I'm curious if the Creationists in the room simply disregard such statements as being Biblically impossible.

How do you view such findings? That the dating is simply erroneous? That it's a baboon tooth? The Devil planted it there?

Feb. 11, 2008 -- Analysis of a 40,000-year-old tooth found in southern Greece suggests Neanderthals were more mobile than once thought, paleontologists said Friday.

Analysis of the tooth -- part of the first and only Neanderthal remains found in Greece -- showed the ancient human had spent at least part of its life away from the area where it died.

"Neanderthal mobility is highly controversial," said paleoanthropologist Katerina Harvati at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany.

Some experts believe Neanderthals roamed over very limited areas, but others say they must have been more mobile, particularly when hunting, Harvati said.

Until now, experts only had indirect evidence, including stone used in tools, Harvati said. "Our analysis is the first that brings evidence from a Neanderthal fossil itself," she said.

The findings by the Max Planck Institute team were published in the Journal of Archaeological Science.

The tooth was found in a seaside excavation in Greece's southern Peloponnese region in 2002.

I've always wondered the same. What DO creationists think/feel when they read or hear about matter-of-fact statements about fossil digs or other benign references to the age of the earth?

This is a serious question.

Put there to test their faith by an insecure God
