Gen 11:9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.1 King Nebuchadnezzar, To the nations and peoples of every language, who live in all the earth:
May you prosper greatly!
2 It is my pleasure to tell you about the miraculous signs and wonders that the Most High God has performed for me.
3 How great are his signs,
how mighty his wonders!
His kingdom is an eternal kingdom;
his dominion endures from generation to generation.
...
37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And those who walk in pride he is able to humble.
Mitzraim/Egypt, a son of Ham, measured the earth, so the ancient writings go. His kingdom was ancient Egypt, and in all the old maps of the earth, Egypt is the center from which those measurements are taken, as Charles Hapgood's "Maps Of The Ancient Sea Kings" shows is true. The Pyramid is the center of that ancient civilization founded by Mitzraim/Egypt, before the dark ages began, which were sent by God on the world as the direct result of the confounding of the mother tongue at the fall of the tower of Babel, and the subsequent scattering of man over the entire land mass of the globe, after Babel.Jasher Chapter 10 - The Book of Jasher Published by J.H. Parry & Company 1887Chapter 10

And Peleg the son of Eber died in those days, in the forty-eighth year of the life of Abram son of Terah, and all the days of Peleg were two hundred and thirty-nine years.

And when the Lord had scattered the sons of men on account of their sin at the tower, behold they spread forth into many divisions, and all the sons of men were dispersed into the four corners of the earth.
3
And all the families became each according to its language, its land, or its city.
4
And the sons of men built many cities according to their families, in all the places where they went, and throughout the earth where the Lord had scattered them.

And some of them built cities in places from which they were afterward extirpated, and they called these cities after their own names, or the names of their children, or after their particular occurrences.
Any Bible believing Christian can also believe that there is another technological set-back coming, for the final battle of" Armageddon" is fought by men on horses, with chariots, and with weapons of wood and metal which will be gathered and used for fuel in Israel for seven years.The Piri Reis map shows the western coast of Africa, the eastern coast of South America, and the northern coast of Antarctica. The northern coastline of Antarctica is perfectly detailed. The most puzzling however is not so much how Piri Reis managed to draw such an accurate map of the Antarctic region 300 years before it was discovered, but that the map shows the coastline under the ice. Geological evidence confirms that the latest date Queen Maud Land could have been charted in an ice-free state is 4000 BC. World-Mysteries.com
Dan 2:37 Thou, O king, [art] a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. Dan 2:38 And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou [art] this head of gold. Dan 2:39 And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.
Gen 11:9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
The land mass was also gradually divided after Babel, until the scattered tribes of Adam were divided/Peleg by languages and land mass, and their lives were shortened/Yoktan.
All three of these things were done by God so as to keep man cast down from his former height of glory in his darkened heart of rebellion, until the plan and purpose for which the earth was created and man was formed from it, could reach its fulfillment.
We have had dark ages of technological set backs again and again, since the flood, just so that the plan of God will be fulfilled in its entirety, before the wicked are removed form the earth and the millennial kingdom comes on earth, and God's will be done then, on earth as it is in heaven.
Ecc 1:9 The thing that hath been, it [is that] which shall be; and that which is done [is] that which shall be done: and [there is] no new [thing] under the sun.
Ecc 1:10 Is there [any] thing whereof it may be said, See, this [is] new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
Ecc 1:11 [There is] no remembrance of former [things]; neither shall there be [any] remembrance of [things] that are to come with [those] that shall come after.

God nuked Sodom and Gomorrah, and He'll do the weapon of mass destruction on God and his hordes, but Gog and his hordes will be using horses, chariots, and swords and shields.
In the Word, Earth is not a wanderer/planet, not a "wandering star with no light". Earth is fixed in its place, and it was created before the heavens were stretched out [on day 2] between earth's divided waters .''The LORD had said to Abram, Go from your country (erets - earth), your people and your fathers household to the land I will show you.''So do you believe Abraham left our planet?
Yes it is. In the Bible there is only one human being race called Adam, and that is the "old man"; and in the Bible there is only one human being race called "Israel" [Isaiah 49], and Christ is come in the New Man created human being flesh called "Israel" [as Firstborn].For what it's worth, racial superiority isn't an "evolutionist doctrine", so please stop saying that it is. That's false witness.
Then please kindly direct me to an authoritative textbook on evolution in which it is taught that some races are "superior" to others.Yes it is.
How old are you, if I may ask? I am in my 65th year, and this was taught to me in my own 7th grade general science book in KY public school system.Then please kindly direct me to an authoritative textbook on evolution in which it is taught that some races are "superior" to others.
The Influence of Evolution on Nazi Race ProgramsThe Influence of Evolution on Nazi Race Programs
Jerry Bergman
Evolution's influence on Nazism is a highly emotional topic which has been researched and discussed to only a limited extent. Contemporary documents conclusively demonstrate that Nazi governmental policy was highly influenced by evolutionist thought the zeitgeist of both science and educated society of the time.' Their treatment of Jews and other "inferior" groups was largely a result of strong belief in biological evolution as the means to improve humankind. The Nazis first tried to achieve this goal by isolating the "inferior races" to prevent them from further contaminating the "Aryan" gene pool.2 It was widely believed that it was scientifically proven that the Jews and certain other races were genetically inferior. The government was simply trying to apply this science to produce a superior race of humans as part of their goal of a better society. Hitler's writings reveal that he viewed humankind as "animals," to whom principles learned from animal breeding can be applied. As Clark3 concluded:
- Adolf Hitler's mind was captivated by evolutionary teaching - probably since the time he was a boy. Evolutionary ideas - quite undisguised - lie at the basis of all that is worst in Mein Kampf - and in his public speeches. Hitler reasoned… that a higher race would always conquer a lower.

