Well here’s an interesting post comparing average heights in 1912 and 2012.

If Americans are on average getting shorter, which I doubt, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if it was related to immigration.

I live in a neighborhood where there are a lot of Central Americans, and many of them are really short.

In 1900 Europe had a quarter of the world’s population, and three times that of Africa; by 2050 Europe is predicted to have just 7 per cent of the world population, and a third that of Africa.

“Our grandfather’s generation, in their prime some 50-75 years ago (for most) were not as tall or as smart by any measure.”

I have a nice set of dining chairs from around 1825. I can’t sit in them! They’re made for people who were much shorter.

Adam and Eve’s brains were originally “very good.”

But not good enough to see through the Serpent's scam.

The Europeans who colonized America were very short, the native Indians towered over them like giants. This has basically become lost information.

If you go look at genuine medieval armor, it looks like it was made for a child, while the native American population were practically giants at 6 feet.

Only those watching more than 10 minutes a day of any BBC television channel, you can feel the IQ points leaking out of your ears.

It seems to me that creationists are getting dumber.
