quote:
When Captain Cook arrived in Australia some 200 years ago, he encountered a dark-skinned race of nomadic people with a stone age culture. Evolutionists say these Aborigines came to Australia at least 40,000 years ago from unknown origins. The evolutionary view which is taught in schools and promoted in the media is really saying these were a people who hadn't evolved as fast as other types of man. Because of this, most people including many white Christians, regard the Aborigines as primitive. expecially in the sense of being not as good as the Europeans. It is little wonder there is racial discrimination when people's minds are pervaded by such a false view of aboriginal history.
It's obvious someone needs to give this man a copy of Guns, Germs, and Steel. Jared Diamond explains rather well the apparent lack of cultural evolution in 'primitive' peoples. Based in part by the lack of arable land and animals suitable for domestication in Australia. Seems a better explaination, to me, than 'they pissed god off'.

Where the hell did he get this (besides his ass)?!
sarcasm: Surely he isn't confusing technological advancement with evolution?

Merely an [il]logical extension of the [faulty] premise, 'evolution = progress.'

[sarcasm] Gee, it's a lucky thing for those Aborigines that the white people who colonized Australia were Christians who lived before Darwin [/sarcasm]

I haven't heard anything about ol' Hammy in a long time. It's good to know he's still out and about. I think.
He and many of the more rabid creationists make an excellent speculation for paralel evolution. Sometimes, I think it's the only explanition for the intellectually blind.
