Greetings. I have always accepted the scientific approach to things and find Creationists rather lame. I have not studied the pros and cons of this issue but have a question.

Where do the creationists place the various prehistoric men that we have found fossil remains?

Do they totally dismiss them or send them to Nod? Just how do they account for them?

They don't for the most part. Just deny that they exist. Those that they do admit exist they lie about. (Peking man for example. see talkorigins.org for more information)

They classify them as either ape or human and often can't agree which.

That's right - they have no other choice, since they deny "macroevolution." They are forced by religious dogma to classify each example as either "man," or "ape." At the same time they insist on referring to themselves as "scientists." Funny, eh?
