Many African American Christians are uncomfortable with Africa as the birthplace of humanity. According to some biblical scholars, the Garden of Eden was located somewhere in the Tigris-Euphrates area, in the “Middle East.” For this reason, some Christians reject the out-of-Africa idea. Also the so-called Myth of Ham, in which Blacks had allegedly been cursed by God with servitude and hard, menial labor. Thirdly, many critics of Darwin simply rip his words from their proper context. There are certainly passages from his writings showing that he shared some of the racial prejudices of his day. However, merely being prejudiced does not make one a hateful racist. But who knows, I definitely accept that shit.
