A few personal thoughts:
1. Discover Magazine is NOT a Christian-operated publication.
Source: (http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/cosmicvariance/2009/06/23/science-and-religion-are-not-compatible/#.UvJflEJdV-g)
2. Researches (experts in their field of study) didn't just find one piece of evidence, but four.
3. Researches readily admitted that the tools must have been crafted by human hands.
4. Popular evolutionary thinking is that Neanderthals were dim-witted, which made this discovery so much more confusing.
5. The editor of this article only gives his readers two options to explain this discovery.
6. This discovery flies in the face of evolutionary hominid teaching.
7. Nothing about this discovery disagrees with Scripture. In fact, the Biblical account is supported by this fantastic discovery. God made Adam and Eve with brilliant minds from the beginning.
8. The Bible shows people of great intellect in the book of Genesis. One such account of a man named Tubal-Cain, who already knew how to forge all kinds of tools out of bronze and iron (Genesis 4:22). Doesn't sound like a dim-witted Neanderthal to me...
Try again, Discover Magazine.
