In the beginning - according to the bible - was about 50,000 years after Neanderthals roamed parts of Europe - without mentioning the flora and fauna that preceded that period.
So "In the beginning" and the Bible opens up with one of the biggest lies in the history of mankind (which according to the Bible scholars - is only about 8000 years old)
"Bible scholars" - now there's an oxymoron with candles on it.
