I wonder if Glenn's pre-Adamite hominids had epiphanies? :-)

If science is the work of "the natural man" who "receives not the
things of
the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he
know
them, because they are spiritually discerned" (1Cor 2:14), then how
can it
distinguish in the distant past evidence of the truly spiritual nature
of man,
which is the major diagnostic feature of full humanity?
God bless.
