Your god has been spectacularly successful in getting over only the tiniest sliver of humanity to escape the worst come Judgement Day.

You think that people 2,000 years ago (and let's also remember that the books in the Bible were collated, edited and amended by human beings) have the answers for everything when they had no idea about DNA, atoms, gluons, muons, plate tectonics, blood groups, electricity, what caused lightning, radio signals, the speed of light, radiation, genetic mutation, evolution etc etc. On the other hand, we are expected to believe about people supposedly being turned to salt, water being turned into wine, Eve being created from Adam's rib, a talking donkey, a virgin birth, the existence of Nephilim, Enosh living over 900 years, demons being driven out of Mary Magdalen etc etc etc.

They had no idea about the science that could result in motorised vehicles, aircarft, computerisation, space travel, MRI scans, x-rays, transplants, televison, nuclear power, photography, modern medicine, innoculation, chemotherapy, GPS and a lot else.

They didn't even know the full extent of our own planet as regards all the continents that existed.

It's very difficult to understand how intelligent people in the 21st century can believe in such myths...... but indictrination is an incredible thing.
I agree with you, but Homo Sapiens evolved about 250-300,000 years ago (you missed a few '0's).

And Neanderthals were around from about 450,000 to 40,000 years ago - with a lot of evidence of interbreeding with Homo Sapiens - so even longer before the period of the shamans and mystics whose supposed words Truthpaste loves to 'quote' at us.
