The biogeographic evidence for evolution

Hilarious.
No, it is quite common. I know that it is sad that a Christian does not understand the Bible, but that is what literalism does. An overly literalistic reading of scriptures causes some believers to think that the Earth is Flat or that the myths of Genesis are true. There really is no difference between the two.

Guess the apostles should have asked Judas, or one of the demon-possessed folks He healed what Scripture...reaaaallllly meant eh?

This is an example of why you cannot understand scripture. There were no demons. That was a misunderstanding that the people of that time had. If you cut yourself off from reality it is all but impossible to understand mythology.

When your worldview is that man are animals, and even less, that affects society.

Funny then how countries where the population is educated enough to realise that humans are animals, are far better places to live then the hellholes where the majority believes that humans are some type of specially created super priviliged organism.

In fact, if you were given the choice, you'ld choose such a well-educated secular democracy over theocratic hellholes every day of the week.

Do you not know how poor an argument this is? It amounts to "Some people did something bad, therefore evolution is wrong."

We could do that more than ten times over with Christianity. By your own "logic" Christianity is refuted.

The argument was actually, "Scientists empirically determined some humans are lower than others," a demonstration of how your constant appeal to authority and academia is a castle of winds.

You keep saying this, but it still have nothing to do with Evolution.

People of different races or speak different languages or have different cultures or customs, etc, none of these mean white Europeans are not more evolved or aborigines are less evolved, biologically.

What constituted as “races”, have more to do with cultures and politics, not biological advantages to survive because of changed environments.

Aborigines are Homo sapiens sapiens, just like the Irish, Germans, Jews, Chinese, Africans, etc; they are not of different species, nor of different subspecies.

How many times must we say this, before it dawned on narrow-minded brain of yours?

Your ad hom aside,

I've proven the point that "the majority of academics can be horribly wrong", for example, saying some humans are lower than others. Your trust in them is often shaky ground. Beware.

But they never did. That was your strawman that was refuted a long time ago. Meanwhile you try to use that as an argument against evolution. I am merely showing how poor your reasoning is since by your "logic" Christianity is false.

Drop the bad debating strategies and people will not be pointing out all of the flaws in your strategy. Refuse to acknowledge refutations and continue using strawman arguments and other improper techniques and you will be told how those techniques refute your religious beliefs.

You didn't demonstrate it though. You simply asserted it.
You did a double post here, but I still had to give each a "like". It is so easy to assert false claims and then require others to refute something that never happened. Were there biased scientists? Of course. But on the other hand have there been biased Christians? Are you kidding me? Do we even need to ask?

Well sure! Your point is a good one. Hence the reason it's being avoided. ;)

And? A ,mythical verse from a book of myths only supports my claims.

People are not made ill by demons. How long ago was that refuted?
Mt 8:16 - When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:

Name two countries that are an example of this.

The Christian influence naturally improves life in countries where it was embraced to greater degrees. However, part of the natural cycle of events of history is that nations and peoples that once had the truth eventually reject it and slide into a worse hole than surrounding nations.

Yes, the Bible is often a book of myths since people did not know what caused illnesses back then. Thanks for supporting my claims.
