Great post.
Always nice to meet a theist who understands the importance of Biology. 
i'll second that. nice post.
Something of importance comes from a canadian mountaintop? That's almost as nonsensical as it coming from Alaska.
Hi Ryft 
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
Thanks for sharing ...and of course evolution is real ... I mean, how much more evidence do religious people need to believe in that?

[snip rest] As evidence builds, theories are refined or replaced. I am not particularly married to the out-of-Africa theory so it would not be too devastating to find out that it is wrong. It has never quite added up right for me anyway so I have always been open to a better theory. Thanks for the link to this.

I don't understand. How does that work with Adam and Eve?
Wait. Was the garden of eden in Canada!??! When does the rib story come into play??  *broken sarcasm filter* good post.

Anyway, since you are new here (joined 3 March 2011) you are probably unaware that I reject young-earth creationism. (I will not get into that discussion here, but simply note it for your sake, so you don't put me in categories I do not belong in.)

[snip rest] I do not think it is impossible that convergent evolution may have happened in the span of human history as well. Why couldn't we have humans in Asia and Africa, evolving separately, but filling the same ecological niche? Obviously, unlike other convergent species, we have covered the globe, so there is no need for more than one human species on Earth any longer. However, that does not mean that it did not start that way. |
