In the 1800s and early 1900s, tens of thousands of Europeans journeyed to Africa to steal African wealth and force the native people to become slaves. The Africans who resisted faced a level of brutality previously unknown in Europe or Africa. Native African peoples put up a strong but futile defense against the Europeans’ powerful guns and cannons. As a result, over a million indigenous inhabitants of Africa were murdered. In addition to greed, the main justification for this genocide was the Social Darwinian belief that Africans were biologically inferior humans. Social Darwinism was close to universally believed because it was supported by the day’s leading scientists. The belief that Adam and Eve were the parents of all people living today, White and Black, negates the belief that Blacks are less evolved than Whites. Rejection of Genesis opened the door that allowed the Europeans to plunder the lands and people of Africa. In contrast, Christian missionaries who accepted the Genesis teaching about the Edenic origin of all humans and the command of loving your neighbor, eventually, after much struggle, forced the end of the African holocaust. The result was over half of Africa converted to Christianity. Indigenous religions are now practiced by very few people, and most of southern Africa is now Christian.
