    Qesem Cave near the central Israel town of Rosh Ha'ayin, with an arrow pointing to a 300,000-year-old hearth recently uncovered

    They weren’t cooking brontosaurus burgers -- but maybe mammoth meat?

    A team of researchers has uncovered the oldest hearth in Israel, a 300,000-year-old fire pit where prehistoric humans roasted ancient meats. Scientists estimate that humans discovered fire over a million years ago, and this find helps determine when our ancestors learned to cultivate it and use it as a tool, said Ruth Shahack-Gross of the Kimmel Center for Archeological Science at the Weizmann Ins ute of Science.

    “These findings help us to fix an important turning point in the development of human culture – that in which humans first began to regularly use fire both for cooking meat and as a focal point – a sort of campfire – for social gatherings,” Shahack-Gross said in a press release.

    “They also tell us something about the impressive levels of social and cognitive development of humans living some 300,000 years ago.”

    The hearth was discovered in the Qesem Cave near the central Israel town of Rosh Ha’ayin, a spot archaeologists have plumbed for nearly 15 years. During recent work there, Shahack-Gross spied a thick deposit of wood ash, hardened and compressed over the centuries into sediment and buried in the center of the cave.

    By taking thin slices of it and studying it under a microscope -- using a technique called infrared spectroscopy -- she and her colleagues Avi Gopher and Ran Barkai of Tel Aviv University determined that bits of bone and soil that had been heated to very high temperatures were mixed in with the ash.

    There were also tiny but clear layers in the ash, which she called conclusive proof that the area had been the site of a large hearth that was used over and over again.

    Around the hearth area they found flint tools that were clearly used for cutting meat -- early knives and forks, in a sense. Flint tools found just a few feet away had a different shape and were clearly designed for other activities.

    Also in and around the area were burnt animal bones -- further evidence for use of the fire pit for cooking meat.

    So the world being 5000-6000 years old isn't a commonly held Christian belief?

    First I ever heard of that being the case.
    A lot of people like to make up up all sorts of silly stuff and then pawn it off as true or beliefs of this sect or that sect.
    Blaming Christians is nothing new. May as well blame the Jews too, and the ancient American Indians while you're at it.

    So you're admitting Christians are a group, possibly one of many groups, with a large population that thinks the world is 5,000-6,000 years old?

    "First I ever heard of that being the case"

    Maybe you should google the Scopes Trials.

    Fortunately, the school where that quiz was given lacked the funding to continue operations.

    Biblical discrepancies? The answer is simple, just pick one:

    1. There are no discrepancies.
    2. So called discrepancies are metaphors.
    3. Those are bad translations of originals long ago lost.
    4. Quit trying to figure them out. Reason is the devil's harlot, as Luther claimed.

    Young Earth creationism*(YEC) is the*religious belief[1]*that the*Universe,*Earthand all*life on Earth*were created by direct acts of the*Abrahamic God*during a relatively short period, between 5,700 and 10,000 years ago.[2]*Its primary adherents are those*Christians*and*Jews[3]*who, using a*literal interpretation*of the*Genesis creation narrative*as a basis, believe that God created the Earth in six 24-hour days.[4][5]
