Floyd and Farinata, my dear chaps (apologies to Farinata for my literary deficiency),

: : In "Try taking your hands off your eyes..." (April 26, 1999) Farinata said: "Yes it is. In fact, it's what speciation is all about, according to the sciences. The point at which two similar races can no longer interbreed is when they become separate species; thus, the above is a valid example."

: Yes, well, that's entirely different from saying that races are separate species. Surely you can see that, can't you?

No not really, the mere fact that you admit that races, isolated for a "long enough" period of time, become another species demonstrates its own absurdity. Can you offer any human evidence that this is certainly the case? I don't agree with that.

Moreover, factor in "survival of the fittest" and you get a eugneicism of sorts. Margaret Sanger, the American eugenicist and founder of the modern day Planned Parenthood movement, coined the phrase "more from the fit, less from the unfit". Who did she determine to be "unfit"? That's right, people not of her race.

A bit unusual, wouldn't you agree?


Manuscripts, copies, and books....

: That's how DNA works, and that is what Farinata and I were talking about with so-called "races." Now, does that make sense?

Again, no. A book will always be a book. It won't change into a web page without a designer or programer. Bad analogy for evolution.

Good analogy for the Creator however. Every manuscript copy was produced by an intelligent human being. In fact, the intelligence of the human being is infinitely greater than that of a manuscript. All of the creatures upon this earth have some commonality in component design, so that's simply evidence for a common Creator.


: This article explains that, despite the undisputable fact that we share a common ancestor, neandertals did not evolve into anatomically modern humans, but were a side branch of our family tree that became extinct roughly 35,000 years ago. I hope I've explained this to you sufficiently this time.

Actually some scientists have done some recent work in this area and have shown that not to be the case. See Neandertal Takes a 180 .


: How about an anti-statist antipasti or some Kropotkin-ite crackers with Godwin-ist gorgonzola and a few pints of Bakuninite beer? ;-)

I think we would have a good time together. Cheers.

In His Grace.
