Woot Evolution!

When the scientific world agreed that Eve was the common point of Humans, it put the evolutionary "theory" over the edge, it is now not a theory anymore but a belief system. That must be obeyed regardless if it is proven wrong.

Obviously you felt it was tldr...

But, if you had read right below the headline you posted...

That's Ridiculous – How Could a Single Being Populate a Planet?

"And this is where the confusion sets in. A single organism can't populate a planet (arguments about amoeba aside). The evidence didn't suggest a single woman living in isolation from members of her own species. What it suggested was a genetic bottleneck – a period in human history when the population was so small that the genetic expressions of a single woman could have an impact on all humans living on the planet today.

She didn't live alone – she would have lived within a community. She didn't just pump babies out, either. There is no reason to suppose that she had more than one female child. But there is reason to suppose that whatever female children she had, they contained specific advantages for survival over the rest of the population."

So, actually, like I said, Christians and Science agree.

We all came from Eve. Unless you choose to stick your head in the sand and ignore DNA...

Evolution on the other hand, that is where the problems exist.

Why don't the evolution supporters show us evidence of species changing from one species into another... Not at the cell level but actual changes, a new species. There are thousands on the earth. I'm sure that there must be that obvious evidence, since it is taught in schools as fact...

Is Any of This True?

Well, yes and no. To get a completely accurate result the tests would have to be performed on every single person living on the planet today. The dates are in dispute, but the date is perhaps the least importmant point. Broadly speaking, populations do pass through bottlenecks. Eve had many ancestors – it helps if you think about her as an hourglass – she was the pinch in the glass through which our genes ran. There had been many more Eves before her, she is just our most recent common ancestor. There will probably be more population bottlenecks and more Mitochondrial Eves in the future.

I'll admit, I skimmed the article, but apparently, if you would have read to the conclusion of the article, you would have seen this:

Article FE cited that contradicts his beleifs, so now he will backtrack and say it doesn't say what it says wrote: Is Any of This True? Well, yes and no. To get a completely accurate result the tests would have to be performed on every single person living on the planet today. The dates are in dispute, but the date is perhaps the least importmant point. Broadly speaking, populations do pass through bottlenecks.

But, I am sure that now, you will call me a liberal and cite scripture at me.
