So is this supposed to make me blush???? Should I hang my head in shame that
I and the YECs agree on something???? Such ad hominems are useless. I have
no shame and when the YECs are correct, I will support them in their
correctness. I care too much for truth to worry about what company that
places me in.

So you are a materialistic evolutionist who believes that the soul has
evolved. I suspected as much.

There is no demonstrable anatomically modern human on the continent of
Europe prior to 33,850 years ago.

No. there were Aurignacian tools before the appearance of modern humans.
"If we can accept, as seems likely, that the Aurignacian was
associated with the spread of Cro-Magnons into Europe, then the timing and
direction of their colonization can be reconstructed. "(Stringer and Gamble,
1993, p. 184)
and
"The identity of the makers of the early Aurignacian in SW France is unknown;
there are no well-dated hominid remains of any subspecies clearly associated
with this period."(Straus et al, 1993, p. 13)
and (AMH=modern humans)
"For one thing, despite a century and a quarter of often intensive
archeological and paleontological research, no remains of AMH attributable to
the period between about 40-30 ka bp (let alone earlier) have been found in
Spain or Portugal. Indeed for all of Europe, well-dated remains of AMH are at
best rare until about 30 ka bp. "(Straus et al, 1993, p. 19)
The entire evidence of modern man in Europe is based upon Aurignacian
tools, not bodies. If this is incorrect point me to one single undisputed
homo sapiens in Europe prior to 33,850 B.P. Cite the reference.
