When you investigate ESP, you find that there are many (not a large percentage) scientists who have done experiments that seem to prove that some forms of ESP exists. Perhaps the lack of finding proof for evolution is really the beginning of accepting devolution. Neanderthals were simply advanced in such a way that they had ESP, and didn't have any need for language.

It's always funny when you use examples like those because Neanderthals (UK: /niˈændərˌtɑːl/, also US: /neɪ-, -ˈɑːn-, -ˌtɔːl, -ˌθɔːl/),[3][4] more rarely known as Neandertals,[a] were archaic humans that became extinct about 40,000 years ago.
You believe the earth and the universe are 6 to 10k years old. You don't believe that anymore?
Except for the FACT that distant past dating is like evolution... not proven to exist as stated. About prehistory dating, nobody comes out and says, "We know these dates for a fact." In fact, they say that they don't really know when they use the same kinds of limiting words and sentence structures as they do for evolution.
Neanderthals were simply an early form of human... early in the 6,000 year period of universe existence. What does the time period of Neanderthals have to do with evolution really being devolution? We aren't advancing. We are declining.
An early form of human, you saying they... evolved?