At the same time, the anthropomorphous apes ... will no doubt be exterminated. The break between man and his nearest allies will then be wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilized state, as we may hope, even than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as now between the Negro [sic] or Australian and the gorilla.[49, 3][/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]•[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Despite his hatred of slavery, Darwin's writings reek with all kinds of contempt for "primitive" people.[17][/FONT]

I'm 28. And I can honestly say that, in my 23+ years of education (I'm in the last year of my PhD in palaeontology), I have never been taught that evolution results in some human races being inherently superior to others. Some might be better adapted to their environments than others (as a Caucasian, I wouldn't last very long in the African sun, for example), but it simply does not follow that evolution produces some races that are morally superior to others, as you were taught.How old are you, if I may ask?
I'm sorry to hear that. Though I suspect that racism was quite rampant in Kentucky 65 years ago even (especially?) among those people who rejected evolution.I am in my 65th year, and this was taught to me in my own 7th grade general science book in KY public school system.
Thanks, but with respect, simply telling me that some people used evolution to justify their own racism doesn't actually tell me HOW the theory of evolution necessarily leads to racism. Many Christians have promoted racism, too. For example:You can start here-
Darwin Online: Darwin's Publications
I gave you links that have the statements that Darwin & Co made about that very fact. "Educated" people since Darwin were taught that evolution from apes to man produced different "races", and believed that some were more evolved/superior than others.I'm 28. And I can honestly say that, in my 23+ years of education (I'm in the last year of my PhD in palaeontology), I have never been taught that evolution results in some human races being inherently superior to others.
I think you are confusing "ethnic" wars with "racism". Ethnic groups fight within themselves for mastery [look at the middle east today, and see that is so], but they do not teach the lie of being more evolved than their cousins whom they fight.The point is that people will use all sorts of things (e.g., religion or evolution) to justify their own racism, but if does not follow that evolution necessarily promotes racism any more than does Christianity. Therefore, I would really appreciate if you would stop saying that it does.

