As I mentioned in a previous post, I had lost my faith by the time I reached the School senior years. Since my greatest ambition at that time was to become a scientist, I devoted all my free time to reading science books — any science book on which I could lay my hand.
Who has not heard the name of the Neanderthal Man ? He occupies a place of great importance in many Biology textbooks. Whenever they discuss the theory of evolution he is usually there. Picture in the textbooks depict him as a hairy brute not quite human, but rather as a half ape and half man.
Evolution is widely known theory, and even those people who have never studies science have some idea about it. So much so that it is common for speakers on Bible and Science to meet people from commerce or history background who are interested in knowing matters related to evolution and the Christian faith.
