Adam created first and then Eve..not eve wandering around in Africa for years and years and then stumbled up on Adam and got him drunk and then all that "begatting" began.

But the story isn't about the Biblical Adam and Eve. They just call them that as a metaphor.

Look, you believe in DNA testing, right? If someone tested your DNA and it turned out that you weren't related to your mother's husband, you'd think there was something funny going on, wouldn't you? And if your kids had different DNA from yours, you'd probably want a divorce, right?

Well, the story is about DNA. Everybody on earth today is descended from the DNA of one woman who lived 120,000 years ago, and one man who lived 60,000 years ago, probably in Africa.

So if God created Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, it was at least 120,000 years ago, and probably in Africa. But of all the generations between 120,000 years ago and 60,000 years ago, none of the males survived to pass on their genes. Something happened to kill off all but a very few people, from whom we are all descended, is the most logical explanation. Maybe it was the climate, maybe a disease, who knows?

That is the purpose of the article, spin. They want to create such confusion. Remember who watches the most network television. Liberal women. This "spin" feeds feminsts.

The article mischaracterizes DNA and inheritance.

It is all DNA. It is all who lived long enough to have babies. This is PC to make "eve" come before "adam" so to speak. This is just to annoy people. In the end this will be re-re-re-re-re-re-revised. But that will be published in a science journal nobody reads. By then ABC will not be interested.
