This is the most appropriate place for me to inject this statement.  One of 
the theological difficulties I have with Evolution is that white 
supremacists use it in conjunction with British Israelism to claim that the 
non-white races are not human at all.  They jump on the question of where 
Cain's wife came from for their logic.  I recognize that for what it is, but 
it is still a major stumbling block to my acceptance of Evolution as 
anything beyond a theory, if not an outright fantasy.
