My beloved brothers and Sisters:

This ungodly exploitation of man in the name of science is unfortunate. The bible describes man as a “fool” for good reason. Man’s belief in evolution shows you how misguided he is under the guise of intelligence. True wisdom only comes from God. My greatest joy is being a Genesis creationist with a PhD in chemistry from one of America’s best universities. My book, the Genesis molecule 2012, uses over 700 references to proof that we were created from the “dust of the earth”. Science is proven using the Genesis hypothesis and not the traditional way where man’s so-called wisdom is used to prove God. Original man gave birth to two seeds (good and evil)and from himself, the woman was formed. In this way Jesus redeemed all who enters the matrix as a unique soul. Any other version of this is a lie! Stop relying on the foolish intellect of fallen men and seek wisdom from the Word of God through His Holy Spirit. Science, which is partial truth, can lead one to self-righteousness and eternal dealth. The lie of evolution and racial thought is being challenged by very intelligent scientists, who know God.

Peace Brothers and Sisters

Race theories were perhaps inspired by the Great Chain of Being, but the GCoB says nothing about races. It is the “order” of nature “created by God” and tending to follow the six days of creation. Man is on top because that is what the bible says (not that I agree, just historically that is what is). Thus the GCoB goes from minerals to God. There are some images that break down man in to men and women (guess who is closer to god in that one??), but none that depict the races.

I would add that there were some important figures during the period who were not racists, specifically Petrus Camper, who invented the facial angle, and John Hunter, who also claimed to have invented the same angle. That Robert Knox would misuse it does not impugn Camper or Hunter. Camper went so far as to suggest that we are all Black, that in fact, being white may be the “other.”

And where in all this are the lovely views of Buffon?

Jean Vanier writes:
The history of humanity is a history of wars, oppression, slavery, and rejection. Every society in every time has created its own form of exclusion.
There is an endless list of those whom we may exclude; every one of us, we may be sure, is on someone’s list: the homeless, the sick, the dying, the young, the old, the weak, the disable, the immigrant, those with AIDS… FEAR IS AT THE BASIS OF PREJUDICE AND EXCLUSION..
Commentary: we all desire to ‘belong’ to society, but when we are blatantly excluded and become victim to it, we become prey, so try to chose how we belong, as Jean Vanier states ‘belong to humanity’ not groups, for groups reflect ‘like mindedness’. Read more from ‘Becoming Human’ by Jean Vanier.

Our specie can be prejudice, and ignorant…..maybe one day we will realize we are not as important as we would like to think we are…
Some humans still make slaves out of girls and boys, and it doesn’t matter the color…..
