"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.)

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