I'm really not sensitive to the issue. I've grown up learning both sides of these opinions. I will kindly disagree with you. I believe my ancestors were quite capable of sailing the vast oceans. I believe they were just as competent in navigating the oceans as any of their European counterparts.

I figure God will let us all know when we're all ready to know the answer.

Please note that the "Europeans" made lots of exploratory voyages (meaning some returned to Europe) before there was any colonization. The ones who followed the early explorers rarely came back to the same place as their predecessors, unless you count the whole of North and South America as one place. Hawaii is just to small a target to hit from a couple of thousand miles away.
