Racial Evolution 101

Chuck Darwin has a hell of a lot of blood on his hands. My advice to you would be to stop the crybaby acts and actually read some of the material in question, and the three links I posted above would be as good a place to start as any.

Would you then say that Marie Curie has blood on her hands because of what happened in Nagasaki, Hiroshima, and the ensuing Cold War? Afterall, without her discovery of radioactive elements . . .Maybe you could answer this question. Do the atrocities committed in the name of evolution make the theory incorrect? Do the atrocities committed by an atomic bomb make atomic theory incorrect? Do you think that the most important thing scientists want is an unsullied god by the name of Darwin? I think you are blowing smoke up our collective arses.

No. Evolution doesn't require horrific consequences to be incorrect; the gross violations of probabilistic laws will suffice.

Probabilistic law violations that only exist in your daydreams.

What I am pointing out is that, unlike the "big bang" theory or the theory of the aether which one might categorize as harmless BS, evolution is not harmless BS. Evolution is the worst of both worlds: it's junk science and it's an ideological doctrine which has had horrific consequences.

Kind of like putting a PhD behind a creationist's name. It gives them power of authority that they should never of had. Evolution is not a theory that is meant to guide human society. As Crashfrog stated earlier, natural selection is a trend not a command. It is the misreading of the theory that has to be corrected, as we sane minded evolutionists here on EvC strive to do with narrow minded finger pointers like yourself. Crusades: caused by a misreading of the Bible and a powerful theocracy. Displacement of Native Americans: caused by greed. Holocaust: directly caused by the writings of one man, Darwin, who neither supported nor commanded the genocide of any human race. Great logic Ted. Perhaps you can find a way to blame Kermit the Frog for causing the sexual abuse of pigs.

The neanderthal is basically a protohuman of some sort; homo erectus is basically an ape. Everything else prior to home erectus are less developed apes.

Neanders and humans lived at the same time yet did not share mitochondrial DNA. If they were as humans there should be no difference in mitochondrial DNA, other than the differences seen within human populations today. They were separate species and did not interbreed, at least according to the DNA recovered so far. How can they be us, and yet not be us? If we are their direct descendants then the differences in mitDNA shouldn't be as numerous as what we find, especially given the fact that humans and neanders were alive at the same time.Also, how do you decide what is an ape and what is a human? What measurements or criteria do you use?
