"But you forget that the founder of your faith believed that Africans were not as fully evolved as Europeans."

My faith? You must be speaking of Darwin. Much has changed regarding the Theory of Evolution since Darwin wrote. In any case, evolution is not a matter of faith with me. It is a matter of the theory being the best fit for the evidence, at least at this point.

Indeed much has changed. The 'facts' are no longer facts, are they? Even from, oh, say, 70 years ago?

The science my father was taught in medical school (taught as fact) in the 1930's is laughable now.

What is it that gives you the confidence that in another 70 years (or less), the things you believe are 'facts' won't be laughed at by those who now have 'new' information?

Science is supposedly based on empirical evidence and study. What empirical evidence do you have to support ANY of the things you believe about evolution? (Answer.....none). You are taking it on faith, based on the deductions of others, who continue to be proven wrong.

I prefer to put my faith in something more consistent.........in Someone who is immutable.

You can put your faith wherever you choose, regardless of how weak and changing the basis of your faith may be. Your Creator has endowed you with the right to reject Him.
