Everybody knows that cave men lived millions of years ago, right? Or half-man/half-ape, whatever it was. He (it?) sat around on his (its?) haunches, dressed in animal skins, staring into the fire, grunting, and drawing inane pictures on the wall. Occasionally, he (it?) would leave the safety of his (its?) cave to hunt for food, or perhaps bop a female it on the head with his (its?) club and drag her by the hair into his (its?) lair. In this way, he (it?) could produce more its like himself (itself?) until finally, at long last, these its were no longer its and were fully human. And thus no longer living in caves. One of the signs of the development of man is that these cave men lived eons ago and we have "evolved" beyond that stage and build houses, apartments, tipis, homeless shelters--whatever.
No more cave men. Correct?
Judges 6:1-2--"Then the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord. So the Lord delivered them into the hand of Midian for seven years, and the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel. Because of the Midianites, the children of Israel made for themselves the dens, THE CAVES, and the strongholds which are in the mountains..."
I guess these Israelite its living in caves sat around on their haunches, dressed in animal skins, staring into the fire, etc. etc. etc. and forgot that cave men died out a long time ago.
Actually, if you will go to my current events blog (http://www.mklewis929.blogspot.com/), you can read about a modern day cave man. And his name sounds like something an ancient cave man would mumble. And he has about as much brains. My apologies to the ancient cave men.
