Google is your friend.

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.

The AI summary of this video says .... "Explore how Neanderthals and early humans coexisted for over 200,000 years, challenging previous evolutionary models. New fossil discoveries in the Levant reveal a complex history of interaction and gene flow. This compelling documentary uses DNA and archaeological evidence to paint a vivid picture of their shared lives."

If the scientists cannot even accurately date the fossils, I'm highly skeptical of any other conclusions they concoct up.

Having said that, back in the pre-flood days, humans lived much longer, had much better diets, much better environmental conditions. It's not surprising they were larger.

Side note, it's entirely impossible to use any scientific methods of dating beyond 4000-6000 years. They have absolutely no way of calibrating their instruments and methodology. It's pure speculation.

Although some of their religious debates are silly, the creation science content on you tube chan "Standing For Truth" is excellent.
Just in case you weren't aware.

Thanks. I also find Ron Wyatt's discoveries verifying Biblical history very interesting. https://www.youtube.com/@ronwyattcom

Walter Veith also has good videos on creation vs evolution, amongst other things.
