"Theistic evolutionists present multiple genetic arguments against a literal Adam and Eve.
One key argument asserts it would be impossible for a single human couple to give rise to the genetic diversity seen in the modern human population.
This implicitly assumes Adam and Eve would have been created without internal genetic diversity. If this were true, all observed variations would have to arise recently via random mutations.
Yet, Adam and Eve could have been created massively heterozygous. ....a vast amount of genetic variation pre-programmed into their genomes.
Yet, Adam and Eve could have been created massively heterozygous. ....a vast amount of genetic variation pre-programmed into their genomes.
This could logically provide the genetic basis for:
1) our human gifts and talents;
2) the many forms of human beauty; and
3) the various ways people have rapidly adapted to new habitats."
