No it isn't.

There's a lot packed into this claim.

1) What does it mean to be a different species?
2) Considered by whom?
3) What makes them right?

It was just a throwaway joke, but ...

Then use DuckDuckGo or whatever it is you want to use.

... they aren't your friends, either.

I don't dispute that you accurately characterized what some people think.

Okay. Well maybe I don't understand your question and/or you don't undertand my position. This is my position. The scientific belief, that humans interbred with another species, fits an interepretation of the Genesis narrative that I think is at least plausible and possibly the most straight forward reading of it. That's it.

I will try to get back and write up a response when I have time to do it adequately. But I think you're mixing up what are the bare facts and what are just ways of framing and categorizing those facts.

The god that chose the Israelites is not the God that Jesus prayed to. Easy.

Try reading the Old Testament (especially Genesis and Exodus) like a history book, rather than a scriptural book, i.e., question the narrative and read the white parts AND the black parts. Keep in mind that the victors write the history, always.
