My final message for Alfred;
Western civilization measures intelligence in ways that are familiar and comfortable to us. When indigenous peoples of the third world are raised in western society, they generally score at the same levels as westerners. The best examples are the infants from New Guinea that were relocated by missionaries and raised in Europe. They had IQ's that generally surpassed those of their European cohorts.
There exists no primitive society where stupidity offers selective advantage. None.
Is it possible that some ethnic group is "naturally" superior in math and science, while another group excels in the arts? Sure. Who cares? Alfred, I do not want to live in a world where the only forces that shape my life originate from white people. Much of the texture and richness of my life would be gone.
I'm sure I would not meet your definition of "Christian", but I have known many Christians that I admire and respect. All of them have something you lack; love. Without love in your heart, Christianity is an empty message.
