Not all that surprising

Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

Re: Not all that surprising
Until the next hypothesis comes along that points the other way...
Example: Bosgrove Man.
Studied to death in the last 15 years, yet not even his age can be determined to anything closer than somewhere between 530 KYA and 175 KYA! So any other attribution is only on even shakier ground. Lots of room for interpretation and hypothesizing. A.k.a. speculation.
Which of course is a major attraction of paleoanthropology.
