The Bible needs no interpretation from me on racism slavery or creation etc and especially not to clarify or provide an exigesis for you.

I will let one of your own do it for me.

The leading evolutionist, Stephen Jay Gould who is an atheist and marxist as well, wrote in his "Ontogeny and Phylogeny", Belknap-Harvard Press, Cambridge, MA, USA, pp. 127–128, 1977:

‘Biological arguments for racism may have been common before 1859, but they increased by orders of magnitude following the acceptance of evolutionary theory.’

Why, look ... fresh from laboring in the ol' quote mine ... someone with another gem, this one a "post hoc ergo propter hoc" fallacy."

Next time you go quote-mining, here's a nice hat for you.

The only people accepting slavery on this thread are creationists. All you are doing is shucking and jiving.

Little more there than, "I refuse to say what I think. It might be inconvenient to my attempts to portray myself as reasonable."

Your post would seem to indicate that justifying slavery is bad. I get that sense from your Gould quote:

The leading evolutionist, Stephen Jay Gould who is an atheist and marxist as well, wrote in his "Ontogeny and Phylogeny", Belknap-Harvard Press, Cambridge, MA, USA, pp. 127–128, 1977:

‘Biological arguments for racism may have been common before 1859, but they increased by orders of magnitude following the acceptance of evolutionary theory.’

At least, I can't imagine the point of including this if justifying slavery is good behavior. I'm sure Gould intended to note it as an undesirable social consequence of evolution, giving slavers something to spin in their favor.

So taxesareforever is misbehaving, right?

‘Biological arguments for racism may have been common before 1859, but they increased by orders of magnitude following the acceptance of evolutionary theory.’

Trying to Google this. The first 50 hits are creationist sites. And Gould wasn't a Marxist. There was some other Gould who was, but not the Harvard biologist. (He was a leftie, but not a marxist.) Still searching for this "quote" ...

You will now apologize for not presenting the full context of the Gould quote which clearly shows that Gould neither supports racism nor believes that the theory of evolution actually supports racism, right?
