You stated that...

“Creationists DO NOT believe in stasis, as evidenced by the fact that all of them (or at least the Christian ones) believe that the various races of man differentiated from a single pair of individuals over recent time. In fact, you could say that Creationists believe in rapid De-volution, that is the rapid degeneration of the biosphere.”

Considering that Northern European populations have pale skin due to inactivation (de-evolution) of genes for dark skin, and lactose tolerance due to inactivation (de-evolution) of the control element that would lead to inactivation of the lactase gene after infancy - wouldn't the logical conclusion be that Norther European populations are de-evolved Africans? That the more perfect state of humanity designed by God was dark skin and lactose intolerance?

Not that there is anything wrong with that - but what do you think of that consequence of your paradigm whereby every evolutionary change is a change AWAY FROM what was originally designed by God - and thus de-evolutionary?

Do you consider Northern Europeans to be a de-evolved example of the more perfect African state of humanity designed by God?

Why not?

Are you presuming the de-evolution is equivalent to the deterioration of a species, as opposed to merely a loss of some information instead of a gain in it?

Do you presume that loss of information makes for an inferior species as opposed to simply a different one?
