That doesn't address the question. How far do you feel (or have read) humanity goes?

How far back? I believe in a young earth--created approximately 8-10k years ago.

What is your belief based on? Considering you claim to like Science, I'm sure you're not averse to evidence?

First of all, there can now be no doubt that approximately 200,000 years ago the human race had its origins in Africa. The true "Adam and Eve" were Black. This fact has been widely accepted in the scientific community for some time. But thanks to the Tishkoff team we can now pinpoint the place of origin to Southern Africa - near the current-day South African-Namibian border. From there ancient Africans migrated northeast until they reached roughly what is current-day Ethiopia.

I question that thoery


if they were then that would not explain whites

the fact is they were a medium color race ...which then lightened(whites) and darkened(blacks) accordingly, with some mixes in between

The Bible, for one. It's not a scientific book, but then, it doesn't contradict science either.

After that, do some google searching. 90% of the dating methods point to a young earth--or at least significantly less time than the commonly accepted 4.5 Billion or 14 Billion or whatever.

As far as I know our ancestors were people similar to the San/Bushmen/Khoisan people.

Black Africans in the sense of Bantus etc. are genetically more or less as far from the San as Europeans or Asians are.

And I assume the Bushmen ancestry is also why Asians have typical Asian eyes as the Bushmen themselves have Asian eyes.

the bible even supports billions of years

how does "man" decide what a day in gods time is.....how does "man" DEFINE what a day is to god


""With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.""


man, (especially early man just starting to write), can NOT even FATHOM what a million years is let alone a billion years


yes the bible believes in dinosars

Don't be so sure.



There really is no point in all in debating with Young Earth Creationists.

Forget Science, the Bible does a pretty good job contradicting itself. The problem with your idea of science is a whole other issue, however. You've chosen to have science revolve around your belief system, something you grew up reading and now believe to be the undeniable truth. From there on, it is only a matter of fitting science into the whim.

BTW, not everything that shows up on Google is something you should just take for granted, and more so if your whole intent is to justify your beliefs. Let us take oil reserves, for example. How did that come about?
