I hear that most Africans call evolution the white man's joke.
What are your thoughts on this?
(keep in mind that many of the tribes in Kenya claim to see dinosaurs but on a smaller scale as would have happened after the flood)

Reference?
Most Africans have a very poor education level. Maybe they do not really understand evolution.
If there are dinosaurs in Kenya, how come no one has produced one yet? Or is that just hearsay?
Face it, all the scientific evidence supports and old Earth, with no global flood and species evolving over billions of years.
It does not matter how many people think it is wrong, until you ante up some actual evidence to prove it wrong you are just hiding your head in the sand to avoid reality impacting your religious preconceptions. Get over it.

Well, I have never heard that Africans 'collectively' call anything. However, I do agree that evolution is a joke. By far the majority of those who say they believe in evolution haven't got a clue about what that means. We do have drawing and recorded references to dinosaurs hundreds of years before the first dinosaur was discovered. That alone makes man as old as dinosaurs, or it makes dinosaurs out to be not as old as many think.

Now why do some of you rely on some borderline racist answers to make your point?
You're always asking for evidence in whatever claims put forth by somebody so how come you didn't ask Creationman on where he gets his information from ( besides a couple of you up there)?
He could have made up some stupid **** ( as I strongly suspect) but yall had to go there with even "stupider" ****.
Whatever...
I have been to Africa and never heard them say that....Now CreationMan, would you please back up your statement with some credible sources?

"Most" Africans huh? Then "most" Americans would seem to be in tune with "most" Africans. Luckily for the rest of us - African or American - science proceeds regardless of what "most" people think. You see, on these matters, "most" people haven't a clue.

I guess you'd have to ask someone who is actually African and not a person of colour who was born and lives in the states.

I wonder what the white South Africans think about that.

Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond has a good answer!

Well, I agree, but I believe that tribal Africans view Christianity the same way (and who could blame them).

If I didn't have a doctorate in molecular genetics, with advanced education in fields as diverse as paleontology and biogeography, I "might" feel the same way.

When I look for a scientific viewpoint, I ask a tribal elder
