The earliest homo sapien bones have been found in Ethiopia,
Africa. Those bones are 200,000 years
old. Therefore, we are an African
species. All of us. We all are descendants from shit hole countries. Even if you believe there is some magic that
makes these bones appear to be 200,000 years old when they are really just
10,000 years old or so then you cannot explain that the oldest bones still come
from Africa. We have found none older. Of course those of you who continue to use
books written 4,000 years ago to explain the world in conflict with what we
know from science today will become extinct because to be philosophically pure
you will no doubt give up modern medicine, cell phones, TV’s, automobiles, etc.
Otherwise you are consuming the fruit of
the tree you want to chop down.
Yes, global warming is real.
It is mostly man-made this time.
It is caused and promoted by those in the fossil fuel industry who quite
frankly care more about the money they can make today than the quality of life
of their grandchildren. Besides, if they
did not make billions they could not convince the ignorant among us to vote
into office those who most accelerate our destruction.
About 60,000 years ago as the human population in Africa
grew, some brave humans struck out for other parts. Some followed the southern coastline around
the Indian Sea and ended up in Australia.
Some went north then west and eventually populated North Africa,
Southern Europe, Western Europe, and Northern Europe. Some from the original southern coastline
group broke off and went north into Asia then Eastern Russia before they
crossed a land bridge into Alaska. Those
groups headed south and populated North and South America about 15,000 years
ago, thousands of years after India, Europe, and Asia were populated. 10,000 years ago agriculture emerged and the
human population began to explode. We
did not grow so much when we were hunters.
We did as farmers. Humans have
been here for 200,000 years but mastered control of fire about 125,000 years
ago. For 75,000 years we all ate our
steaks rare.
If you live in America you are an immigrant. Our only native home appears to be
Africa. Your family may have emigrated 15,000
years ago from Asia and we refer to you as Native Americans, but really you are
Asian immigrants. If your family came to
this hemisphere as recently as 1,000 years ago by boat from northern Europe or
by boat from Australia, then you too are an immigrant. If your family came here about 300 years ago
or less from Europe then you are part of the last arrivals here. It is funny now that these new comers want to
keep “immigrants” out, especially those who have been here thousands of years
longer than they have, and especially those from shit hole countries like all of
us migrated from in the first place.
If you migrated here from Europe in the 1600’s and 1700’s
you were not part of the established elite in Europe. You were not royal. You were not landed gentry. You were not wealthy. If you had any of those characteristics you
would not have left Europe. Why would
you? No, if you migrated here you were
likely opposed to some dominant, state-backed religion, you were in trouble
with the law, you were poor, you were a member of some minority or another and
you came here for freedom of opportunity and freedom from oppression by the
powerful in Europe. Of course once your
forefathers arrived and became wealthy you began a systematic rejection of
other immigrants because they were a minority race, poor, believed different
religions, and/or were criminals. What a
hypocritical hoot.
To the original writers of our Constitution Freedom of Religion
also meant freedom from religion. It did
not mean that some majority religion was allowed to discriminate based on their
beliefs grounded in a 4,000 year-old Bronze Age document. It did not mean that some majority religion
could erect religious icons and symbols of their faith, or stamp their logo on
our currency, or require school children to recite religious loyalty oaths in
classrooms. It did not mean that tax
dollars collected from all could be spent on those who believe like the
majority. If you do not think that is
true, put the shoe on the other foot and picture the day when the fastest growing
religion in the world, Muslims, become the majority in America and want to do
the same things Christians want to do now.
You would likely hit the streets.
As more and more men and women of different racial backgrounds
produce children, and as those mixed race children grow up to have children,
the human race will eventually merge into a coffee colored race. It is inevitable and it is happening. This will be really tough on the bigots who
prefer to judge humans on degree of pigment in the skin. Time to abandon prejudice by race. We are all of the same species.
As scientific advances accelerate we will abandon more and
more religious beliefs that conflict with reality. The earth is not flat. The moon is not a source of light. The earth is not the center of the solar
system, much less the universe.
Evolution is a fact, not a theory.
The earth is 4.5 billion years old.
Human beings as we define them have been here about 200,000 years. All matter was created at the Big Bang about
14 billion years ago. Life emerges
everywhere conditions allow. 99% of all
life that ever existed on our planet is now extinct. We are destroying the only planet where we
can currently survive. Less than 15% of
this planet is habitable by human beings.
That’s likely enough to get your had spinning or to get your
head nodding depending on what you want to believe and what is
real.
