Jawbones and eyebrow ridges never stop growing..it is likely that "neandrathals" where just humans pre-flood. Humans lived longer then for various reasons and they would have appeard more neandrathal like given their age. It's all about having a Biblical world view when examining science so that it makes sense...someone with a Biblical world view would have already guessed that the brain structure and size would have been similar if not identical to today...

You failed grade school science, didn't you?
Noses and ears, being cartilage, continue to grow. Bone, beyond adulthood, no.
Explain why your grandparents don't look Neanderthaloid, then. Or maybe they do, but that's another ball of wax.

Which means, cook up a bullshit story like this to tell the kids.

Nah, it's just his time of the month.
@Seamus D: if only, man. If only.
Being transsexual, I have spent a lot of time looking at the differences between men and women, particularly in bone structure. Women's skulls usually have practically no brow protrusion at all, much less to the extent that Neanderthals (as you seem incapable of being able to check your spelling) had. You fail at biology, and most of all, you fail at sexuality. Go find another member of your gender to date and get on with your life!
they sqirm, they lie, they make up unreasonable or illogical things JUST to fit facts into their fabulous book.
I mean fabulous in its literal sense
I had a fundie tell me once that wisdom teeth were proof that humans once lived for several centuries and their jaws kept growing the whole time so they would need more teeth eventually.
I asked her why wisdom teeth were genetically programmed to erupt around the age of 16 if that were the case. She never answered.

Yeah, but you didn't predict anything of the sort. Like Hovind, all of your miraculous biblical "predictions" are actually reterodictions, claiming after the fact that you knew it all along.
We were reviewing the facial structure of so called "neandrathals" at my church. Needless to say, the overwhelming conclusion was that these were just a group of regular humans that had arthritis. While the post said that certain bones "never stop growing," that isn't technically true. It was the inflammation in the joint spaces, even in inarticulate joints, that caused the exagerated features.
This is a well documented feature of arthritis and you can ask any biologist or medical person about it. And while this alone doesn't prove God's documented creation, it certainly is mutually exclusive of the evolutionists fairy tale.
Man called Truth: thanks for the links, but most of that is from evolutionists. It's well documented that evolutionists dealt chiefly in wild speculation when they formulate their theories. Like the theory of communism, it sounds good on paper but there isn't really any good evidence to back it up.
As for the thicker bones, we know that after the fall, the cavemen's diet consisted of a large amount of dinosaur meat. This meat was especially high in calcium bihibernate, which of course makes bones to develop great thickness.
Now, even if we could find Adam and Eve's bones, they wouldn't be thin even though they didn't eat meat initially. That is because all the food in the Garden of Eden was "very good." We didn't get this bone thinning type of food until after we ate all the dinosaurs up.
Any other questions?
In other words, "I disagree with the people who created those websites, therefore I refuse to read the websites".
The TOE is based on a lot of sound evidence and careful thought by many people over many years. That's why it's a theory and not a hypothesis. Something doesn't get to be called a theory in science until it's well-supported. I suggest you actually read the links that were posted and all the other information on the TalkOrigins site.
OH, I'VE READ THEM ALL! I KNOW WHAT THEY SAY!
BUT HAVE YOU DONE ANY SERIOUS CONSIDERATION OF ANY OF THE GROUND BREAKING RESEARCH BY DR. KENT HOVIND?
HAVE YOU EVEN HEARD OF HIM? HE AND HIS MINISTRY HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED INTERNATIONALLY FOR HIS WORK IN PROMOTING CREATION SCIENCE. HE HAS REAL RESEARCH, REAL RESULTS, AND PROVES ONCE AND FOR ALL THAT EVOLUTION CAN'T BE TRUE.
THIS SCARES THE GOVERNMENT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T KEEP PUSHING EVOLUTION, WHICH MEANS THEY CAN'T KEEP RAISING TAXES BECAUSE OF GLOBAL WARMING. THEY HAD TO PUT DR. HOVIND IN JAIL ON TRUMPED UP CHARGES JUST TO SHUT HIM UP, BUT HE WON'T BE THERE FOR LONG!!!!!!!!!!
If that last guy was Big Chicken Dinner, please refrain from using crack before posting.
If that was a troll stealing his name, you need to find someone else to parrot, because you're making yourself look even dumber than normally possible.
Oh, I give up.
You evolutionist are simply incapable of understanding any real science. I pray for you, I really do. I just hope Jesus is merciful to the slow and ignorant.
I give you truth and all I get is called a troll.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
