So parrots have a lingual bone?
And how is evolutionary theory racist?

And we are failing to do even that...

Um, I actually never said that, nor even aluded to the idea that some people are more highly evolved than others. I frankly find that statement abhorent. To think that some monkeys are closer to humans is quite insulting to some simians. Who would want to be associated with a virus that is destroying the planet.
And frankly, you are not descended from an albino african with down's syndrome. Someone like that would die before reaching puberty. You are descended from a group of africans that migrated north, where the skin changed because pigment was not needed as much as other things so you lost the dark pigment in the skin and was able to produce more vitamin d.

Actually the reason we have different skin tones is because of the amount of light we get. In africa they have a large amount of light, and have to have a dark pigment so that they do not get cancer. Unfortunately, this also hampers production of Vitamin D. So in europe, where they have less light, lose pigment and are able to produce more Vitamin D. And we are not albino africans, do you have red eyes and white hair? I dont. And we do not have the same facial structure as africans. and people who have down's syndrome have an extra gene, which causes the disorder. Asians do not have this gene. They just have a similar facial structure.

Yes the doves have black skin, but they also have white feathers and as an added benefit, their skin does not come in contact with UV rays. Birds also have quite a different diet and body arrangement than humans and as a result cannot be compared.
Polar Bears have black skin yes, but this is to absorb the light of the sun for heat. The clear hairs of the bears aids this light absorbtion. Humans could not survive in the north without killing animals to take fur for a coat.
We have different methods of survival than other mammals. Instead of adjusting for the environment, we adjust the environment for ourselves. As for the vitamin D pills, they do not need them, they get vitamin D through their skin and through their diet. I am not a biologist, so I cannot give you the exact information on this, if any ATS members reading this are biologists and can explain this better than I can please do. Until then however, I will research this some more and ask my teacher.
I am sorry, I have not read the bible... yet, so I cannot understand the point of what you are referencing. But if you are going to believe a thousand year old fairy tail, then you might as well believe that the world was created by a dead giant and that a dragons leg holds up the heavens. Frankly I can see no difference. Both make good stories but have little basis in truth.

We could continue this till your kingdom comes but lets not, you wont convince me, and I wont convince you. Lets call it a draw ajust go our own ways. This thread has gone so far off topic its incredible. I believe in evolution, you think some omniscient, omnipotent thing has designed everything. If you want to continue this debate, I suggest you find a trained evolutionary biologist who can answer your questions better than I can.

Sorry Xaos, but i have to agree here with Mikro. I have read numerous articles on Darwinism and the simple fact is evolution doesn't add up, at least darwin's view.
I will look for the links I had, they are a good read.

THAT is some heat.
