!! You have one real card, and imagine four others!!!LOL!!!

but the life span of humans average 72-73 years why? 10 percent of our brain is used why is that? Why can't we use 20 percent, 30 percent or more??? The answers to these questions are found in the handbook for life -The Hold Bible

Prove that god doesn't exist? Grow up. As soon as anyone asks for proof of a negative, It demonstrates a lack of logic and common sense. For example...How about if you prove pink, fluffy, flying, unicorns don't exist?

As for this wonderment of cell reproduction... Why does this amaze you so? It is obviously a product of advanced evolution.

The idea that "we only use 10% of our brain has been debunked a long time ago. Welcome to the 21st century. It may be true that YOU only use 10% of your brain, but everyone else uses 100%.

You claim all humans are born atheist.
Ok that means at one time you had 100% of the human population. The current percentage of the world population is at 2.3%.

That means that 97.7% of your congregation has left your faith!!

WTF is wrong with you guys?
97.7%!!!!!!!
Do you realize how many people that is?

Man your not just losing them at that rate there running from you! LMFAO

Church, without God

“Stan Bradley likes Bible stories, admires Martin Luther and uses expressions such as 'heavens, no.'

The Lithopolis man is president of a local congregation and rarely misses a Sunday service. Occasionally, he goes to his wife's church instead.

For these and other reasons, Bradley considers himself religious.”

He is also an atheist.

continued:

“Like Bradley, some atheists participate in organized religion for its social and psychological benefits.”

continued:

“Churches are great places to find friends, support and youth education, so nonbelievers and believers alike join congregations to fill those needs, he said.

He has spoken to elderly and sick people who can no longer go to church and they say they most miss the feeling of community.

Recent research from Harvard University and the University of Wisconsin backs him up. It found that religious people tend to be happier than nonreligious people, not because of belief but because of the friendships found at church.”

“religious people tend to be happier than nonreligious people”[I have said this all along, and my posts are still on the board to confirm it. Now you hear it straight from the atheist, lol.]

Because of the community.

Sometimes that's better than isolation.

[swordsbane]

KJV: The only places that are spouting that statistic are religious sites. The study itself is from a religious organization on GU campus. It's not from a statistician, it's not a census. Find some corroborating evidence and I may believe you. That's like a Republican PAC saying "We have a study saying that Republicans are the largest political party in the US." Is it true? It may or may not be, but I surely am not going to trust a Republican organization to tell me, and I'm not going to act as if it is just on their say so, so I'm not going to trust a Christian organization telling me that Atheists don't retain their followers (whatever that means)

I DO know (and even Religious groups acknowledge it) that organized religion is on the decline, and has been for about forty years. "No Religion" is the fastest growing demographic.

"“The Great Betrayal: Fraud in Science”

“Evolution is a guess, a speculation, an hypothesis, a theory, a faith. Yes, evolution is a religion as I document in my book, "Evolution: Fact, Fraud or Faith?" And, since it is a faith, it should not be taught in public schools. At least, any thinking, honest person would agree that if it is, then scientific creationism should be taught along with it. After all, we do believe in balance and fairness, don't we? Or do we?

It's interesting that the hypocrites at the ACLU (who helped fund the Scopes Trial) whined in Dayton that only one theory of origins can legally be taught in Tennessee and that's unfair. Well, now they are on the inside, and demand to keep the same monopoly that they argued against. When I asked the ACLU to support my bill in the Indiana House of Representatives that required Indiana schools to teach scientific creation and evolution equally, they refused to support my bill! Surprise, surprise, surprise. I thought various ideas should be presented to students so they could make up their own minds. Could it be that evolutionists are not as sure of their faith as they pretend to be? I think so. They are like a blind man in a dark basement looking for a black cat – that isn't there.

Sorry professors, evolution is NOT a fact. It is a fraud, a fake, a farce and a faith, and taxpayers should demand that the religion of evolution be kept out of public schools unless the truth of scientific creationism is also taught.”"

Here are some interesting facts to consider. If you built a dam across the Grand Canyon a huge lake would fill in behind it covering several states. The two red lines in the picture below represent what is called the snow line. Between those two lines is a ridge that gets about 6900ft - 8500ft above sea level. The river enters the canyon at 2800ft elevation. The river then flows downhill for about 270 miles and comes out the other side at 1800ft elevation.
So, the river comes in at 2800ft elevation and comes out at 1800ft elevation. However, the tops of Grand Canyon are at 6900ft – 8500ft elevation. The top of Grand Canyon is higher than where the river enters the canyon by over 4,000 feet! Rivers do not flow uphill. Therefore, it is physically impossible for the Colorado River to have carved out the Grand Canyon.
http://www.truthingenesis.com/The_Grand_Canyo...

I posted a link that explains that from a geology perspective. It is very simple. Didn't you look at it? I'll give you a hint. If you look at the walls of the canyon at the present highest part, you will see stratification(which also indicates that it took millions of years to form). You will notice that some of the layers are pushed up, This indicates that that part of the canyon was not always at it's present elevation. I will gladly repost the link for you.

Yes, that is what he claimed. Of course he did not have the piece of coal, so his story could not be verified.
Fail.

Science Daily has a pretty good article on the latest thoughts on the Colorado Plateau and hoe the Grand Canyon was formed.

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/04/...

the Wikipedia article is also worth a look:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Canyon

But this video may be more accessible:

http://www.youtube.com/watch...

Flooding appears to have played a powerful role in the formation of the canyon, which occurred even as the contour of the land was in flux due to tectonics and volcanic activity, but those floods were many and in many different locations over several million years, which explains why there is actually a network of interconnected canyons rather than a single one. No single great flood was responsible for its formation, which could not possibly have occurred over the short span of time described in the Bible.

I see the details of the story has changed a bit but not the underlying argument.
