I am NOT one, but how would we than explain races of man such as those espoused by evolutionists?
or do we hold to JUST Homo Sapiens period for humanity?
How Do you Account for prehistoric Human Races IF NOT Theistic Evolutionist?

Can you please explicate this post more. The question is so broadly painted (and yet ironically ambiguous) that I don't known specifically what pre-historic races you're talking about. Are speaking of homo erectus? homo habilis?

I had a small debate with my wife who grew up a Muslim and is now a Christian. She is very zealous for the things of God being perfect and showing His infinite wisdom in everything, but when I told her if today's man saw Eve in the garden and judged her by their modern idea of beauty. They would run screaming for their lives. :laugh:
She insists Eve looks like women depicted in the movies -
Here you go my friend. I pray this helps you

We may fail to realize the depths and degregation of the human species during the time leading up to the flood. The Bible portrays them as utterly contemptable sinners, and their bodies may have taken on that appearance from genetic incest, brutal lives, etc.
Another issue is that we have unwittingly grasped onto and held as true the evolutionary tale, i.e., that we have somehow "evolved" and are now a higher order of creature than those who came before. I find just the opposite is true. We are now so messed up that most of us would not survive in the world of 500 years ago or without doctors, pills, glasses, braces, surgery, etc. We can't invent our way out of a problem with the economy, much less inventing commerce to begin with. :laugh: -
Do we actually buy into those prehistoric races as being Human, or just primates, or else humans without braeth of God in them, no souls? -

OK, here is an image from that link of neanderthal. Looking at this I do not even see how it's possible that this creature walked upright. The large barrel chest, short legs, arms hanging to its knees. This creature was built to walk on its knuckles. Sorry, but that looks like an extinct or early ape species, not anything remotely close to human.

Squidward, the skeleton of Grandpa Bigfoot?

But I suspect that there is neanderthal ancestry in some modern humans and most likely in people of European descent. -

Answers in Genesis - Apeman and Missing Links
http://www.answersingenesis.org/get-answers#/topic/apemen-missing-links
Just a few of the references I used when my pastor challenged my viewpoint on evolution. It isn't easy to make a 180 degree turn after 50+ years of focus (school, History Channel, etc) on the validity of the theory of evolution vs Genesis, Chapter 1. -
or all they all primates in ancestors to great Apes of today? -
I think Cro magnon is nothing more than the name given to our human species.
There is no way we are even remotely close to other apes nor evolved. We cannot reproduce with apes. If we had evolved then natural selection would have still allowed us to. Natural selection in humans only occured with the difference in features in races, and guess what, we can reproduce with other races.
I do believe that species can change in look and modify based on the species ability to adapt to its surroundings. If you take a mating pair of robins and put them in Vietnam, put another mating pair on Iceland, prevent them from migrating, in a couple thousand years you'll have different looking birds but basically the same bird that would still be able to breed if mixed. -
I believe the answers are in the links I posted. These aren't a read one article and form an opinion. For example, there are, within these sites, explainations for the various fossils that have been found and are claimed to be linked to human development. These range from hoaxes to definitive DNA testing.

DNA has proved we all came from the same mother. Yet with each generation there are differences that is made to each individual's DNA. In each generation we see a different make up of the same DNA. We cannot call it evolution because it's still the same DNA. Just different things in the DNA is turn on or off to create minor differences in appearance and physical stance. It also makes us immune to certain diseases and also makes us more prone to have those same diseases.
DNA has also proved we are not related to Animals because none of there DNA can be traced back to the same mother we all came from. This all by it's self disproves the theory of evolution. Not to mention animals do not have the same amount of chromosomes as humans. No scientist has ever been able to show a change in progress from animal to human though they have made up a supposed chart there is still a missing link
We have science to thank for evolution.
As a result of science they can't prove there theories so they have turned evolution into a religion, and have snubbed other scientist who do not accept evolution. Praise God not all of science is full of bull

One theory of giraffes are to believed to have had a much shorter neck thousands of years ago. If their migratory patterns after the flood had them slowly moving to regions where the trees they ate on had high branches, then it stands to reason that the longer neck giraffes could outcompete the shorter ones for food. The short neck giraffes could not get the proper diet and died off. This slow succession of longer necked giraffes having the ability to pass on its DNA since they could survive and mate.
Another theory on giraffes having longer necks from original short necks comes from their fighting style of using their necks much like baseball bats when competing for mates. Usually the longer neck was able to get the hardest bashes in and win the right to mate and pass on its genes.
Of course, these are just two theories. For all we know they could have always looked that way. Scientists have found fossils of giraffes that had short necks and were much more like a species of deer. Then again, these fossils could be nothing more than some other extinct species.
Dogs are a perfect example of the ability to change the shape and size of any species you want. Humans created virtually every breed of dog to each owner's desire through a progression of breeding in certain traits through multiple generations.
A german shepard and a tea cup poodle can successfully produce offspring proving that it's still the same species. A human, is a human, is a human. A human and a Chimp are two completely different species and no natural selection made it that way. Humans and chimps may have looked different 6,000 years ago than they do now, but a human was still the same species as now just like a chimp was a chimp 6,000 years ago and today. -
Man did not exist pre-Genesis account, for death came when sin entered the world through Adam. The flood was worldwide and as the shifting of the different shelves occured bodies of mankind were buried along with the animals. Some deep in the earths shelves and creating the fossil record.
