So there is no scientific proof, just hypothesis.
And those who doubt?
In Zoossmann-Diskin's summary, he writes that "Careful examination of their [Skorecki's and Thomas's] works reveals many faults that lead to the inevitable conclusion that their claim [that most Cohenim share a common origin] has not been proven. The faults are: the definition of the studied communities, significant differences between three samples of Jewish priests, failure to use enough suitable markers to construct the Unique-Event-polymorphisms haplotypes, problematic method of calculating coalescence time and underestimating the mutation rate of Y chromosome microsatellites. The suggestion that the 'Cohen modal haplotype' is a signature haplotype for the ancient Hebrew population is also not supported by data from other populations."The Christian Zionists want to believe so badly they will pick up any theory and run with it.
You apparently have 0.000000% insight into my psychology about believing! LOL.
Not surprising. You seem to have equally poor/little insight into End Time Scriptures.
We don't need to shoehorn events into Scriptures and private interpretations of Scriptures though some misguided folk do.
Just reading and watching the news is sufficient.
Not a big intellectual exercise at all.
You can get your knickers in a twist about the DNA sudy particulars if you wish. It's still a puzzle piece pointing in the direction of there being authentic descendents of Aaron available to serve as priests.
I suspect that at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, should you bet there, if you were left in your current state--you'd likely go around tsk tsking about how the menu wasn't suitable.
Sheesh.
