...anatomically modern humans emerged from primate ancestors about 100,000 years ago, from a population of something like 10,000.

I am not a scientist, so sometimes the subtlety of their arguments escapes me, but don't those "10,000" have a genome that originated somewhere, or is the assumption that those 10,000 spontaneously generated?

10,000 just popped out of the ground.... yeah, that makes more sense than God making them. lol.

NOT.

That was my thought too. They didn't answer it, only kicked the can down the road.
