The variation of the human genome requires at least 100,000 years to obtain.

This is your premise, not my contradiction. It is based on average lifespans similar to or shorter than ours, rather than the ones described in the Mosaic account. Noah lived another 350 years after the flood. Abraham (born 400 years later) lived 175 years. The numbers become more "familiar after that. This additional opportunity for more separate bloodlines more than explains your misconception.

I love it when evolutionists accuse others of believing in fairy tales.

You're claiming that people lived for periods longer than 200 years? Can you cite one modern record of a human lifespan longer than 130? (Let me help you here: no, you can't). So we either have to conclude that either people's biochemistry has drastically changed in 3000 years (and, oddly enough, it had shrunk to less than 100 by the time of the Romans and has remained fixed or increased since), and that lifespans back then were totally discordant with what we know of mammalian lifespans, or that the oral tradition of an unsophisticated middle-eastern tribe embroidered history a bit.

Which is it likely to be? Hmm, that's a tough one.

B: LOL. We'll see.

B: Which makes for even a stronger contradiction. TO develop the amount of variation observed, requires more generations, not less. And if you posit long life times, that makes the bottleneck problem worse, not better. Its always amusing when creationists, trying to fend off a simple argument, actually make matters worse for themselves, not better.


This additional opportunity for more separate bloodlines more than explains your misconception.

B: What opportunity? LOL. Its even more amusing when creationists don't realize how wrong they are. Perhaps this guy will get a clue.

I love it when evolutionists accuse others of believing in fairy tales.

B: THis guy beleives Noah lived 940 years and accuses evolutionists of believing in fairy tales. You're a piece of work, dude.
