Dare To Ask Talk And News About Our Differences

I am a Canadian, but many of my relatives, including my grandmother, are American, so I definitely do not hate all Americans. However, living fairly close to the U.S. border, I understand why that stereotype proliferates sometimes. I think many Canadians feel that Americans know little about anything outside of their own country, and do not care to know more. I have a friend who works at a currency exchange right on the border, and she has a lot of mind-boggling stories about Americans honestly looking for snow in August, or wondering where all the Eskimos are (who, incidentally, prefer to be called Inuit). I think Canadians get frustrated with this blatant lack of knowledge in our country, and although I realize it is far from the ‘typical American,’ we encounter a lot of it. We don’t hate Americans; without the United States, our economy would be hurting for sure, but we sometimes feel like the ant being squashed by the elephant – who doesn’t even know we’re there.

It is true that the people in Biblical times most likely did not know about dinosaurs. That would include Jesus. The word of God is about much more than who or what has lived on the earth – to put it simply, God has better things to tell us than facts about every species that has ever lived. As for your question about different races and skin colors, these are the ultimate example of evolution. Over time (we’re talking many years), a population evolves in order to adapt to its environment. That’s why people in warmer climates tend to have darker skin, which protects them from the sun, while those in cooler climates have white skin. It’s a biological adaptation. So theoretically we could all have evolved from one man and one woman, and as the generations of descendants migrated to different climates, their appearances changed to adapt. From a biological perspective, I would imagine (although I’m no scholar) that Noah could easily have been dark-skinned, given the climate of his habitat.

People are eating better, healthier foods today than they were even 20 years ago. We’re also exercising more and smoking less – I would say that on the whole, our culture has become much more conscious of the need to take care of ourselves. I, too, am taller than my mother and most of my aunts, and I am catching up on my father. My mom agrees that I ate much better than she did as a child, partly for financial reasons and partly because her generation of parents had more knowledge about the healthiest foods for their children than the previous generation.
