Black Evolution.

[tryptophan]

What points?
The points that Darwin and his contemporaries may have been racist and may have used evolutionary theory to justify their racism?
The entire point, as has been demonstrated time and again in this thread, is moot.
The racism of people has no bearing on evolutionary theory and natural selection.
This "Darwin was a racist" idea has been brought up before on these forums, and was just as thoroughly trounced as it has been this time.

Sorry, I should have read past the first two pages or so.

Hey John
I'd love to here your thoughts on why Darwin had such a major falling out with a man who was both his boss and a close family friend over slavery, if he was such a foaming at the mouth racist. Well?

hairy African apes?

Yuck! *Hairy* apes? That's repulsive. You're right. Evolution is false.

You seem to be saying that evolution theory (cooked up be Nordic Anglo saxon types) has it that only black Africans are descended from those nasty 'hairy chimp-like apes'.

Where do you think evolutionary theory says the Nordic Anglo saxon people come from?

Skin color is merely determined by various levels of melanin.

There are only 2 races:
1. Those who accept Jesus as savior and will continue in eternity
2. Those who don't

Long story short; everyone is decended from a group of black Africans. Evolution isnt racist, its only racist and ignorent people that could see racism in it.

Yes. I realize that. I just want to see what john THINKS evolution says.

Why do Anglo-Saxon evolutionists want to make everyone African or "black" if "we're all the same" in the first place and only Africans evolved from hairy apes in Africa?

Are you saying all people who study or accept evoution are Anglo Saxons? Or that the ones who happen to be Anglo Saxon have a racist attitude?

Either way, the heritage of the scientist has nothing to do with the theory of evolution and what it explains. And, I am not aware that any evolutionary scientist "wants to make" everyone African. All humans evolved from common ancestors which were thought to originate in Africa. All humans.

 

[Humanista]

Since the human fossil record shows no evidence of hairy African apes ever mutating into African people, the Nordic myth that they did is further evidence of Anglo-Saxon social darwinism and not human evolution.

Are there some apes who aren't hairy? Did only the hairy ones evolve?

This is Chewbacca, a wookie, from Kashyk, but Chewbacca lives on Endor. Ladies and gentlemen of the so-called jury, this does not make sense. If Chewbacca is a wookie, then evolution is racist.

Dash it!

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to The Seeker again.

Brilliant application of the Chewbacca Defence. Spellbinding.

My big question to John is not why he thinks that the ToE is racist or whether he has studied any of it. The real question is that from what I read you keep repeating these claims that anglo-saxon this anglo-saxon that. What is your problem with the anglo-saxons?
