How does the church fathers explain human beings places as the summit of creation?
The church fathers viewed human beings as the summit of creation due to their belief that humans were created in the image and likeness of God, with intellect, free will, and the ability to commune with God.

In the light of the Neanderthals what is the Church's position on man being on earth only 6000 years?
Researchers have dated the oldest Neanderthal fossils to more than 200,000 years ago. But it is not just the Neanderthals that are changing the Church's position. Our own species, Homo sapiens has been dated to around 180,000 years ago, and this has now been confirmed by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis and by analysis of male-only DNA in the Y chromosome (genetic material with no equivalent in the X chromosome). And predecessor hominin fossils have now been discovered, back to more than 6 million years ago. The Catholic Church's evolving stance on these discoveries can be seen by the following: Pope Pius XII stated in his encyclical Humani Generis (1950) that there was no opposition between evolution and the doctrine of the faith and that he considered the doctrine of "evolutionism" a serious hypothesis, worthy of investigation and in-depth study equal to that of the opposing hypothesis; Pope John Paul II, in an address to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences (1996), said that new knowledge has led to the recognition of the theory of evolution as more than a hypothesis; Pope Benedict has refused to endorse "intelligent design" theories, instead backing "theistic evolution" which considers that God created life through evolution with no clash between religion and science.

What religion were the Celts?
Wikipedia: "The Celts had an indigenous polytheisticreligion and culture." "Polytheism is the belief in or worship of multiple deities, such as gods and goddesses." "While the regions under Roman rule adopted Christianity along with the rest of the Roman Empire, unconquered areas of Ireland and Scotland moved from Celtic polytheism to Celtic Christianity in the fifth century AD." "Celtic Christianity, or Insular Christianity (sometimes called the Celtic Church or the British Church or Irish Church) broadly refers to the Early Medieval Christian practice that developed in Britain and Ireland before and during the post-Roman period, when Germanic invasions sharply reduced contact between the broadly Celtic populations of Britons and Irish with Christians on the Continent until their subsequent conversion in the 5th and 6th centuries."
Do catholics believe in dinosaurs and cave men?
This is a pretty touchy issue for most old school catholics. This is because there is very little/no mention of dinosaurs in the bible (Although check out Job, it mentions a scaled land beast with legs like trees, and a massive water beast that belches flames and scare angels and no weapon can break it's hide). They also believe that Adam and Eve were the first people and after them came Cain and Abel and then eventually Noah, Abraham and so on; so it's hard for them to believe in cave men too. Luckily some more liberal open Catholics can believe in the bible AND not ignore scientific evidence.
What is Dr Charles Stanley view on the theory of Adam not being the first human created that there was a race before him?
A:I am unfamiliar with any theory of a race created before Adam and Eve. Dr Charles Stanley of the Southern Baptist Church holds a traditionalist view that Adam and Eve were the first human family. Science and history jointly offer a third position. They say that humans evolved long before the time attributed to Adam and Eve. The first humans did not live 'before' Adam and Eve, because Adam and Eve never really existed.
