Syamsu, you are deluding yourself. Do you believe that racism did not exist before the theory of evolution was formulated?
Racism has been a feature of human culture for thousands of years. All that has changed over time has been the rationale which provides the supposed justification. Previously it has been the intellectual and cultural superiority of the Romans over the barbarians. Or the superiority of the Chinese over their neighbours and barbarian westerners. Or the moral superiority of christians over the infidels. Or the moral superiority of moslems over unbelievers.

Syamsu, is your concept that natural selection acts at the species level? That competition and "fitness" is between species?
I can certainly confirm that your position on natural selection, evolution etc. is not clear to others and I think it disingenuous of you to ascribe avoidance, lying or misconstrual to others who can't follow you.

Syamsu
Where is this post on photosynthesis which explains your meaning of selection and evolution?
And I think you better come to grips with the fact that, if everyone else finds it difficult to understand the message that you are putting across, then the problem may lie with the way you are trying to put it across rather than stooping to insults and aspersions on everyone else's honesty.

Peter B
I DO want to discuss science, not lurid, unsupported speculation like your GUToB.
IIRC, you have previously made assertions about the presence of populations of persons who can synthesise ascorbic acid, but the evidence was never provided. Feel free to start a new thread and provide any corrections you think necessary to my little piece, including how your GUToB means that humans and other closely related primates can't synthesis ascorbic acid. Not enough creatons in the diet?
