Excuse me for interrupting the serious discussion, but I thought some might be interested in the cosmology of the Nation of Islam, or Black Muslims, as set forth by David Remnick in his book on Ali [wish I had a scanner]:
76 trillion years ago a single atom began to spin and out of that atom came the earth and then a man, a black man, the "Original Man" we now know as Allah. In turn, Allah created the known universe and then created the black race. The black man, therefore, had primacy in the universe and was divine. Life for him was a paradise of plenty and righteousness
6,600 years go a black child named Mr. Yacub was born, a child with an unusually large cranium, known as a "bib head scientist." Mr. Yacub was a prodigy, a diabolical genius, who fishished the university course of study by the time he was 18, but because he also began preaching dangerous theology, he and 59,999 of his followers were exiled to the island of Patmos. There, Dr. Yacub proceeded to kill off his fellow black men and create a "devil race" born of lies, deception, and murder. Mr./Dr. Yacub knew that black men had a dominant black germ and a weaker brown gene, but he was able to create lighter people by feeding the blacks to wild beasts of sticking needles in their brains and mating the lighter men and women. After 200 years, Yacub was dead and there were no blacks left on Patmos. 600 yrs. later the folks on Patmos had evolved from black to brown to yellow to white. Fard (the founder of the religion) called them "white devils", a sickly people, with thin blood and weak bones...with 6 oz. brains. They were sent to Europe by the Fruit of Islam, where they degenerated into primitives, living like animals, even engaging in sex with animals. Moses was sent to civilize them and eventually whites came to be dominant, forcing blacks into slavery and forcefeeding them swine and Christianity, making them lose touch with Original Men.
The myth of redemption involves a shell-shaped 1/2 mile-wide spacecraft called the Mother Plane. The plane is piloted by the finest black men who use their psychic abilities to steer. 8-10 days before Allah's day of retribution, the Mother Plane will litter the planet with pamphlets written in Arabic and English telling all God-fearing righteous people where to hide from the imminent attack from the heavens. The attack will be brutal and complete:1500 planes will will take off from Mother Plane and unleash bomb after bomb and leave only the righteous alive. America will burn in a lake of fire for 390 years and cool after 610 years. The black man will build a new civilization on the ashes of the old.
