IT'S BACK TO THE WOODSHED FOR MY SON, PT. 2

Ralph, as I sat here at my desk contemplating how I was going to respond to your last installment of our on-going debate, I received an email from the “National Black Education Agenda” entitled

“An Open Letter To President Barack Obama And Secretary Of Education Arne Duncan”

In this letter, they were seeking my support in helping to call attention to our leaders for the need to have a national education agenda, which would emphasize the advancement of academic and cultural excellence for the people of African ancestry. Of course, I’m willing to assist with any cause that is trying to help our people overcome the centuries of mis-education we as black people have received in this nation, and around the world. But, as I continued to read this letter, I began to wonder if these very distinguished individuals really grasped the depths to which, not only we, but also all people have been falsely educated. This, of course, made me think about our discussion, and how what we are really doing is attempting to bring into question, in one form or another, all the things we have been educated to take for granted. Looking at our debate from this perspective; I began to see that by the fact that you are a product of the college education this nation has to offer and me, never attending college, but being self-taught: This debate should be viewed by these highly educated individuals, so they can be made certain of what it is they are asking for from this nation’s leaders and its education system. In this way, I feel, that I will be making my contribution to this cause, although, I’m not certain whether my contribution will be welcomed or not.

As you are aware, initially it was my intention to deal with each of the points of your last installment in the order you presented them, but now since I’ve decided to offer this response to your arguments to now help assist with this more pressing issue: I’ve decided – to put it in the modern vernacular – to go straight for the jugular! This way I can make a point about the education we have received at the same time I’m responding to you. I’m now going to by pass the first few points of your argument, so I can give an example that would best illustrate exactly what type of education that we as black people should be seeking for our people but. Although, I’m not sure my suggestion will be welcomed, I’m going to send this debate to the email address they have provided anyway.

Now Ralph, lets get into it:

“The fact is that human's survival gift on this planet is our mind. We developed bigger brains than our primate counterparts (which by the way, 98 to 99% of your DNA structure is exactly the same as a gorilla) and with that bigger brain, mankind has always tried to answer the big question, "How did we get here?"

So, let me see if I understand you correctly? You just said that because mankind has a larger brain then the primates; he is more intelligent? And with this bigger brain mankind was able to conceive thought, ask questions, and then formulate a concept of a higher existence: That is what you said, right? I’m not putting words in your mouth – am I?
Yes the human brain is larger then that of the ape, but the bottlenose dolphin’s brain is twenty five percent larger then that of a human. The elephant’s brain is larger still, and the brain of a sperm whale is the largest known of any modern or extinct animal. So, if I were to follow your line of reasoning: The bottlenose dolphin’s brain is more intelligent than that of humans. The elephant’s brain is even larger, so it should be even more intelligent, and the sperm whale, by comparison, should be the smartest creature living on the planet. Yet, the dolphin is not smart enough not to become trapped in the nets of fishermen, and after repeatedly being trapped in these nets, they still have not been able to use their larger brain to figure out how to avoid their own death. Today elephants are being hunted to near extinction for their ivory tusk. But, with their larger brains they have not been able to conceive an idea first; then draw up plans that would design a weapon they could construct to use to defend themselves against the humans that are killing them. The animal with the largest brain on the planet can’t prevent its extinction either. The sperm whale has been hunted so near the point of extinction that in recent years this giant creature’s size has diminished. The reason being that the largest of these whales, with the biggest brains on the planet, has already succumbed to the harpoon of the whalers.

Not only haven’t these animals with their larger brains been unable to defend themselves from mankind with his much smaller brain; but nor can they construct a city, design and build a car, a personal computer, or send one of their species to the moon and back. So, it should be obvious that what you just stated about the size of the human brain, as being responsible for mankind’s “human survival gift” is just another one of the ridiculous statements put forth by people who either knowingly or unknowingly, chooses to deny the facts just so the so-called theory of evolution can appear to have merit. It doesn’t matter how preposterous the claims of the evolutionist becomes; there is always someone somewhere on this earth who are gullible enough to embrace them. To make this claim that the brain of humans once developed from the brain of primates is ludicrous. The fact is; there is a vast difference between the human brain and the brain of the animal kingdom. And this is best illustrated using your examples you just put forth in your argument. Maybe you don’t find it offensive to be compared to a gorilla and told that you have the brain of a primate, but I personally find that very offensive, and I’m going to demonstrate to you why if you would use just the slightest amount of common sense; you would find it offensive also!

