That having been said, I must play "devil's avacado" as it were. Mutations in species spread into different climates is somewhat believable. Black people would evolve to have more melanin in their skin to better deal with the scorching sun, etc etc. Other genetic differences could be explained away by genetic mutations increasing as breeding progressed. You know, if you buy that "evolution" bullshit. :redneck::;;;;
DeathGod makes Slayer look like Britney Spears' sister.
Moving on, my point was simply to illustrate the dangers in ascribing to one train of thought and denying all others, which is why I had my ten assumptions before hand. I made it a point being as seemly ignorant as the creationist sites I have visited during a Anthropology assignment. Not to say the belief is without merit, however reading over dozens of pages of alleged "scientific proof" with nothing much more than anecdotal evidence, certainly makes it seem that a certain groups of people are willing to manipulate studies to fit their agenda, and attribute the funding of evolutionist studies to the "liberal media and hollywood" trying to destroy the word of God, and disregard over a 150 years of empirical data.
Oh, I know dude. In many ways I agree. True, it is foolish, and potentially dangerous, to subscribe to a worldview which does not permit influence from other streams of thoughts; a "meta-narrative" as it were. It's retarded to think of the number of lives that are forfeit in the name of this cause, and most religions, really. That having been said, my particular view on the matter (one which I find to be increasing in popularity)is that The Bible, as well as The Torah, The Quran, and the fucking, I don't know, Bible of Cthulhu, shit... they're all just books to influence the morality of people. This is a good thing! Maybe religion is needed in this way? To stop us from reverting into the beasts which we all know we truly are. They say "Morality is the herd instinct in the individual", and I'm inclined to agree with "them". I could write for hours about the sheer ignorance of many (NOT ALL) religious fanatics, and that's not even touching on their sheer denial of evolution in the face of all the scientific, anthropological and
