...committee of clumsy squabbling angels? Or could there be another explanation?

...science behind them? By science I mean it has evidence-based scientific papers that have successfully completed peer-review. By religious/mythological I mean based on any current religions or previous ones. So, yes or no? Please give your reasons. An example may help.

false or unknowable? Perhaps all of mankind is descended from these early humans? While there, they were able to communicate with a talking cricket, who told them not to open a certain box, lest humanity be plagued with problems ever after. Or maybe this is just an unsupportable claim which...

Can anyone who owns this car give me info? If you own it, how do you like it? What is the cheapest price at which I can buy the car?

If it was mentioned by a talking snake, it must have been the fruit of the sassafrasss tree. Edit: It's a tree fruit. Slices of quince are what the Owl and the Pussycat ate with a runcible spoon, along with mince. It's quince, whose name in Portuguese is mermelo, that was the original basis...