Within minutes of its birth and certainly within hours of its birth, the baby chimpanzee (primate, animal kingdom) is able to understand and perform all the necessary basic functions for its survival. The baby chimpanzee on its own ability, within minutes of its birth, is able to lift its head, use it arms and legs to grasp hold onto it mother, instinctively knows how and where to find its food source, and within hours of its birth; is swinging through the trees by holding tightly onto its mother. This, however, is not unique to primates. Out on the plains of the Serengeti where herds of antelope and zebras roam, and columns of wildebeest stretching as far as the eyes can see; and are, all the while, under the watchful eyes of the local prides of lions: Each season, these different types of animals bare their live young, who within minutes of their birth, wobble to their feet and instinctively know how and where to locate their first meal from their mother, and, once again, within hours (or days) of their birth they are able to run with the heard or walk among the pride. On farmlands all around the world: baby calves, colts, and sheep are born each year where the very same scenario is played out. Their young, within minutes of their birth, are on their feet and tasting their first meal of their mother’s milk. In the oceans of the world where mammals such as the dolphins and whales give birth to live young and they, too, instinctively understand that they must immediately reach the surface of the water so they can open their blowhole and receive their first intake of life saving air. Within hours, they have instinctively understood how and where to find the source of their mother’s milk and are now able to swim with the pod and mimic every maneuver of their mother.

There is one, and only one, species of mammals, however, living on this planet that gives birth to a young that is completely defenseless. The human baby at birth cannot even so much as raise its own head. Other than the ability to perform an involuntary sucking motion with its mouth: The human baby is unable to consciously make any useful life functioning motion (it can’t grasp on to its mother, it can’t use it arms and legs to perform any task to sustain its life), nor does it know how or where to find it first life saving meal, and without assistance from its mother; the human baby would lay crying until it starved to death. It will take between 12 to 18 months (some a little sooner) before the average human baby learns to walk. At birth, the human baby is completely defenseless, and totally dependent on its mother. So, lets see; a chimpanzee’s (primate, animal kingdom) baby is walking within five to six months of its birth, and a human baby will take about 12 months to learn to do the same thing – hmm! Now, son, the question that begs to be asked of you and the evolutionist is – at what stage of the progression of evolution that mankind made from the apes that he reverted backwards. Instead of retaining this extremely advantageous benefit of the animals giving birth to young who already have all the necessary functions for survival at birth: Mankind progressed on the evolutionary scale to giving birth to young who are completely defenseless at birth! Somehow, adaptation reverted and became – to coin a new phrase, “Subtractdaptation!” Why is that Ralph? You have a big brain – use it! Does that really make sense? When you think about it, and if you’re being honest with yourself, isn’t this very notion of man coming from animals, itself, utterly ridiculous?

If there were still today, as there were until fairly recently, a tribe of people living deep down in the Amazon forest that had never been exposed to civilization, and somehow a bicycle was placed among them. They wouldn’t have any idea how the bicycle got there; it would just one day be there among them. After a few years, all of a sudden, the bicycle would mysteriously be removed, and in its place would be a motorcycle. These people would immediately see that something is different about what they still perceive to be the bicycle. They would notice that the motorcycle has two wheels just like the bicycle. It has handlebars, a seat, and a chain just like the bicycle. They would see that, basically the motorcycle has the same parts and looks very similar to the bicycle: So, what if these people, because of their ignorance, mistakenly assumed that the bicycle had somehow became the motorcycle they now see before them. Hmm – I wonder, would we, in the civilized world, rush to label these people the most intelligent people on the planet, or would we do everything within our power to restrain ourselves from laughing at their ignorance? Would we want these people teaching our children? No we wouldn’t! Because, we would understand that the bicycle was designed by an intelligent mind to serve one purpose, and the motorcycle was also designed by an intelligent mind to serve another purpose. Although, they may appear to be similar, they were designed to perform two entirely different purposes. Why then don’t we, equally, consider those who say that because mankind and apes share some similarities, man was once an ape – as being ignorant as well!

