The Bible is consistent with historical evidence – humans in their present form only appeared on Earth very recently.
The Bible is NOT intended as a detailed scientific history of the ancient Universe, it is primarily concerned with the history of Mankind as we know it now.
The Bible is not interested in telling the history of any primates (Neanderthals, Cro-Magnon, etc.) that may have existed before humans in their present form were created.
Imagining that ancient ape like creatures or ancient primates had characteristics of present day humans, such as language, writing, and abstract thought, is “scientism”, not true science.
How can Neo-Darwinism explain the profound metaphysical differences between Man and the animal kingdom, such as Man’s rational intellect capable of abstract thought, Man’s ability for speech, Man’s recognition of good vs. evil?
Why would Darwinian “survival of the fittest” principles require a gorilla or chimpanzee to develop a rational intellect capable of abstract thought and develop the ability for speech?
A gorilla’s “survival of the fittest” in the jungle requires strong arms to pull bananas off a tree and fight off lions, a gorilla has no need for a rational intellect capable of abstract thought or the ability for speech.
Why would a gorilla require an intellect capable of creating an advanced civilization?
The Bible does not state the age of the Universe, but it does indicate that humans in their present form (IE “created in the image of God” as per the Book of Genesis) have only existed for about 5800 years.
Man being created “in the image of God” means having Man has the ability to speak, develop languages, write, create civilizations, create technology, have intellectual apprehension, and know good vs evil. None of these capabilities have ever existed in animals or primitive “humans”, and no amount of “Darwinism” can explain their appearance in present day humans.
If mankind in its present form has allegedly existed for hundreds of thousands of years, why has writing, civilization, and technology only existed for about 5400 years?
“Sumer” was an area near the Persian Gulf mentioned in Genesis 10:10 as the “Land of Shinar”.
“The Sumerian civilization first developed writing around 3400 B.C., when they began making markings on clay tablets in a script known as cuneiform. ” https://www.history.com/news/what-is-the-oldest-known-piece-of-literature
