Also, it does not connect the creation of the universe to evolution.

It's these people that distort evolution and create a negative reaction to it.
Example, StormanNorman's post below.

Clearly those with white skin are the abnormal evolutionary product, and evolution makes it pretty clear that, while unique forms of life might adapt to local conditions, such highly adapted forms are most likely to fail to survive any change in their environment. White people really need to be seen as some strange branch in evolution that should be preserved because they might have some genetic trait that might offer some future benefit to the darker, more robust, dark skinned people.

Black people might need to plan for the future when white people are threatened with extinction from climate change. If the climate warms, white people will really begin to have a hard time surviving and reproducing. Clearly white people are white to blend in with snow, but if the earth warms, the snow will go away, the white people will become easy prey. Black people might find they have a moral or scientific mandate to set up zoos or nature preserves in which white people can survive, with the aid of black zoologists.

After all, we can expect that eventually a new ice age will begin, and the dominant black people at that time might help society adapt by cross breeding the whites in the zoos with blacks to see if some of the traits of white can be introduced into the human population.

And even if corrupt, it still doesn't take away from the point that evolution is fact.
