First of all, you're carrying me far afield from where we started. I said
darwin was specifically talking about principles of selection being applied
in genesis, and that is indeed exactly what he was talking about. You had
said he was talking about evolution in the modern sense, but you didn't say
what the modern sense was.
I communicate with scientists regularly. I'm a member of the Human Behavior
and Evolution Society and discuss these points on the hbe-l list, the
evo-psych list (3,000+) scientists, and many other lists. last year on the
h-antisemitism list at michigan state university I offered a theoretical
control for Macdonald's trilogy on Judaism which was astonishingly well
received by Kevin MacDonald, the evolutionary psychologist, himself.
You ignored the quote from Paul Johnson. You ignored the data from the Bell
Curve. Both quotes suggest that the genetic segregation is aimed at selecting
for intelligence and that it is going on today.
In order to breed for a specific trait, you have to segregate your
population. Genetic segregation runs throughout the entire Bible.
Ezra 9:2? What makes 'holy' seed? Nehemiah 13:28? Nehemiah 13:23-25?
If you had taken a good look at the 3 generations from Jacob to Joseph's sons
(begin Genesis 25) you would have seen that the rule is: regardless of
birthright intelligence rises to rule. The allegory is perfect. If you read
it, you can't miss it!
I'm not trying to argue with you. I'm trying to give you a gift. If I seem to
be alone it is because I am in the new paradigm. The argument between
religion and Darwinian evolution is over.
