| I did actually read the article. Whenever someone talks about all people descending from a single pair, nonbelievers automatically assume that the idea is a ridiculous superstition. Since most people who claim to be persuaded only by hard science seem to take evolutionists at their word, I figured it would be an article to prove the point of humanity descending from only two people that not even the most dedicated anti-theist could call Christian-biased. I don't believe in macroevolution. But I do think that science is useful. And I think that even if you are working from an incorrect hypothesis, you can still make useful and accurate observations and conjectures. The point of using the article was to prove that the single progenitor and progenitress hypothesis was genetically feasible and that it is not merely a matter of doctrinal faith.
I think I made my point.
Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. -- Song 8:6 |
