I am pretty sure this was already revealed in the series finale of 'Battlestar Galactica'.

I remember reading a book that mentioned something like that. My parents had it. Short title, began with 'B' as I recall.

I think you mean 'H'.

Quite so.

Hello my incestrial cousins.

I'm blaming you for being average-looking.

Adam and Eve. It's in the Bible. Now it's SCIENCE! :angel:

They must have had some good genes.

My understanding is, a large percentage of animals also have this marker that points to an extreme bottleneck at about the same time. What sense to they try to make of that?

Maybe a big flood?

Does 200,000 years match up with the Biblical flood?
(Not being a wise guy, just curious.)

I suppose that depends on how long a day was in the early days of the Erf.

And do any of us ever call them? How hard is it to pick up a phone? Just once in awhile, no need to make a big production out of it!

I think a consensus among scholars that there was major global flooding 7000-9000 years ago as the glaciers melted. This is usually coincided with the biblical flood.

The day is theorized to have been much shorter in the early days, as the Moon has a braking effect on the Earth's spin. 200,000 years ago, however, isn't long enough ago to have much difference. Maybe 5 sec or so.

My understanding is no it does not, but I'm far from an expert on the subject.
The articles I have read on the whole "Mitochondrial Eve" or this DNA Barcode stuff actually says there was likely a cataclysm of some kind and the population was reduced to under 5000. But a single couple sells more headlines.

Ahhh....The good old days... =D

Not to go all bible on ya, but....There is an allegorical comment about how long days and years may have been a very long time ago when no records were kept. Peter 3:8.
My Christian brothers and sisters always seem to be at each other's throats about "time". To me it's fairly simple. Isaiah 55:8-9. If there is a God, and He made the Universe, I suppose he could do anything within it that would suit His purpose. Nit picking is always fun, but sometimes, as the old adage says, "You can't see the forest for the trees."

Yeah, but y'all are from the inbred side of the family. :P
I never saw a conflict with the Genesis story and evolution. It's an allegory, not a legal deposition.

Ditto. I even wrote extensively on this, but it's not in electronic form. Unpublished typewritten novel. And I'm sure you can see why: neither "evolutionists" nor "creationists" liked it.
"...not a legal deposition..." I couched that in terms of a literal description of things as they understood them in their time.
Sorta kinda like how a little kid would describe mommy and daddy "fighting" on coming across his parents having really great sex, or, for that matter, Ezekiel's description of what we now characterize as "UFOs."
Yeah, I know. No wonder it was unpublished, right?

Don't give up. Now you can self-publish it for next to nothing. eBooks and print-on-demand can make it happen.
Perhaps Devonai can offer some guidance in this regard.

More like a treaty. (Really. There's a lot of discussion out there about how the Bible uses Ancient Near East treaty forms.)