Whether it comes from an uncivilized people living in tribes in the Amazon forest, or whether it comes from individuals with titles and degrees behind their names: ignorance must always be recognized for what it is. It is only when the people have been taught memorization as a form of intelligence – instead of training their mind’s to use its reasoning power, and with the aid of having all the facts; learn to draw conclusions – that allow people to become susceptible to deception, and the time for judgment has finally come for those who have deliberately lead mankind down the wrong path to achieving true intelligence. My son, stop being carried around like a trained parrot; speaking and believing whatever those in authority tell you to speak and believe, and start to use the brain you were born with, which is really the point of this debate – isn’t it?

There is indeed a difference between the brain of a human baby and the brain of a baby of the animal kingdom, and this difference is most remarkable and surprising. The brain of the animal kingdom, at birth, is nearly fully formed. In other words, animals were designed to have brains at birth that are already programmed with almost everything they will need to learn in life, and their brain does not demonstrate a remarkable difference from birth to maturity. In other words, other than its size, the brain of an adult animal remains as relatively noncomplex as it was at birth. Hmm – could this be because the animal brain was designed by intelligent beings to have an entirely different purpose then that for the human kingdom? The brain of a human baby, however, is noncomplex at birth even more so then that of the animal kingdom. It is, for all practical purposes, a blank sheet of paper. Seventy-five percent of the human brain develops after birth, and for the first three years, the primary function of the human brain is to connect the brain cells with one another. This process continues, however, until the brain of a human adult will have approximately 100 billion (That’s 100 billion with a “B”) neurons. As, I’m sure, you already know; neurons are the specialized cells that as a unit of the nervous system carry information by receiving and transmitting to the brain. So, my son, if the human brain was once a part of the animal kingdom’s brain, as you and the evolutionist insist, which of the larger brains of the animal kingdom crosses the threshold for intelligence by having at least one (That is one as in 1) billion neurons. How man billion neurons does the brain of an adult chimpanzee have – Zero! The bottlenose dolphin – Zero! The elephant – Zero! The mighty sperm whale – Zero!

The human brain is the most complex living organism on the planet. When all the facts are put forth: The human brain’s complexity defies all attempts to characterize it as a product that came about as the result of an accident or the progression of evolution. Certainly, there is no animal with a brain that can even remotely function at the level of the human brain, and anyone who accepts this notion that they and their brain once belonged to the animal kingdom is badly (and sadly) misinformed, and are in need of having the facts presented to them as I’m now doing for you Ralph. There is not one evolutionist, who wishes to appear to be in his right mind – at least, who would argue that the world’s most recent super computers came into existence by accident. All sensible people would agree that the computer is the product of intelligent design, and its intricate circuitry did not accidentally come together haphazardly. No, all sensible people would agree that the computer is one of mankind’s crowning achievements. Which, then, is superior – the human brain, or the world’s fastest super computer?

The most powerful experimental computer can only do a few million MIPS (million computer instruction per second). By estimation, the human brain has about 100 million MIPS worth of processing power while recent super-computers only has a few million MIPS worth in processor speed. That said, the brain is still the winner in the race. Because of the cost, enthusiasm and efforts still required, computer technology has still some length to go before it will match the human brain's processing power. So, now my son I ask you, are you sure you want to be among those who insist that a living organism that is, by far, more powerful then the world’s most powerful super computers; that this organism (the human brain) is the result of an accident?

The people of any society that has allowed ignorance to become accepted as intelligence are in serious trouble and that civilization, in the long run, will never survive. And, you want to know what is really sad? All the scientific data I used for this debate came straight from the Internet, so the facts are in the public domain. When the people were being taught unscientific and unproven theories in the universities, colleges, schools, and churches of any culture as if they were proven scientific facts: history leaves a clear record of what became of those civilizations. It was only when someone among them was willing to stand up and state the facts, and dispel the lies that made it possible for some of the people to escape the punishment that breaking these natural laws brought down upon their heads. As the year 2012 is ever approaching closer and closer, the life saving truth that will give protection to those who are willing to listen, receive, and understand is now going out on the website, http://www.nukeyofknowledge.com/.

