Another factor that may have caused some church members to sour on Edwards was his adoption of a year-old "non-Caucasian" baby. A New York Times reporter quoted Billy Carter as saying of the adoption: "It was 99% of the preacher's problem. If you ask me, some of those Christians ought to be thrown to the lions." Billy later said that he had been "sort of misquoted. Most Plains residents dismissed Billy's charge. "He was just poppin' off," said one woman. "Why, the wife of the head of the board of deacons...
...need science to tell you all men are not created equal. Put a man and a woman in a secluded room and they will soon uncover this fact themselves.

When Genghis Khan's Mongols swept westward in the 13th century, Khazaria's Jews fled to Eastern and Central Europe. These fugitives, Koestler suggests, were part of a second Diaspora that became the Ashkenazim, or European Jews of Russia and Poland. True Semitic Jews, he says...
This conflict between sense and sensationalism causes some problems. Koestler is fearful, for example, that his book might be used to undercut the foundations of Israel. If most Israelis are really descended from Caucasian nomads who stamped themselves kosher 1,200 years ago, how can they claim...
