Creation Moment 1/5/2019 - Lineal Descendants of Eve

"In the approximately 6,000 years since creation, humans have gone through roughly 250 generations.

In each fertile female the embryonic sex cells undergo about 23 cell generations to produce approximately 7 million primary eggs in the
developing ovary, but this number is then selected back to about 1–2 million in the mature ovaries.
No more eggs are produced during the female’s lifetime.
Males, on the other hand, continue to produce new sperm throughout life so they continue to accumulate mutations with age. In the Hutterite family study,
--85% of SNPs came from fathers and
--only 15% from mothers.

Female DNA plays a foundational role in maintaining the viability of life in the long term because it is the egg-cell, with its high-fidelity maternal DNA, that becomes the first cell of the offspring.
Males only contribute chromosomes. When Adam named his wife Eve, “because she would become the mother of all the living” (Genesis 3:20), he spoke a biological truth that would only become known to science 6,000 years later. The cells of all our bodies are the lineal descendants of the cells of Eve’s body, but not of Adam’s."