As I have done with our previous debates Ralph, I will also post this debate on my blog page, http://www.willean21.blogspot.com/.

Yes Ralph, my beloved son, mankind has always used his brain to ask the big question, “How did we get here?” Hmm – I wonder if that is because the human brain was never a part of the animal kingdom, and it was really designed to be the threshold to a higher kingdom? A kingdom that is not offered to the animal kingdom! And, that’s the real reason why we ask the question:

“HOW DID WE GET HERE!”

ITS BACK TO THE WOODSHED FOR MY SON!

First, Dad, I would like to start out with an apology. I had a trying day at work yesterday and when I saw your email I used that to direct my anger. You know I love you too and I am thankful to have had a father like you growing up: One with such strong convictions and devotions.That has definitely rubbed off on me, and when I think about it, from time to time, I know exactly where it came from. Oh yeah, I spelled it wrong but romanticization is a real word.

Now let's get into it.

"The animals, plants, and some species of fishes that don't do this for the reasons I've already stated and others; are the exceptions to the rule and not the norm."

That is my point. There is no norm. With all the rules of nature there is something or some species that defies that law. And for the record, owls and bats being nocturnal has nothing to do with humanity. They have been like that since they have been around. Your statement disproves what you are saying. If there is a reason for an animal to be nocturnal and it does so then humans aren't the only ones who can do that. It's just that simple.

I love being black. I love black people. What I don't like is the fact that some black Americans think that just because their skin is relatively the same as another's then that means we are all brothers. It's just simply not true. I know that humanity started in Africa and I know that all man basically comes from the same source .If you are going to bring up Africa Eve you need to also bring up the fact that she was not the first human woman. And although her DNA is in all ofus, there is plenty of proof that she was not the only woman at the time when she was alive. And even though the other women's DNA is not our MRCA (most recent common ancestor) you can still find their nuclear genes in many human genomes today. If she was the first and only woman of that time the human race would have been extinct by now due to "Population bottleneck" which is an evolutionary theory that at some point a catastrophic occurrence will happen to limit the population of a species. In the case of humans this occurrence was about 70,000 years ago when the Toba Supervocano erupted in Indonesia and left about 15,000 people on the earth.

There is irrefutable physical evidence that that volcano did erupt and killed many humansmost by the lava and the other by the extreme climate change and destruction of plant life, tress, land mass', water supplies and… you get the picture. If you are going to publish our conversations and show your bible study group you bringing me to the woodshed then Ihope you show them this too. This bottleneck theory also explains the extinction of the dinosaurs and other extinct plant life. Also, If you think that Eve was talking a formal language, building a home or even knew what the wheel is then it is you who are uncomfortable with your skin, by over glorification, which I think many blacks do and want to believe that we started out talking and cooking from jump street. There is no proof of that and if one looks at the lineage of humans through a non-religious scope will find that it is not probable.

Let's talk about this "discovery of time". One can't discover something that is always there. That is my problem with the story of America. White people are always saying that Columbus found America even though there were people already here. That is ridiculous. The same goes with your claim that some one discovered time. Time was already in existence. It just took some time (no pun intended) for humans to track what was going on and makes sense out of it. I imaginethat this is more of a semantic argument than an actual one but nonetheless I think there is a better way to convey your point.

"Ralph, my son, because blacks fought each other and killed each other does not diminish the greatness of their accomplishments. Don't you see that it could only be a form of self- hatred that would make a person put down the accomplishment of his own race, or to hold them to a standard he would not hold any other race?"

