Oldest Skeleton In New World Discovered

Death Metal Maniac writes "Dubbed Eva de Naharon, or Eve of Naharon, the female skeleton has been dated at 13,600 years old. If that age is accurate, the skeleton along with three others found in underwater caves along the Caribbean coast of the Yucatán Peninsula could provide new clues to how the Americas were first populated. The skeletons' skulls hint that the people may not be of northern Asian descent, which would contradict the dominant theory of New World settlement. 'The shape of the skulls has led us to believe that Eva and the others have more of an affinity with people from South Asia than North Asia,' González explained."

    You mean almost everyone. I'm from Florida and am certainly not a creationist of any sort.

    And, sadly, that would be funny if it weren't also true.

    The leaders of the American religious left have assembled an engine of ignorance with their attempts at subverting science and reason. These are the people who would make us fear status quo as corruption and immorality because they know it will be the downfall of the head of the power structure if Americans were t orealize that secularization has led to a whole host of problems in Post WWII Europe. They allow their followers to believe it is immoral to deviate from the far left agenda or accept anything as a norm as slavishly devout homosexuals and transsexuals and all other forms of sexual deviancy. They teach all sorts of crazy things like man is subject to the state rather than the state subject to man, and a whole host of elitist attitudes such as those in ivory towers know best for everyone else. This false hierarchy gives people an excuse to not look at their life and the consequences of how they live it but rather blame everyone for their own problems and gives them a scapegoat they can always use to pass the buck instead of taking responsibility for themeselves and the problems they create for themselves.These systems that tend to classify people according to supposed inborn status traits are the anachronisms of a true caste society they originated in the 1930's and are meant ot take from others that which they don't want to work for for themselves, and subjugate everyone to their own misguided ideals.
