it’s not just people who came from a single pair of beings, but nine out of every 10 animal species, too

This had me thinking Noah
That hadn’t occurred to me, but it makes perfect sense!
This article reminded me of the stories that appear every so often about archaeological discoveries corroborating ancient events in the Bible.
I think you’re right.
This part seems to confirm it:
“after a catastrophic event almost wiped out the human race.”
Yeah - I’m trying to remember what the animals were that came in by the sevens(?). Clean animals I think, so they could do sacrifices. Be interesting if that matched up with the Ark.
Although even those should go back to the original pair of animals at Creation.
I’m guessing that their scientific experiments have a 10% accuracy rate - which accounts for the 9 in 10. (It probably is 10 out of 10).
But - even evolutionary-wise. The odds are so stacked against a male AND a female just happening by chance - and then just happening by chance to meet up with each other in the entire world - it would pretty much have to happen just once. (I mean, the odds are pretty impossible, so it would REALLY be impossible having it happen twice.)
