The Mismeasure of Man really is a good book, and Gould does a much better job of putting genetics, determinism, the history of race, and the misclassification of the human species into layman's terms than I ever could.

Before there was Gould was the Heavenly Father, He is the WORD and He had Moses pen the Genesis of what HE did. That is my foundation and when anybody preaches another 'gospel' according to Paul they are teaching against the WORD.

OK, now I am officially confused.

I don't buy into Gould's basic premise of evolutionary speciation (either through 'punctuated equilibrium' or by classic gradualism). Honestly, I don't buy into the Theory of Evolution to explain speciation, orgins, or any of the such. Like you, the foundation for my beliefs about origins in found in the the truth of Scripture. I do, however, appreciate Gould's candor in admitting to the social failings of evolutionary thought in its application to race in western civilization. He explains that, from an evolutionary science standpoint, race is bunk.

From a Biblical standpoint, race (as we catagorize it) is bunk.

From a purely scientific standpoint, race is bunk. As I said, race is a social construct. What does that have to do with a "'gospel' according to Paul."

You have left me confused.

Humans were mining red ochre in tunnel mines in the Lebombo Mountains 80,000 years ago. That indicates that the earth is older that Young-Earth Creationists want us to believe.