Not once did I put down the accomplishments of anyone. Again you are trying to put words in my mouth. All I was saying is that the fact that they did some amazing things does not negate them from the innate cruelty of man. And the reason I bring that up is to show that man is,in and of itself, a killing entity. And no, I don't think that makes me a self-hater. You throwing a judgment call at me are not proving me wrong. The fact is that human's survival gift on this planet is our mind. We developed bigger brains than our primate counterparts (whichby the way, 98 to 99% of your DNA structure is exactly the same as a gorilla) and with that bigger brain, mankind has always tried to answer the big question, "How did we get here?" In the past, the beginning of that answer always starts with the sun. Then it goes from there to the
reincarnate of god (the sun) through one man. As you very well know the story of Jesus is common one that has been told time and time again in many different cultures with many different variations. Someone calls himself a wise man and tells these stories and everyone thinks he has the answers. And with a little evidence they ostensibly seem like the right person to follow. With out any real science some things can seem more than what they are. For instance, let us go back to your sun and moon example. Okay the sun's rays helps the plants grow. And the moon's cycle is similar to a women's menstrual cycle. So what, female gorillas menstruate monthly (they have sex all year around like us) and there is no talk about them being apart of the kingdom of god or them having a need to worship the sun and moon.

Our survival mechanism is the same thing that has lead to our demise. Our minds made god. And in god's name many different humans Caucasians, Africans, Asians, Hispanics have killed their own and others. We don't even need a history lesson for that one. Look at what is now going on with Israel and the Palestinians. They have been fighting for a hundred years cause the Zionist want everyone to believe that god said that land belongs to them but you and I know they stole that land long time ago after they infiltrated the Egyptian empirical system and moved their people to Canaan and brutally took over the Canaanites and that is how Islam was formed. Or take Pakistan and India. They have been fighting for hundreds of years in the name of their gods.I want to say more but I have to catch a bus and I am sure you will have fun with this. Write me back when you have the time.

Love you, dad!


Apology accepted my son. I should say that it is my fault that you are only now receiving a response from me to your rebuttal to my arguments of our last debate. Your response was timely. It was I who needed to recharge my battery, because I had so many things going on at the time. This time you seem to have given your arguments more consideration, and you have also taken the time to write with a much more legible style, which makes it easier to understand the points you are trying to make. I had to defend your intelligence to some of my readers the last time you wrote with that broken English that is being used today on the Internet and text messaging.

Son, I know how difficult it is to do the type of work you are doing, and still be able to maintain your perspective of reality. I know most people would find it very difficult to deal with the most troubled youth of our society on a daily basis. The fact that a young man, such as yourself, would willingly choose to do this right out of college says a lot about you. Not only do you possess patience that most of us would find difficulty in summoning when needed; you demonstrate this patience everyday. As your father, it concerns me that your life has been threaten on more then one occasion by the very ones you are trying to help, and although I’m very proud of you; I pray for you continually. As I told you before, you are a natural born diplomat and for you: trying to resolve conflict comes instinctively. Your willingness to listen and try to see the other side to every issue is a testament to this fact. And, I want you to know that I do believe that diplomacy has its place in our society. It is a useful and valuable tool needed in a world filled with ignorance and hatred. But, what should never be forgotten is the fact that diplomacy, by its very definition, removes fault, fines no fault, and accepts no fault.

After giving this subject a considerable amount of thought: I now feel that it is I, my son, who owes you an apology. When you attempt, as you do again and again in your rebuttal above, to demonstrate that everybody and all races are equally as good, equally as bad, and equally as everything else that could come up in your world view: You’re not expressing self-hatred, nor are you demonstrating anti-blackness: No, you’re just simply being the diplomat that you are. So, I apologize for my statements of our last debate. But, just because I’m apologizing: don’t think that I’m going to let you off the hook!

Diplomacy is the art of attempting to reconcile differences between opposing views. Rarely, if ever, is one view looked upon as the wrong view as opposed to another view, because you wouldn’t be able to tell those who hold their view that they are wrong, and still achieve a peaceful resolution or reconciliation. So, what really happens when diplomacy is used to solve conflict or, as in this case, differences of opinions: Neither side is neither right nor wrong, and the very important principals of right and wrong are, in effect, canceled out to achieve what is called neutrality. Blame is almost never placed on anyone. No matter how much cruelty has been inflicted on one people by another people; no matter how much injustice has been done by one ruling power to the inferior power; and no matter how much blood is shed by an occupying force on the native people: Diplomacy always attempts to resolve the conflict peacefully. The reality of most of these situations – I know it is difficult for someone like you to accept – is that someone has gotten away with committing a punishable crime.

