“In short, science has confirmed what many of us already knew: there was not a literal first couple.”
Already knew? Really? Not just believed, or thought, or hypothesized, but KNEW?
Hm.
And, moreover, science confirmed just a few years ago that we were all descended from one woman. What happened to that? Has it been disproved? If not, why is this writer ignoring it? If so, why should I place my faith in this pronouncement of what "science has confirmed?"
