Flawed at best. Being that mutation through the ages have never shown to have a positive affect on the organism, but only degratory. Scientists cannot show, at this time, a mutation of genome that has helped any organism, all mutations have had and continue to have disastrous affect on creatures and their viability. As far as long ages, I believe the Bible as written.
Awesome. I believe Darwinism is the delusion spoken of in 2 Thessalonians 2:11. It's a huge con and a great irony. I would say it's the single most influential factor in the turning we see in the world.
What is funny is Darwin stole the theory from another european guy, cannot remember his name, and then put a racist twist about Africans being a lesser advanced race because they didnt split off the ape until a much later date than the european white line. Evolutionary theory is at it's core extremely racist. I believe, through what I have read, that African genealogy stems from Ham, Noah's son, after Noah cursed him for his actions after the flood. That, in my opinion why the African continent has been no better, on average through time, than a continent of war and slavery. Do not get me wrong, there have been major societal advancement thought history in the continent by many peoples, but as a whole on average the continent has, and still does suffer. I have also read, and agree, many theorists who believe that the gods of egypt, Greece, and rome, were little more than ancestor worship with massive exaggeration. Of course if a few generation watched their grandfather out live them to the 4th or 5th generation (this would align with the genealogies and ages of Noah's descendants biblically) they might refer to them as greater beings and or gods.
I have heard of this idea of Ham, and have also considered if the mark put on Cain was his skin color turning black. It says this was done so nobody would kill him for murdering Abel. If you picture it, in the world at the time, if everyone was basically medium brown in complexion then a very dark black person would give them pause. The mark would be instantly known, and even if not understood, abided by out of fear or being perplexed to keep people from messing with Cain. This is not to say that dark skin is inherently evil, or that black people cannot be saved, or are inferior or stupid, or any prejudice, but that the mark just remains. When you read it in Genesis, the mark is not described as anything bad, in fact, but simply a mark to keep Cain from being attacked.
His curse: “When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.” You mentioned the perpetual problems in Africa, and we see it here, and pretty much everywhere in the world.
I guess you can say this only applies to Cain himself, but the bearing of such a mark on a people may have psychological factors that produce similar results as the father's curse. So, the mark doesn't mean necessarily anything materially or spiritually bad, but it is a "something" to human beings on some level, including those who have this "mark."
So, what I'm saying is, the curse is not in the ensuing lineage, but the visible mark may be, since it is actually NOT a part of the curse. And invariably, because it is a mark nonetheless, it carries a psychological load. So, black people can be successful and do well, but only if they have wisdom it seems. And this basically applies to all people, but for them, they simply have very dark skin.
You can see, this day and age, even if this were the case, the world couldn't accept it. If you look it up, pretty much everything I've seen immediately tries to discredit the notion that the mark was skin color, out of hand. I mean, maybe it's not, but the curse and the mark are separate things in how I read it, and there's no way anyone can say it is definitely not the case.
The problem is human culture has no wisdom. I and anyone can look at a black person thinking this theory is true, and still treat them as an equal human, even a brother or sister in Christ, but the world cannot.
