Where does Maxine Waters come from? It can’t be human!
Then how did we get Democrats?
I picture an ark ...
Someone either made it or brought it here from somewhere else. Or something happened to something that was already here, and it evolved.
There are tons of theories.
And if we started with just a pair, how did we procreate without most of us being disfigured mutants within two generations?
Once again, science catches up to history.
Noah’s Ark
It is a fallen world indeed.
Them thar scientist fellas are purty smart.
Surprise, surprise, surprise!
Fred and Wilma.
Biblically, we all came from Noah and his family. That’s 8 people. Noah, his wife, and their 3 sons and their wives.
The best answer I’ve heard is, by the time Adam was a thousand years old, he would have fathered about 800 children, who, over a hundred years here and a hundred years there, married and had their own children and great-grandchildren by the time Cain was ready to marry. So, Cain married one of his 100-yr old brother or sister’s great-or great-great-grandchildren. Because Adam lived so long and Eve also able to crank out the kids for those same 800yrs, we can reason that The Almighty kept Adam and Eve’s DNA incorruptible, so there was no initial danger of inbreeding or disease. Once there were thousands and thousands of people far removed from Adam, The Almighty declared incest a mortal sin and DNA became corruptible.
Right.
Two people: Noah and a woman to be named later.
God is the superintendent. He is sovereign.
Perhaps you were thinking of the kind of genome we see in people TODAY. Not the kind God created.
Or, perhaps you were thinking that God is not in control of His creation.
Thank you...I was thinking the same thing. And if we read that correctly then the science here isn’t quite as on board as originally surmised.
Or I don’t think the Bible is non-fiction.
In His wisdom, He gave you “free will”. It’s yours to believe whatever you want.

In other words, when some scientific findings can be very selectively interpreted so as to appear to give slight support to the Biblical creation story (which is allegory, and not intended to be literally true), then Science is good. But then if something in the Bible baldly contradicts commonsense and Science, a wizard did it.

...which is allegory, and not intended to be literally true (IMHO)...
FIXED IT FOR YA
Well, the “solitary pair” is correct. The timing is a little off.
