The "Other People" Problem: How Logic and Archaeology Demolish Genesis 4


Good morning. This time, I'd like to address the topic of Adam and Eve - and the "other people" in Genesis - because well, without "other people" being around at the same time, none of that story could make any kind of sense. 

Seemingly pointing out the flaws and plot holes in the entirety of Genesis, starting with the purported creation of the first people - aka Adam and Eve, this argument has always been a contentious one, and unpopular with the apologists, critics of evolution, science (and also common sense).

We Can Do Without Religion


The West has a habit of looking down on anyone else, doesn't it? Its self-appraisal almost always tends towards elitism and the perception that the West is the most advanced and superior in all aspects above others. Of course, might makes right, doesn't it? Historically speaking - for the past 800 years or so, more or less, the countries of Europe combined with the new kid on the block (the USA) have, as "the West" embodied that concept.

Taking that into consideration, I think that fundamental view or belief is what underlies white supremacy, at its very core, as can be seen from resultant ideologies that today we call "right wing". 

The tendency for one group to view itself as superior to others for whatever reason, as if we are all involved in some sort of competition with an invisible goal and invisible prizes.
