It’s called being created in the image of the Creator. We were never not intellectual. As a matter of fact I’ll argue we were far more intellectual then than now. We didn’t evolve from cave men. That’s the biggest lie perpetrated on intellectuals. Look at the evidence. We’ve always been human.


amen. ancient man was far more intelligent than we are today

Just curious as to what y'all are basing this idea on?? Are you saying home erectus was far more intelligent than us?? What I'm reading says that homo erectus started out with a brain about 500 cc in size and eventually grew over the course of a couple million years to around 1000 cc......Did intelligence and cognitive function not increase with brain size growth?? I'm assuming this also revolved around certain parts of the brain like the frontal lobe increasing proportionally in size