YouTube - False Evidence Of Evolution 2 : Ota BengaOta Benga
The man who was put on display in the zoo!
by Jerry Bergman
Summary
One of the most fascinating stories about the effects of evolution on human relations is the story of Ota Benga, a pygmy who was put on display in a zoo as an example of an evolutionarily inferior race. The incident clearly reveals the racism of evolutionary theory and the extent to which the theory gripped the hearts and minds of scientists.
The man who was put on display in a zoo was brought from the Belgian Congo in 1904 by noted African explorer Samuel Verner. The man, a pygmy named Ota Benga (or Bi, which meant friend in his language), was soon presented by Verner to the Bronx Zoo director, William Hornaday.1
The pygmy was born in 1881 in Africa. When put in the zoo, he was 150 centimetres (4 feet 11 inches) tall, about 23 years old, and weighed a mere 47 kilos (103 pounds). Often referred to as a boy, he had been actually married twicehis first wife had been kidnapped by a hostile tribe, and his second had died from a poisonous snake bite.2
He was first displayed at the 1904 St Louis Worlds Fair, and was exhibited with other pygmies as emblematic savages along with other strange people in the anthropology wing. This first stop in America was influenced by what some have called Darwinism, Barnumism, and racism.3
Ota Benga later ended up at the Bronx Zoo, where he was put on display in the monkey house. Although zoo director Hornaday insisted he was merely offering an intriguing exhibit for the publics edification, he apparently saw no difference between a wild beast and the little Black man; for the first time in any American zoo, a human being was displayed in a cage. Benga was given cage-mates to keep him company in his captivitya parrot and an Orangutan named Dohong.4
Persuaded by Darwins theory
If the spectacle of a YEC black supremacist and a YEC white supremacist playing tug-of-war over the words of Holy Scripture weren't so utterly saddening, it would be one of the funniest threads I've ever seen in my time here on CF.com.
Evolutionary doctrine teaches that different "races" evolved, and that some are more evolved [more superior], than others.For what it's worth, modern evolutionary theory holds that humans are a single species -- Homo sapiens -- and that all humans therefore share a common ancestry.
But I gave you links with the words from the books that prove otherwise, from Darwin on.Please stop saying that racism is a doctrine of evolution because it isn't.
You're welcome.Thanks again for the reply, yeshuasavedme, but you simply haven't addressed anything I've said so far. My points are as follows:
1) Yes, once upon a time, some people used to believe that some human races (like Negros) were "less evolved" than others. However, the state of being "less evolved" is nothing more than a value judgment and does not follow from the basic premise of evolution that different lineages adapt to their respective environments through time. Thus, accepting the premise of descent with modification in no way requires one to be racist, and completely does away with your belief that racism is a doctrine of evolution.
2) Many of the founding fathers of modern YECism (e.g., George McCready Price, Henry Morris) were also racist and used the Bible to defend their racism. If you're going to believe that evolution is racist based on the supremacist tendencies of its early thinkers, you are being hypocritical by not also holding YECism to be a racist doctrine based on the the supremacist tendencies of its early thinkers.
3) Modern evolutionary theory actually holds that all races share a common human ancestor. This aligns perfectly with your understanding of "one human being race" descended from Adam and Eve, and completely does away with antiquated thinking about some humans being "more evolved" or "more human" than others. Heck, the only person to subscribe to polygenism on these forums is Research1, and he's a special creationist!
So far, you have avoided addressing these points and have just continued repeating the refrain that "racism is an evolutionist doctrine". This is false witness.
Perhaps you have not really read the father of modern racist evolutionary doctrine, for yourself, but maybe you depend on others to tell you what to think isn't in it?Posted by Phil Ryke
In recognition of the 200th birthday of Charles Darwin, the Kairos Journal recently reminded its readers of the subtitle to the evolutionist's magnum opus, The Origin of the Species. What is the book's subtitle? The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life.
This obviously opens the door for something that contemporary Darwinists try to deny, namely, that evolution as a worldview is an inherently racist theory that opens the moral door for eugenics, euthanasia, and other crimes against humanity.
Here is what Darwin writes in The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex:
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']"With savages, the weak in body or mind are eliminated; and those that survive commonly exhibit a vigorous state of health. We civilised men, on the other hand, do our utmost to check the process of elimination; we build asylums for the imbecile, the maimed, and the sick; we institute poor-laws; and our medical men exert their utmost skill to save the life of every one to the last moment. There is reason to believe that vaccination has preserved thousands, who from a weak constitution would formerly have succumbed to small-pox. Thus the weak members of civilised societies propagate their kind. No one who has attended to the breeding of domestic animals will doubt that this must be highly injurious to the race of man. It is surprising how soon a want of care, or care wrongly directed, leads to the degeneration of a domestic race; but excepting in the case of man himself, hardly any one is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed."[/font]
Yeshuasavedme [Terrie]
So who's the black supremacist?
So far, you have avoided addressing these points and have just continued repeating the refrain that "racism is an evolutionist doctrine". This is false witness.
You're bearing false witness again. Early writings by so-called "social Darwinists" have been refuted by evolutionists. Thoman Huxley did away with Social Darwinism in his book Evolution and Ethics back in 1893. Some of the books on my bookshelf that address Social Darwinism are Strickberger's Evolution, Evolution vs. Creationism, and Darwin: For the Love of Science. Here are some online articles that refute the relationship between evolution and racism, too:No, it is not false witness. I gave links to the writings that teach that. Those writings are not refuted by evolutionists.
This is more false witness. The term "race", as used by Darwin in the title of his book, refers to species, not to human races. The title simply points out that some variations that occur naturally survive in greater numbers and are therefore "favoured" by natural selection (i.e., they are not selected against). Darwin doesn't even refer to human evolution in that book. It's odd that you accuse me of not having read the book when it appears that you have not read it yourself.Darwin wrote a book subtitled "The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life." Perhaps you have not really read the father of modern racist evolutionary doctrine, for yourself, but maybe you depend on others to tell you what to think isn't in it?
This is more false witness. I just explained to you that Hitler's genocide does not follow from the principles of evolution, and that he had to twist the theory of evolution in order to justify his actions (again, it does not follow that if different races are adapted to their respective environments, some races are necessarily "better" than others. That is a value judgment that stands apart from the science of evolution.).Perhaps you haven't read his followers books, nor learned that the doctrines of Darwin's racism spawned the horrors of wicked abuse of fellow human beings by NAZI Germany?
Actually, most fundamentalist Islamists completely reject evolution.Perhaps you don't know that Islam itself has taken off with the doctrines of evolution and made horrid statements about the Jews, as being inferior to their own tribal groups, even though Abraham is the father of the Arabs who are descended from Ishmael, and the father of many of the nations [who have been conquered by Islamic followers] who are also descended from Abraham and Keturah, his third wife?
A) Claiming the biblical high ground while repeatedly breaking the 9th commandment doesn't help your credibility.Also, FYI: I am arguing my position from what is written in the Word of God.