I, on the other hand, am a man of faith and convictions and I’m not bound by the rules of diplomacy, nor am I restricted by the delusions of a world or a nation or a people or a person, which must always be seen as being without fault just so the (sometimes) false idea of diplomacy can be embraced in order to see everything and everybody as equal. I firmly believe that there is right and there is wrong, and these principals are real laws as real as the law of gravity is real! And, when this fact is overlooked, as it is very often done with diplomacy, a violation of laws that have very real and very lasting effects has taken placed, and the natural repercussions for violating these laws begin to accumulate, and an unavoidable, inescapable punishment begins to accrue as well. So, when a nation, a people, or a person violates these principals of right and wrong – good and evil: They are only bringing condemnation down on their heads. Living in this physical world as we do today, most people have forgotten all about these spiritual laws, and they have convinced themselves that no matter what their conduct is; they will not have to answer to anyone or anything. This was not always the case. There was a time when mankind understood that although we lived in a physical world: The world itself, and the universe too, operated under spiritual laws. It’s these spiritual laws you are referencing above when you made your statements about “Nature.”

In your statements above, you have accused me of putting words in your mouth and making a judgment call about your intentions: If you feel that were the case, then I hope you will accept the apology I have given. But, I also feel that you have mischaracterized my words too! You seem to be under the impression that I find no fault with blacks, because I state the crimes of Whites. If you had actually read the letters I sent you, then you would know that I placed the blame for everything that has gone wrong in this world squarely on the shoulders of blacks. It was our ancestors who first committed the crimes that are now responsible for the conditions we find the world in today. It is however, the European people who have now taken these crimes to a global level, and it will be this civilization that they are responsible for creating on the earth that will come under judgment first. So, if I have not made this point clear to you son, let me now state it in the simplest of language possible: Those individuals who live by the principal of good (regardless of race, nationality or gender) are right, and will be protected from the punishment that is about to come on the earth. Those people who do evil (regardless of race, nationality, or gender) are wrong, and will not escape the natural law of punishment for the crimes that have been committed on the earth. And, just as a person can’t alter the law of gravity by wishing it didn’t exit as their car runs of a cliff, they will no more be able to alter the laws of good and evil – right and wrong! If an individual, either through misguided intentions, misplaced loyalty, deceptive teachings, or just plan ignorance embraces the principals of wrong and evil: The punishment for braking these laws will still apply. That’s why I have offered to anyone, regardless of race, nationality, or gender, who is willing to take advantage of this life saving knowledge to go to my website, www.nukeyofknowledge.com, so they can read the letters, and begin the process of coming out of the laws that have now permeated our society, and thus remove the punishment that is now hanging over the head of every man, woman, and child living on this planet.

Now, to the subject at hand: You have made a lot of, what I feel, are unsubstantiated statements in the rebuttal you gave above. I know you feel that these are facts because they came from authoritative individuals and texts books; so for me to just tell you that even though some of these are the acceptable teachings today on many of the subjects you have brought up; this fact doesn’t necessarily make them true: So, you will, more then likely, not accept this as a legitimate response either. This is the point that you have not yet come to realize: Much of the information that is being taught in the churches, bible, Quran, Torah, universities, colleges, and text books are not only inaccurate, but are many times flat out lies!

I am impressed, however, with the points of your argument. You have really put together a fine rebuttal, and if this was a professional fight; you would have landed some good jabs and won this round. But no knockout punch was landed. I’m confident that I will come back in the next round.

Since you have brought up so many topics in your rebuttal, and the fact that my response has already gotten very long; I would like to address each one of these topics individually. So, I think it will be best to continue this discussion at a later date. This way I will be able to respond to each one of these topics, one at a time. I’m also going to ask, since you have all these points, that you please be patient until I have covered each of your them. Next time, try to limit your topics to two or three, so the response won’t have to be so long.

So, then Son, the first of your arguments that I will cover in my next installment will be your assertion that there is no “Norm” found in nature, so therefore there are no exceptions to the rules.

Until then,


Love Dad!
