It occurs to me that if you actually believe Neanderthals were the product of humans crossed with demons, then your leading Christian geneticist, Francis Collins, should be able to sort out the human DNA from the demon DNA? It should be possible to work out the exact DNA of demons. Maybe it should even be possible to subdivide them into different species? Conservative Christians – or is it better to say evangelicals – seem to believe that demons are fallen angels and that there are different orders, or classes, or species, of angels. DNA studies should make it possible to sort this all out? Yes? Angels and demons must possess DNA, otherwise how could they even breed with humans? How else could you claim that the corrupted DNA belongs to demons?
Then of course we have to wonder if God has DNA? It may be that the ancient Jews imagined God as somewhat more anthropomorphic than Christians do today. How else could he fertilize half of Mary’s ovum? Did he make some DNA especially for the immaculate conception and if so what did he base it upon? If he is spirit then this is a problem we need to sort out, but it wasn’t likely a problem for the biblical writers, who simply could not have even formulated such questions.
The gods/angels/demons of old took women as mates. The Bible says so. These beings must have possessed DNA. Mind you, Canaanite myth says that the Tree of Life was responsible for the god’s immortality, so perhaps they were human-like but had the good fortune to have a better, more magical, diet. Angels, are they spirit? Demons, are they spirit. You are postulating that Neanderthals are demon/human hybrids. That means demons have DNA. You’ve opened quite a can of worms with this suggestion, have you not? How are you going to sort it all out?

and to say any could work out what demon dna is, (and I never said demon, I said corrupt BTW) I dont see that as a guaranteed idea, because the top genetic scientist in the world are realizing that DNA is so far more complex than what they even realize, epi-genetics are much more diverse than DNA was previously thought. Again I never said it was "demon" DNA but simply corrupted, it could be demon DNA but that is not literally stated, I honestly think it was more genetic manipulation, hence corrupt DNA.... corrupt from it original intent. Which bulletproof spider goat skin would IMO fall into this category.... Now muc of what you say is not only not written but not provable at any current time, yay or nay... There may be people who claim and believe these things but that in itself does not make them fact or Scriptural doctrine. Hindus believe the earth is on the back of a turtle... we can prove that is not true, and while up until some hundreds of years ago humans thought that world was flat, yet the Scriptures says the earth is a circle. So I think Scripture needs to be seperated from what people say, and that should be studied out and confirmed or denied, if something is not true, its not true. No matter who wants to believe or not want to believe. So im trying to say we cant apply what people think as doctrine.
