New Species of Homo Discovered: Homo naledi

If you could apply your native skepticism to your own beliefs, you would have a remarkable mind.

Didn't that circle make you dizzy? Yes, you're right, I am permanently skeptical; you are, too, about some things.Vigilant skepticism is hard to achieve and even harder to maintain--the human mind yearns to relax into belief to relieve the existential tension of not knowing. But once that's done, there is no path to any knowledge at all.The notion of absolute TRVTH is dangerous. People kill and die for that kind of belief. My skepticism tells me that if you need to kill or die for your idea, you need a better idea. It is certainty that most endangers us, and doubt that gets us home.

I chose "native skepticism" with care but perhaps too little explanation.Faith's blanket denial of anything she finds disagreeable differs from the more critical turn of mind she admits she once had: the former, brain worms; the latter, her native skepticism.You may be right. There may be no turning back without breakage.

That should cover it, I guess.So God created "wildly different versions" of human beings before the Flood, narrowed it down to a few individuals of one specific variation with the Flood, then post-Flood conditions created "rapid phenotypic variation" which had time to develop extensive phenotypic variations that would flourish, disappear and fossilize. All of this in 6000 years.Am I with you so far?Edited by Omnivorous, : clarity
