There is no Y Chromosome Clock

Biblical Genetics ·

2022/09/08

The 'molecular clock hypothesis' is critical for evolutionary theory. If it fails, many evolutionary speculations will fall as well. Yet, there is abundant evidence that mutations in the Y chromosome have happened at different rates among different people groups. If this is true, nobody an know how long ago 'Y Chromosome Adam' lived. Notes: My Review of Nathaniel Jeanson's Traced Ding et al. 2021.

Evolution’s Wobbly Foundation

Biblical Genetics ·

2022/08/25

During the process of protein translation, the cell matches three letters in DNA for each amino acid. But there are 4 x 4 x 4 = 64 possible 3-letter combination and only 20 amino acids. This means that most amino acids have more than one code and that many mutations do not change the amino acids in the resulting protein. For decades, mutations at these sites were seen as 'silent', but this can no longer be accepted. Instead, it is now clearly understood that most mutations in these sites, even if

Adam and Eve did not live 200,000 years ago

Biblical Genetics ·

2022/08/16

Dr Rob explains an issue in the creation vs. evolution debate: how fast mutations accumulate. The rate we can measure in families (the 'genealogical' rate) is much faster than the rate at which it is claimed mutations accumulate in the population (the 'phylogenetic' rate). There are good reasons why the genealogical rate is closer to the real value we should use to date Adam and Eve, including the fact that most mutations are selectively neutral and, therefore, accumulate at the rate at which the

Did we evolve from 10,000 people in Africa?

Biblical Genetics ·

2022/07/19

The oft-heard claim is that Homo sapiens evolved from Homo erectus within a small African population with an effective size of about 10,000 individuals. What, exactly is an "effective" population size and how is that different from a "census" population size? Strangely, nobody seems to be able to identify that "population" from which we supposedly arose. Earlier discussion on Africa on BiblicalGenetics.com: Was Africa the Cradle of Humanity? Did Eve live in southern Africa? Some background

Seven reasons to believe that Adam was real

This presentation was produced for a conference at the Scandinavian School of Theology in Uppsala, Sweden. I was speaking as a representative of Creation Ministries International, but since this recording is similar to my talk The Historical Adam: theological conundrums and scientific implications,* which is free on the CMI store, by the way, CMI decided to not publish my new talk. Yet, I hated to let all that work go to waste, so I am putting it out on my Biblical Genetics platform. *If that link

Old fathers are genetic poison

Biblical Genetics ·

2022/06/28

The idea that old men contribute more mutations to their children than young men is not controversial. The application of this thought to people who lived 'biblical' lifespans, however, is. Here, I discuss some new information on the subject and talk a little about the Creation Research Society and what it does to promote creationist research.

Apples are the perfect fruit…for discussing how...

Biblical Genetics ·

2021/11/09

The apple gives us several excellent illustrations for understanding biblical genetics. The genetics of the apple tree is super complicated, yet always fascinating. From one domestication event several thousand years ago we now have over 10,000 apple varieties, and this does not include the many wild species of apple-like trees. How does this fit within biblical genetics? Tune in to find out! Filming location: Raven Rock State Park, Lillington, North Carolina Notes and links: Species Designed

We also have historical records of the various Jewish enclaves that appeared from Spain to Burma.

Early Israel was a Hotbed of Interracial Dating

Biblical Genetics ·

2021/10/19

The biblical story details a surprising number of marriages between Israelite and non-Israelite people. This leads to questions about what is a "Jew", where the boundaries are between "races" (if they even exist), and what we should expect to see when we look at the DNA of Jewish and other Middle Eastern people. According to the Bible, the Jews should be a mélange of all the people among whom they lived. Is it true? Min article: Carter R (2017) Extensive mixing among Israelites and non-Israelites

How long were the Israelites in Egypt?

Biblical Genetics ·

2021/09/21

There are many question that revolve around the Israelites time in Egypt. One of these deals with how long they were there. The Bible gives conflicting numbers and people argue over a "430-year Long Sojourn" and a "215-year Short Sojourn". In this episode, Dr Carter attempts to add to the discussion by introducing the genealogical data given to us in the Bible. The data beautifully and easily span a 215-year window, but cannot span a 430-year. Notes and links: Main article: Carter R, Sanders S,
