The Evolution versus Creationism debate is pretty ancient and corny at this point, as are most that have been reduced to simple A or B choices.
Let's accept truths from both sides of the coin. Is it possible that a (group/settlement) caucasian albino(ids) at some point in human history, settled in Europe in general and in Italy in particular, whereupon somehow, someway, they came into contact with a pious Jewish Carpenter of Color (hair of sheep's wool, skin of bronze... etc) from the Middle East, and killed him??? As for the miracles (e.g., Jesus turning water into wine, please see the preceding post on metaphors,"; then put your imagination to work.
Though this scenario above may be entirely simplistic and extremely glib to even suggest, if there is any truth to it, however, then the authors of the Bible, and those in/around Rome/Italy in particular wrote the greatest, most apologetic, most enduring text in human history. Accept the apology and K.I.M. (keep it movin',!) people. Get off they back, they been held down the fort (through more than literature, in language and art, too) long enough, and even left a pretty visible (stake out the door, in the words of a Mr. Carter.").
Latin itself, is akin to linguistic cartography. That basically means all signs point to man's history as they unashamedly and admittedly borrowed many a word from their antecedents the Greeks, who borrowed much from parts of Africa.
