Maybe for you it is.
Doubt is an unpleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

This question is still left unanswered.

Which is why it was absurd for you to say "This question is still left unanswered.".
Not so. From the very beginning I had a question that I knew could never be certainly answered, currently.
Philosophically, I'd like to find the answer that makes most sense. Scientifically, there may, in fact, be a certain answer. Who knows?

My question is this: what is the motivation & the agenda of attempting to suggest or prove that one race is intellectually inferior to another?
what is the end game? what are we really getting at here?
You misunderstood my point. Your statement is absurd because you were certain that the question remained unanswered.
...What is the motivation & agenda of suggesting that evolution magically left all races equally intelligent, yet changed many other things of our being?..

You're saying the question has been absolutely proven?

...I, for one, am highly suspicious of the notion that evolution left all races equally intelligent....
What is your end goal in this discussion, Wake? What are you trying to prove or disprove? And, most importantly, why?
I'm neither trying to prove nor disprove anything. I have a question that wants answers. The notion that evolution left all races equally intellect is dubious; I have either not seen or cannot remember the proof that shows otherwise. Same goes for the notion that evolution left races with differing average intellect.

And how do you plan to go about answering it? Otherwise, you are just shooting off at the mouth and that accomplishes very little.
I think the question that most people here have is: what is motivating this question?
That's a silly and redundant question. What motivates any question here?
you didn't answer the question.
you were motivated to ask this question & create this thread, for what reason?
what is the endgame of this discussion?

Why are you assuming that evolution is a factor in any and all potential racial variance?
It's not "shooting off at the mouth" as you put it. I'm asking questions and wanting evidence. If you find that to be intolerable, well, sorry.
