[Alter Kaker]

There were eight people on the ark, Noah, his wife, the three sons and their wives. I guess one of them was blue-eyed. At least the time line (6 to 10,000 years ago) is correct.

If that helps you sleep better at night, ok.

Of course the same sort of genetic tests that dated the last common ancestor of blue eyed people also dated the last common ancestor of human beings and chimpanzees as 4.1 million years ago.

What do you think about that?

“One data point, does not an extrapolation make, grasshopper, or padawan, or whatever.”

All kidding aside,

there is a lot of hiding of the truth in too much research, I know this first hand. Also, there is far more scientific truth in the Bible than is commonly recognized.

Do you find it in the least curious that the blue-eyed divergence happened at the same time as the explosion of languages from a common root to form the Indo-European langage tree?
