The Origin of Race

Post #1

Post by Q »

If one were to assume that evolution were true, what skin color were the original homo sapiens? My somewhat educated guess would be black or pretty dark since evolution says the origin of humans is in Africa and black skin was better equipped for that environment.
-This question just crossed my mind and figured the board might have some good input...(I couldn't find the question already posted)

Since I am of the opinion that the human form and function is god-like, I wouldn't be at all surprised if God takes on the form and appearance of the most beautiful human being on earth you could ever hope to imagine or encounter.
I know her and she is hot too.
What a sweet smile.

Ok, that clears up the confusion created by evolutionists about animal and human mutations, since they cannot identify one.

That is only a theory.

Thanks, since I deserve one more than Freud did.

Observe it yourself, since it seems to be beyond my powers of observation, cognition or comprehension.
Don't worry - with practice you may overcome that difficulty. Give it a go.
Don't worry, I will, since the process of evolution doesn't occur outside of the consciousness of evolutionary psychologists.

She is only your choice of human goddesses, and a mythological figment of your humanist imagination.

That's interesting, because our form, with its bilateral symetry and various ratios of extent are intimitely tied to the size snd mass of

I note you did not respond to me, where I gave your a place where a series of mutations on a single gene made a whole bunch of differences.

Kindly quote the relevent part and show what mutations occurred.

Take a look at the myosin gene mutation.

Rather than my going on a wild goose chase in trying to interpret and understand the meaning of genetic theories regarding myosin gene mutations, why don't you just explain and demonstrate how such mutations account for or could possibly explain the transubstantiation of non-human beings into human beings?

I wouldn't know the difference between a monkey's brain and a human brain if you served either up on a silver platter, nor would I particularly like to look at either, even in a jar of formaldahyde.

I see.

You ask for specific mutations, I give you one, and you will not bother to look at the very evidence you asked for.

I saw no evidence of any mutations on the weblink you provided and now ask you why such genetic theories of human evolution should be misinterpreted or understood as evidence or demonstrations of anything other than what evolutionary geneticists believe in and love to theorize about.

Do you really equate the material on evolutionary websites with the actual observation of human evolution over the course of two million years?

Since your own chosen method for attaining and ascertaining human knowledge is the so-called "scientific method" which is fundamentally premised on the development of hypotheses based on human observation to start with, how can you expect anyone to believe in a so-called natural process which they cannot see for themselves in nature, and for which they have absolutely no substantial evidence or experience of?

Empirical and applied science in modern technology cannot be confused with abstract or purely theoretical science.
