PopeBeanie started the topic
Can we keep this going? in the forum The African and The Indigenous FreeThinkers 2 years, 9 months ago@ysumlin, I’ve seen your passion now, and I really hope this group can see more from you, while I hope you can invite more interactivity in this Forum section that can be presented as a list of topics. I will delete this “Can we keep this going?” topic that I’ve started here, or modify it to your wishes, if you disagree.

There’s no such thing as empty space, unless you mean by empty space what we mean in everyday life (“the room was empty,” “I emptied the bottle”). To physicists, “empty” space is kind of made up of a sea of subatomic particles jumping into and out of existence.

PopeBeanie replied to the topic Will you trust the Covid vaccine? in the forum Science 3 years, 1 month ago

@ysumlin, thank you for responding and putting time into researching.

The African and The Indigenous FreeThinkers 3 years, 2 months ago@ysumlin Thank you for starting this group!
As a non-African and non-Indigenous guy (and calling myself “white”), I’m interested in how you and others feel about use of the term “People of Color”. Out of respect for your intentions for this Group, I’ve not taken the liberty to create a topic about this in your Forum. In fact not seeing any topics…[Read more]-
Thanks Pope Beanie for your question, my reply is simply this in regards to the term People of Color. I did some research of the term before answering your question and…-
The figure I had seen in _Discover Magazine_ in 1994 was that the only genetic difference between any two human beings anywhere is like 0..064 of 1 percent. The figure…-

PopeBeanie, If one really wanted to get pedantic, everyone is ndigenous to wherever they were born and everyone is foreign to wherever they weren’t. 😁😉

True. I think most people don’t understand what genetic drift, the founding effect, and the original gene pool means. The more diversity you have in a certain area this…
