I was just thinking earlier, "The earth seems older than they say". I knew I was right.

"We do not believe that our people migrated here from another continent, as the scientists do."

I believe that is true to a certain extent. I believe the Bible when it says people were scattered all over the world from the Tower of Babel. Further, I believe that when the earth was divided in Peleg's time is when a RAPID "continental drift" occurred, brought on by the aftermath of whatever caused the WORLD-WIDE flood.

Then I believe that the eastern part of America eventually experienced waves of people from Europe/etc and that the western part of America eventually had its own waves of people from Asia/Polynesia. (I believe they all came by boat along coastlines and island-to-island.) "Foreign" stock and local stock would have then married and merged the different lines to form distinctive Amerind tribes.

That's why I find all of this so fascinating. It seems to confirm my own beliefs. Of course, you other guys will be adamant in saying it confirms yours. :0)

(I was just expressing my beliefs. I'm not smart enough to debate the issue. So please, let's not hijack blam's posting and turn this into an evolutionist/creationist thread.)

"Indians" are already dynamiting this site to hide it...

Very doubtful. There would be more blue eyed Amerind individuals if this were true.

I had a paradigm crash right there in the woods.

Doncha just hate when that happens? The mental reboot alone could kill ya.

Thanks for the various pings, ff!

She blames the persistence of the Clovis-first theory on these "macho gringo guys" who "just want to believe the first Americans were these big, tough, fur-covered, mammoth-hunting people, not some fishermen over on the coast."

I think there is another agenda at work among the Clovis firsters.

The Clovis artifacts indicate a hunting culture that killed mammoths and giant ground sloths and other mega-fauna that went extinct approximately 10,000 years ago. By making the Clovis people the first humans to reach the Americas they can BLAME them for the extinction. This is the "Evil Human Beings kill off innocent wildlife" approach to history and ecology.

If, however, they were only members of a large population that had been here for millennia and mankind had lived peaceably with the mega-fauna, then humans cannot be blamed for the extinctions merely because it is human nature to extinct any non-domesticated animals in their vicinity. This does not comport with the accepted wisdom that all human interaction with nature is at nature's detriment.

Very interesting article.

Here's an addy to an old (but very interesting) follow-up on the Kennewick man story from National Review:

Thanks. The judge in this case has ruled in favor of the scientists but, the Indians are appealing the ruling.

It's all about being "dated," isn't it? :)
