Please explain why an Ethiopian (which referred to a much larger portion of Africa than it currently does) is reading Jewish literature and traveling to worship at Jerusalem?
This same Ethiopian was converted to Christianity by Philip which shows that there were Christian Africans long before the Atlantic slave trade...

Cats, dogs, roaches, mice...we're a dependency. If it weren't for us our livestock would die, our agricultural environments would disappear. I'm not sure why anyone would think that human beings are somehow -outside- of nature or ecosystems. Primitively we fill the same niche (and provide the same dependencies) that any other primate does...we're just better at it than any of them. So we build skyscrapers and cities..which are, themselves, an ecosystem all their own. Taken from the other end...we're omnivores - garbage collectors. We're also habitat modifiers. That's the vital role we play.

(September 22, 2016 at 9:39 pm)Khemikal Wrote: Nah, you hear that alot, they're important..but mostly for fruiting crops. Corn, wheat, rice (your staple wind blown cereals)...a world without bees wouldn't affect them.
We're the -reason- that european honeybees are everywhere (native bees and bumble/carpener bees pollinate athe same crops and about as effectively as flies do). They didn't fly across those oceans themselves. Yet another way we're instrumental to the ecosystem.
I;m having trouble seeing what sense, if any, we can be seperated or said to not have a role or place in the ecosystem. As another poster already mentioned, it's pretty much impossible by definition for that to be true. I'm guessing that you mean something specific, by "ecosystem"..such that all of the things that we do are decided to be "not the ecosystem"?
Quote:TIME Magazine's cover this week depicts a single bee, its wings flapping in frenzied motion on a stark black background. It forebodingly reads, "A WORLD WITHOUT BEES: THE PRICE WE'LL PAY IF WE DON'T FIGURE OUT WHAT'S KILLING THE HONEYBEE".
Quote:The article illustrates the stakes—what can happen if we lose even more honeybees: The example Walsh singles out is California's $4 billion almond crop, which could fail, and he calls up a powerful demonstration in which a Whole Foods in Rhode Island removed from its produce section all of the foods that exist because of honeybees: 237 out of 453 food items vanished, reports Walsh.
This ones so long that it's hard to provide the full context, however this is the conclusion.

Several weeks ago, I witnessed an epic reading fail on the hugster's part. I busted his chops, and in the inevitable ensuing back and forth, I was asked "What do YOU think it means!?" From that point on, I've really resisted interfacing with the hugster. Everyone else can imagine why. It is really sad.

Indisputable fact...
No, it simply shows that you're capable of the fallacy of ignoratio elenchi. You were claiming that the original Hebrews were black. For evidence you brought out that some of the oldest Jewish communities in Africa were black, and that an Ethiopian came to Jerusalem and read Jewish literature. Neither of those show that the original Hebrews were black, much less indisputably so. You also claimed that "Jews" refers to the sons of Judah. First, the question wasn't whether or not the sons of Judah were mostly blacks, but whether the original Hebrews were black. Even if you had good evidence that the original sons of Judah were black, which you don't, it wouldn't be indisputable evidence that the original Hebrews were black. So that point fails as well.
First off, there were apparently two debates in that thread. One, whether you were right that bees are the single most important organism (in the ecosystem), and whether humans would die without the bee. You claim that bees are the most important because we depend upon them and not the reverse. You've got a good point. It's not indisputable, but I'll give you that one. Did you demonstrate that we would die without the bee? No, you mentioned scurvy, but we both could synthesize vitamin C, and since we all die, the apparent meaning of your phrase "we pretty much die" is that the human species would cease to exist, which you didn't in any sense demonstrate. So that adds an additional debate to the eight we already had, and provides you with a win. Unfortunately, because it adds an additional debate to the list, you gain no ground by winning that one debate. You still need to provide indisputable evidence that you won two additional debates out of those remaining.
