a little addition to my rant about creationism vs. evolution that i posted a few days ago:

something i forgot to mention was that this dude said that it would have been possible for adam and eve to pop out children with 6 different skin tones that represent those apparent on the earth today in ONE generation, and that he has "almost done it himself in three generations".

well first off, guy. you are east indian, and your wife is whitey, so you are already taking pre-existing tones and mixing them to make your many varieties.
and i dont know if youre willing to accept genetic drift, but how often have you seen an african couple pop out some chinese kid?

now i don't know how you became to be a scientist with a Ph. D. in biology, and still think that things that aren't apparent on the earth today explain the past.
that's just dumb.
how much did they pay you?
