I think all species would do well to avoid me in general!!! lol
I guess that were they to reveal themselves to us, no doubt it would not take long for our "Superior" intellect, and technological advances to devise a way of unwillingly irradicate them!
:dry:
We irradicate primitive tribes of our own species, so i guess they wouldnt last long :unsure:
I was thinking mostly of the sects of Judeo-Christianity, specifically the area in which animals are determined not to possess souls, and thus are unable to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. This is, of course, assuming that these beings are not accepted as "human," in which case they would fall into the "animal" classification. From a more scientific standpoint, some anthropologists argue that the Flores Hobbit isn't even part of the Homo genus.
The problem would arise when determining what seperates animals from humans. These beings had fire, created tools, were capable of hunting large game and thinking abstractly, they had language and invented simple vehicles (eg bamboo rafts), as well as lived in communities.
Now, the churches would have to decide whether or not these beings had souls, and thus the capability to be saved. It would require a redefining of what "human" is, especially if it's decided that they aren't even Homo. I could see Genesis 1:26 being quoted a lot in the ensuing debate. Likely it would be more of an issue if they were still in open existence, which was more of the thought I had.

My apologies... :blushing:
Yes I read the story , fascinating . But why the headline Hobbit found ? Thats what I got with our rag of a local paper .
She was nicknamed the "Flores Hobbit" by the people who found her.

I always thought that Rat Faced was another species...the Newcastle Hobbit...
Flores because of the area...Hobbit because...well...she's three feet tall. ;) I kind of like how Lucy got her name, though.
