JIY:

It is called conjecture.  

There cannot be conclusive explanation until tests are carried out.

Even so, scientific tests themselves are seldom devoid of ideology. If a certain geneticist wants to prove that the baby is an albino, guess what, the baby is an albino! If another wants to prove differently, you'd have contradictory results. Objectivity is not always a welcome friend, despite what those "learned" people want the rest of us to think.

On another note though.

Since this generation is so gong ho about evolution, with the human intellect and powers employed to prove that we descended from monkeys.

Now having shed our tails and descended from those trees we loved so much to swing from, and having trained ourselves to discard those annoying habits of eating nuts and making monkey noises, the question is, how difficult was it for some of our brothers and sisters to shed their melanin and turn white?

Since we know, of course, that the white species or rather race are our errant siblings that crossed the seas to colder climates, acquiring long noses and horse hair in the process.

Which was more difficult, shading their tails and bodily hairs and those monkey habits or changing from black to white?

For those of us simple minded folk, don't you think that we are on to something if we venture a guess for the latter?

How then is it so hard to believe,  if nature chooses to show us in our time how she did it in the past? Or have we forgotten that

"In the beginning there was black, with melanin coursing through the veins of all.

And nature said: 'Let there be white;' and there was white. And nature saw that it was good, the blond hair and all.

And nature separated the white from the black. The black he called 'Africans,' the white, 'Caucasians.' And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day."


Have we forgotten?

I love your writing man/woman

Sure sounds like a poem and u shud be up for the next Nobel prize on Literature based on Evolution

@Mrloverman,

Point of correction, i'm no narrow thinker like you have chosen to be.  I don't play to the gallery but say it the way it is. 1+1 =2 and can never be 5. Have you asked yourself why this kind of your 'miracle' can't happen in Ajegunle or Okokomaiko.  A lion gave birth to a goat and you want me to keep quiet. God forbid!

@ Siena,  i pray that your new wife will give birth to your own white baby and we will all rejoice with you here on Nairaland in Jesus name

Does it mean that if we cannot explain or understand something there must be a conspiracy somewhere?

I think the hospital would have conducted a DNA test before bringing this issue to the public. They went as far as seeking a professor of genetics after the doctors has ruled out albinism. Do you guys think the doctors do not know that there could be infidelity?
Exactly what I told my friend!

Siena:

A lit of ignorance displayed on this thread, some stupidity too.

So, if something can't be explained by us non-experts, then there's a conspiracy, huh? I doubt the hospital would have let things come this far, without carrying out tests, including a DNA test. Because they'll be as baffled as anyone else, it's human nature to want to satisfy curiousity. Just because the parents are keeping things to themselves doesn't mean they're guilty of anything. They owe the public nothing whatsoever!

Siena:

For those that are insisting the father has a DNA test carried out, I have just two questions:

1) Who is the DNA test meant to satisfy? Himself or the world?
2) How can anyone outside the hospital, or the man and wife, know if a DNA test hasn't already been carried out?

Let's see if anyone can give answers to the above!
