40,000 year old figurative painting discovered in Borneo

Surely if your "God" gets one thing so wrong, and is so unable to explain it away ... on top of all the failed predictions of the End of the World ... it raises doubts about what else he is getting wrong and is clueless about? He may be the BKs' god spirit, but can he really be the supreme of all Gods?
Committed BKs don't care ... "don't think, don't ask ... just focus the experience" (don't be a dissident or you'll be ostracised and lose all your investment, just keep in the senior Sisters' good books to ensure your status).
The world's oldest figurative painting, relating to a hunting scene, has been discovered and dated in a Borneo cave. Scientists estimate it is approximately 40,000 years old and are tracking the development of art over 10,000s of years.
According to the Brahma Kumaris, there is no historical record older than 2,500 years and no history at all older than 5,000 years, and neither Borneo nor a non-vegetarian humanity existed at that time.
Who is right? Archaeologists and geochemists at Griffith University in Queensland, Australia or the uneducated Brahma Kumari leaders and their god spirit's utterances?
Evidence provided by the Brahma Kumaris so called World Spiritual University for their "Knowledge" ... zero. "Knowledge" is entirely faith based and experiential within BKism.
Bizarrely, otherwise intelligent, rational and functional Westerners gradually come to accept the Brahma Kumaris' "knowledge" as their basis for life changing decisions, seemingly able to throw out any reason, or compartmentalise various parts of themselves in order to comform to BK values, submit to BK values, and be accept by the uneducated leadership ... who have never been able to address such contradictory evidence to their theories and, even more bizarrely, refuse to confront their god spirit and demand explanations from him.
Instead they act as his apologists and explain away why "God" cannot answer such questions.

Faded and fractured, the reddish-orange image depicts a plump but slender-legged animal, probably a species of wild cattle that still lives on the island, or simply dinner in the eyes of the artist, if one streak of ochre that resembles a spear protruding from its flank is any guide.
Based on dates gleaned from calcite crusts in the Lubang Jeriji Saléh cave and others nearby, Aubert’s team has drawn up a tentative timeline for the progression of art in the region. They believe that rock art, which at first focused on large animal paintings, began between 40,000 and 52,000 years ago and lasted until 20,000 years ago when the second phase began. “At that time, humans start depicting the human world,” said Aubert. Whether the shift was part of the natural evolution of art, or came with the arrival of another wave of humans, no-one knows. The final phase of rock art may have began as recently as 4,000 years ago.
