You are confused.

You are accusing Einstein of being confused. A lot of people have bet against him and lost. The Earth and Sun actually travel in straight lines. The Earth orbiting the Sun is not what's going on, although that simplistic model is sufficient for many purposes. My point is that scientific debate is never over and the models you use to operate will likely all be proven wrong someday.

The reason many people cannot accept natural selection to explain human evolution is because it just doesn't add up. Why did humans evolve so fast compared to other animals and where are the genetic variations on theme? I believe the answer is that humans did not evolve by natural section but by many hundreds of thousands of years of tribal warfare, which is not natural selection at all. Most modern evolutionists stick to the idea of natural selection only. They find the thought of a violent past too repulsive to accept. But they are wrong.

They didn't

where are the genetic variations on theme?

the genetic differences that have accumulated since the human and chimpanzee species diverged from our common ancestor, constituting approximately thirty-five million single-nucleotide changes, five million insertion/deletion events, and various chromosomal rearrangements. We use this catalogue to explore the magnitude and regional variation of mutational forces shaping these two genomes, and the strength of positive and negative selection acting on their genes. In particular, we find that the patterns of evolution in human and chimpanzee protein-coding genes are highly correlated and dominated by the fixation of neutral and slightly deleterious alleles. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=16136131

Yes it is by definition of natural selection

Are you suggesting it is supernatural selection?

Warfare isn't part of natural selection?

Justify your claim or admit it's just BS.

Competition within a species is certainly part of natural selection.

BTW nobody is accusing Einstein of being confused. Just you.
