Working classes are less intelligent, says evolution expert

Posted on 05/22/2008 3:07:07 PM PDT by GourmetDan

WORKING-CLASS students have lower IQs than those from wealthier backgrounds and should not be expected to win places at top universities, an academic has claimed. Bruce Charlton, an evolutionary psychiatrist at Newcastle University, has written a paper asserting the reason why fewer students from poor families are admitted to Oxford or Cambridge is not because of social prejudice, but lack of ability.

He suggests that low numbers of working-class students at elite universities is the "natural outcome" of "substantial" IQ differences between classes.... His claims could trigger an outcry similar to that faced by the Nobel prize-winning geneticist James Watson, who was forced to apologise after claiming that African and Caribbean workers were "demonstrably less able" than white ones.

However, Dr Charlton argues it is precisely the fear of creating controversy that prevents other academics taking the same line.

He said: "That is why such obvious scientific truths have not so far been stated clearly, or have actually been denied.

"(This theory is] accepted among those who know and understand the research."

"No I have not read 'The Doorway Papers'...

If you had, you would have encountered something called, 'The Technologies of the Hamitic People'. That was the direction I was trying to send you as it relates directly to the IQ argument. Now, you can google that, start reading and discuss or you can go off on a tangent.

One can find just about anything on google. Do you believe as I was taught that Hamitic People, Ham and his offspring were the family of 'black' peoples?

"You mention Noah, now why was Noah elected to be the person to take his family into the ark to be saved? Genesis 6:9"

Why it was in the very verse you referenced. "This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations."

What does these words perfect in his generations mean if accurately translated from the Hebrew? Why did God repent that He made man in the flesh and why did He decide to destroy all but Noah and his family?

Do you see it now?

"There had to have been more than just two people initially created to have what DNA demonstrates."

Nope. That's all based on initial estimates of low human mutation rates projected back into unobservable time. Human mutation rates are actually quite high. Almost, if not in, reproductive error-catastrophe.

Let us use common sense... IF man in the flesh was formed/created just a mere 6 thousand years ago there would be NO difference in the appearances of humanity. Mutations could NOT occur quickly enough to have billions of Chinese or else we would have been told that a miracle gene of ethnicity had been placed into Adam and Eve. The Old Testament traces who begot whom right down to the birth of Christ and the Heavenly Father guarded that bloodline very closely.

Genesis 1 says Let US make man in OUR image and it was good... Then a couple of days later there is NO man to till the ground and then the description of the Adam is given. I did not write what Moses penned but DNA gives verification that it is literally NOT possible to have different ethnicities as result of either God cursed genes or the weather turned real hot or cold.

"There are two possibilities of how it is that we have more than one 'race' of peoples on this earth since the flood. Either these peoples were on the ark or that flood did NOT cover this entire earth. IF not one of these two scenarios then what we have is a 'quick' paced form of evolution over the past few thousand years. Nothing in the story of the flood indicates Noah and his son's suddenly changed ethnicity."

Race, as you describe it above, is an evolutionary concept based on outward physical characteristics and assumptions of mutation rates again. In reality there is only one race, the human race. Now, if you want to switch definitions of race and argue from the other side, I understand.

Race or ethnicity is result of the Heavenly Father's handiwork and He said His creation was good. Evolution with their art work alone demonstrated who they projected evolved upward. Now given the never ending bloodshed over whom is superior or lessor seems to me this would have been acknowledged in that instruction book, wherein Christ said I have foretold you all things.

That's one of the problems with believing in evolution. It is absolutely blinding to any other interpretation of reality.

I do not believe in evolution of any form to be causation or reason for the multiples of kinds of peoples to be found upon this earth. God says that all souls belong to Him... and He was not speaking of the flesh bodies that return to dust. Now this IQ business is little different than some of the other man made systems of organizing or grouping peoples for self serving purposes.

"These elistists are soooooooo dumb. Eugenics. Who will clean up after the elitists if all the common folk no longer exist."

The problem is that they really believe what they say and would act on it if they thought they could get away with it.

Someday they'll believe that too and then we're all in trouble.

I'm sorry, but I don't have enough time to correct all of the errors you were taught and have believed. I have tried, but you just ignore what I say and go right on repeating them.

Bye.

All of the genes for all 'races' were present in Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve were not white.

This was a yes or no question? You see the evolutionists have gotten the advantage with their fairy tales and Christians fund them, because of what religionists have done to explain what they do not accept or understand. God has allowed this nation of Christians to be lorded over by an ungodly doctrine.

What ultimately peaked my interest was back in the 80's Reverend Jesse Jackson crying bitterly about institutional racism... then he got on their payout tab and stopped preaching that particular religion. Now he only preaches when there is a potential harvest to pass his self enrichment plate around. Wonder does he have a high IQ???? Do you think he believes in evolution???

The word Adam means to show blood in the face.... rosy cheeks... check out the word in its prime.... Eve was the mother of all living as through her was to come Christ who is the giver of life eternal for all peoples who would believe. Again I did not WRITE the Bible but I am no longer 'afraid' of what it actually says. Truth is said to make one free and out of Christ mouth comes a two edged sword... cuts both ways and spares no one.

Dude, you’re making the Bible say things it doesn’t because you have more faith in the words of men than in the word of God.

You don’t need a second creation of man just because ‘science’ (man) says the mutation rates are too slow for the races to develop. Science isn’t telling you the truth. You don’t need to mangle the word of God.

