The Bible does not mention cave men as they are thought of by evolutionary scientists. However, there are references to people who lived in caves found in Genesis 19:30, Judges 6:2, I Samuel 13:6, Job 30:6, Ezekiel 33:27, and Hebrews 11:38. There have undoubtedly been people who lived in caves throughout history, but the modern idea of the "cave man" who grunts and walks around with a club and looks more like an ape than a man is a figment of the evolutionist's mind. There is no evidence that people looked like that. There are no pictures of people who looked like that. The evolutionist simply takes a set of bones (if he has a complete set), and then he draws an "artist's conception" of what he thinks that person looked like. The first man and woman were Adam and Eve, and they were certainly not "cave men". Genesis 4:17 states that Adam's son Cain built a city, so he certainly wasn't a "cave man".

Ancient men went to Heaven the same way that modern men do:by believing what God said. Romans 4:3 states,

"For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.."

People in the Old Testament were looking forward to the promise of a Redeemer Who would come to save their souls. Job, who lived around or shortly after the time of Abraham, wrote,

"For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:".

Jesus Christ is that Redeemer, and today we look back to His death and resurrection, and choose to believe on His sacrifice for our salvation. The following verses from John 3 show this:

John 3:15 :That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.:

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

John 3:18 "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

John 3:36 "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."
