The Past 5000 Years

An article was posted this week that described how evolutionists now say that changes to the human population have occurred at a much faster pace in the past 5000 years than they did before. It seems they are suggesting that something happened to speed up the evolutionary process. It would be very helpful if they would have explained what they define as evolution. The article describes significant changes to human genetics over the past 5000 years, which are then extrapolated to complement the widely-held belief of slow-moving random evolution in years previous. However, it is interesting to note that the article itself only talks about changes within the human species, which is not sufficient evidence to support between-species leaps.

Let's see, from the Bible what happened 5000 years ago? Wasn't that around the time of the flood? Hmm...could there be any connection with their findings? We find that life spans shortened significantly after the flood, and that the world-wide gene pool was dramatically changed with only 8 people remaining, so could it be possible that the rapidly changing genetics is a result of this event? The grouping of people in terms of their languages happened around this time as well, which would have likely spurred on genetic mutations from familial intermarriage. In addition, the age at which children were born became younger after the flood (according to the Bible), so genetic mutations would have happened more quickly than before.

The article stated, "Even with these changes, however, human DNA remains more than 99 percent identical, the researchers noted." This would indicate to me that humans come from a single source.

Again, we find that science confirms what is written in the Scriptures. Unfortunately, much of the scientific world is not willing to acknowledge it.
