Did Homo Erectus build the Tower of Babel?

Hi, Beretta. The point of this argument was that current science places Homo erectus around 1 and 2 million years ago, and Kurt Wise is trying to fit the same process into the 5-6000?-year period since Eden. Actually, it would have to be a much shorter period, because the "Homo erectus form," as Wise puts it, is clearly no longer extant, which means that it went extinct some time ago, probably even before Christ. That would require the evolution of a fully modern human into an ape-faced, small-brained Homo erectus within just a few thousand years.And, just to clarify, here is what Wise is proposing that Adam's and Eve's and Noah's skulls looked like: And here is what we look like today: In short, Noah had a muzzle (prognathism), huge jaw muscles, no nose to speak of and a heavy brow ridge. In fact, he looked suspiciously like a short-faced chimpanzee with a big brain and little canines: Kurt Wise is proposing that we evolved from something that looks as much like a chimpanzee as it does a human.

Hi, AOkid. Dude, it wasn't meant to be an in-depth, scientific analysis: it was just a perspective. Perhaps it was a little careless, but you didn't do much better yourself: Fine. Except that, strangely enough, the chimpanzee wasn't around until after Homo erectus, so there is no evidence of a 250% brain-mass increase. What does that do to your estimates (don't bother answering that: it's rhetorical. I can do the math myself).Also note: why is it such a big deal for the erectus brain to have enlarged so much relative to ours in the same amount of time? You realize that, if just one additional round of cell division occurs in the brain early on, you can double the brain mass, yeah? That could probably be accomplished by a single mutation. That's a 100% increase in a single generation.-----Think of this: even the brainiest Homo erectus had only about 75% of the brain mass of the average Homo sapiens, yet, as far as I can ascertain, H. erectus was not significantly smaller than H. sapiens overall. Where we have a 1:50 ratio of brain to body (mass), the biggest-brained H. erectus has only a 1:67 or 1:70 ratio (most have 1:75 or 1:80). Compare to chimpanzee at 1:125. Note: this is all my own math, and it was done based on numbers found in random papers from Nature and the H. sapiens ratio came from Wikipedia.Do you believe that Homo erectus had the brain power to design and build the Tower of Babel without God's help (surely you believe that God didn't help them)?I personally do not. However, this is based more on archaeological evidence and dating techniques that place Homo erectus in sediments wherein only the simplest types of tools are ever found, than it is on a rigorous investigation of neurological capacity. You, no doubt, do not accept this type of co-occurence evidence as meaningful.
