Morality without a deity.

Btw, hewn is exactly how writing was carved into cuneiform tablets. If you're going to correct someone, it helps to be correct.

Your ignorance is astounding.
You really think ancient people carved into rock tablets?
LOL

Cuneiform or Sumerian cuneiform,[a] one of the earliest systems of writing, was invented by the Sumerians. It is distinguished by its wedge-shaped marks on clay tablets, made by means of a blunt reed for a stylus.

"a blunt reed" was used.
Not hewn!

They did not think humanity could have morality without a deity, which contradicts the hypothesis of the thread starter.

Either you believe the Sumerian gods truly exist or the hypothesis of this thread is justified.

Who said rock, idiot?

https://www.yourdictionary.com/hewn: The definition of hewn is something chiseled or shaped with a tool.

You're even dumber than I thought.

Btw, one's musings--or the way things seem to one--is exactly what "methinks" describes. You're having a rough go at disagreeing with me, but again, I applaud your courage for trying. Many of your idiotic colleagues don't have similar gumption.

Your musings lack any thought that is why I believe "methinks" is inappropriate.
Musings implies a more lackadaisical process.

This is a whopper of a false dichotomy. Even if "I didn't believe in the Sumerian gods", that wouldn't make the hypothesis of this thread justified. The level of thinking on this site is appalling. No wonder you're all atheists. You're not intelligent or noble enough to be Christians.

The Sumerian gods most certainly did exist, though. They were fallen angels, deified humans and corruptions of the true God.

Nope, just asked for transitional fossils at any point along the supposed line of human descent. I did not ask for a complete record.

At any point?
Between what?
I f you have 2 fossils A & B you want the transitional C.
When C is discovered you want the transistionals
between A & C and C & B.
And so it goes on.

What was the last species before modern humans that we have verifiable images of and an ironclad pedigree? Link us to it.

Yes, the powers that be needed slave power.

Just wait till AI and robotics no longer makes human slaves necessary.

Then what will they do with us?

You've heard of Soylent Green?

You do not chisel into soft clay.

Hew is not a word to describe using a reed on a clay tablet!
Synonyms for hew; cut, chop, axe

Tip1: Don't use words you do not understand.
Tip2: Don't pretend to understand archaic technology.

Even when you're selective with which of my posts you interact with (like a dishonest coward), you're still trounced.

Well - you could point out what the false dichotomy is.

But I acknowledge your belief that the Sumerian gods were real.

The end of one species and the beginning of the next is completely arbitrary.
You do understand that? (Yes or no)

"hew" means "fashion"?
Do you like the new hew in men's trousers?
Does that make sense?
No.
Most people know what "hew" means. You did not. Perhaps still, do not.

Regarding interacting with your posts, I believe
I have responded to each. If I have missed one
I will gladly amend that if you can point me in
the right direction. ... Thank you.
