..and why the majority of the civilized world and the wealthiest nations are predominantly white. I myself am Mexican American, and if you are already saying to yourself I'm racist, please stop here. It seems apparent that the major different ethnic groups (white, oriental, arab/muslim, black, latino) developed their distinctive appearances due to the environment in which they were from. Perhaps the skin of black people are so dark because of the beating sun of Africa. The oriental's eyes are shaped the way they are because of the constant sunlight they were exposed to. Back to the original query-- Perhaps white people's skin is so light because they were the first type of human to figure out how to shelter themselves. This would then explain why the majority of intellectuals in the history of the human race are white. Now, this would go against many ideals on equality. So what is wrong with this idea? Where am I going wrong?

Nature wiped out Dinosaurs & the Humans quickly filled in to claim this planet but despite all their "intelligence" they couldn't learn to live in harmony with nature. It seems nature wants to correct this anomaly.

Strange are the ways of nature. If all the P-5 of the security council had leaders like GWB, nature would have taken its revenge long ago.

I recently viewed a documentary about evangelical christians and they teach creation only. As most are homeschooled there is no arguing with parents. What do you think about this?

why do people think that it is okay to unearth people from ages gone by and study the remains and then display them for the public. the remains were of someone who was a loved one, they grieved from the loss of this person and remembered them with love and fondness. Never once imagining that some monster would be examining them in the name of science. I'm not questioning the use of forensics to reach the cause of death in recent cases but the long ago dead who should rest in peace. I'm especially saddened by the ones that were obviously laid to rest by others.