Are there NOT two different days of creation of man in flesh bodies WRITTEN in Genesis 1 and 2???? I did not have anything to do with what is WRITTEN. Moses penned these words and since he was NOT there in the first person the words could only have been given by Divine inspiration.

It is NOT a matter of a need for a second creation it is what is. Thing of it is that with the 'discovery' of what DNA describes, the discovery agrees completely with what Moses penned. Now consider what else we are told.... Man was in the likeness and image of the Heavenly Father then as is described regarding 'the' Adam a Heavenly surgery is performed and a 'curve' is removed to make woman. So what did Adam look like before surgery???? (I do not know but it is an interesting question to ponder.)

Nope.

The 2 accounts of creation were always understood to be 2 descriptions of the same event until *man* needed to excuse their domination of other races. Then the whole notion of a second creation of inferior peoples began. Now *man* says that DNA won’t allow it. Wrong as well.

Then people started mangling the word of God to make it say things it doesn’t because of what *man* said.

You put more faith in what *man* says than in what the word of God says.

Now who was it that started this supposed always understood to be 2 descriptions of the same event belief? If the same description is repeated then why is it NOT repeated the same? Why after the 7th day of rest did the generations get a notation and yet there was NO man to till the ground? Was there any farmers noted in the first account?

Based upon my limited knowledge of history domination has not been limited to any specific race or ethnicity or even within ethnicities... there are even accounts wherein domination was attempted within immediate families. Race gender and religions get the headlines regarding attempts to dominate in these politically correct religious times.

DNA says what it says it is the code that identifies the flesh physical body and links back to genealogies. The soul/spirit cannot be measure by DNA those characteristics are measured by the acts of the being.

Now your 'twins' link stated that both of these parents were born of white women, yet both of them have received the more dominant genes of their fathers. So at conception one child appeared to have gotten a double does of the father's genes and the other got more likely a triple dose of the mother's genes.

See I do not have an issue with what really took place, and IF what the majority of Christianity claims really happened there is NO way that the Heavenly Father would have allowed another theory to take precedence... Never has and never will.

>Eccl 10:2 - The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.<

NIV? Don’t cut out words of meaning. There should be a “hand” in there, as in “use your main hand”. What do you say about the left and right parties when they underwent a pole shift in early US? or for countries whose parties are its flipside?

It’s demonstrabil not everyone has the same skill or ken—or makeup, as there are many mutants who are normally aborted or operated—so the Constitution’s equality of all men is a lige. (And what about their African 3/5 vote, and women’s and youths’ none vote?)

Wrong, it says nothing about cheeks: http://google.com/groups?q=adam-means-red-dyed.

Eve wasn’t even her Hibiru name, nor was Iv. You should read this as well: http://google.com/groups?q=Autymn+eternal-salvation.

Google is not your friend as the Word Adam used in Genesis has this meaning.

OT:119
‘adam (aw-dam’); to show blood (in the face), i.e. flush or turn rosy:

KJV - be (dyed, made) red (ruddy).
(Biblesoft’s New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright (c) 1994, Biblesoft and International Bible Translators, Inc.)

The word ruddy is applied to David just as he was being anointed King of Israel.

Adam called his wife Eve which is the Strong's 2332 and means the following....
OT:119
‘adam (aw-dam’); to show blood (in the face), i.e. flush or turn rosy:

KJV - be (dyed, made) red (ruddy).
(Biblesoft’s New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright (c) 1994, Biblesoft and International Bible Translators, Inc.)

OT:2332
Chavvah (khav-vaw’); causatively from OT:2331; life-giver; Chavvah (or Eve), the first woman:

KJV - Eve.
(Biblesoft’s New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright (c) 1994, Biblesoft and International Bible Translators, Inc.)

Again Google is NOT your friend.

Google is my friend as it refers to my posts. I already saw the dictionary’s entry for blushing and find the /opinion/ wrong; its use is for dying or rubbing. The Strong’s has another word for blushing but it’s the same meaning as to show shame.

And Eve is still not her name; it’s a weird mutation over Latin (no “k” or “ch” sound) and English. Read carefully next time.

Hey IF google serves your acceptance then you go for it. I won't apologize what that word Adam means from the Hebrew word man. Man from the beginning has found it acceptable to listen to the whisperings of those who have knowledge of the good and evil.

The name of the first woman means mother of the living... which points to Christ as HE is the giver of life. I don't really care what you call her name...

The Hibiru word for [hu]man is -ijsh, nothing to do with blood dam, which shows up a thousand in the books. Whereas adam shows up hundreds and is a nickname for Adam. Kuvah (or Kuwah) doesn’t mean “mother of [all] living”! It means Shew or Shewn, /because/ she was the “mother of all living”. You don’t know anything about names; why else would you make up beliefs, call Krist “Grayst” or “Grayyest”, and believe in fictions and liars?

I am talking about the word 'the' ADAM and what the Strong's demonstrates is the literal meaning of the word. Now there is reason that the word that means to show blood in the face or rosy cheeks got attributed to the ADAM.... I showed you the Strong's and you do have the 'free will' to receive the information or go off on a Google Hibiru tangent...

ijsh is NOT the subject...

The reason EVE means 'mother of all living' is because through her was to come the one who gives life eternal... Genesis 2:15 specifically references Christ... her Seed.
