Religion is so yesterday. Reality is so today. Those who lack the capability to deal with the real world revert back to the primitive thinking of iron age sheep herders.
yeshuasavedme,
After you bared your soul and explained to those of us who are ignorant that the earth was not a planet I just couldn't wait to see what you'd come up with next. I have to ask you though, do you actually tell people in your everyday life the same kind of stuff that you're telling us anonymously on the internet? I would be curious to hear what kinds of responses you get.

Give the iron age sheep herders their due. None of us will be here, if not for them

Baloney. Not all of us descended from those sheepherders. Personally, my ancestry is the people who lived in the harsh cold northlands, sailed ships across the seas, then jumped out of their boats, ran up the beaches, and sacked the villages of those helpless sheep herders.

I dunno why I always have a soft corner for you After the topless thread, it's gone softer
But anyway....................... it was a figurative statement. I know the whole world wasn't full of sheepherders. I was merely alluding to the fact that calling ancestral people "iron age sheepherders" in a derogatory way is borderline immature. Posterity must give the past respect. They deserve their due.

I raise my cup of mead in honor of your ancestors.
So, uhmmm, I'm trying to be on my best behavior, but what was the OP again? Beach landing ancestry?
Oh yeah; aging Darwinism. Not "God hath Thus Saved You" stuff.
Well, aside from my own British Isles ancestry, which my dad said was just a bunch of shipwrecked Swedes anyhow, Darwin, bless his ingenious and observant heart, of course only touched on the concept of descent of man from earlier species. Absent the current toolset that any basic science/biologist grad now has easy access to.
Can you imagine what a DNA genome mapping of the Galapagos finches would now reveal? (If they haven't already done it as an absolute proof of Evoluition there...I''ll Google and report back!).
(ed. note: lots and lots of it, all verifying what the good Charles D thought and professed, even though he was saddled with restraint because of the high percentage of illiterate folk of the day)
Near-identical genetic commonalities, plus, given the known rate of common genetic drift, if we see a difference in genotype between two distinctly physically different species, we can estimate the time it took for those changes to have occurred.
All simple stuff for the well read and curious.
Darwin's realizations were ground-breaking in their elegant simplicity and, as it turns out, the simplest, most logical concept is quite likely the correct one. As in this case.
It makes his discoveries and writings all the more amazing and valuable. It's also a lesson to bright young new minds in science to not let yourself be shut down by ranting ideologs, who would sooner roast your hide alive in the public square instead of allowing the truth.
