All Human Beings Are Descendants of Adam

You are overstating the uniqueness of ME. ME is merely the most recently born ancestor of all of us. ME's mother and ME's mother's mother would each be in the same unbroken line.

You are quick to jump into a 'reconciliation' story.

You are right, but not for the reasons you give. ME is not our oldest female common ancestor. She is instead our most recent common ancestor.Assuming the Bible to be correct regarding the creation of Adam, we would not expect mitochondrial Eve to be the Biblical Adam's mate. ME might have been born any number of generations after Biblical Eve died.Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

No,Dr. A is correct. Mitochondrial Eve is found by tracing up only through the female line. (My correction left this point out). However, using the female line only is fairly arbitrary and other women are related to us just as strongly as ME.Let's also understand that we didn't really find ME, just an estimate of the time in which she would have lived. There is really no way to find the actual person nearly 170k years ago. No actual tracing has been done, so 'tracing further up' is meaningless.Edited by NoNukes, : Add a little

That's based on dates according to some hyper literal of Genesis. Surely that is not what this thread is about.

Not so. As long as more than one woman survived the flood, it is not necessary for mitochondrial Eve to be a post-flood woman.

Who claims that humans have been existence for millions of years?I'd sure like to see some of that easy modeling? I believe you are blowing smoke about what can be shown using simplistic population models.Edited by NoNukes, : I'm bad at tags

Actually you did no such thing.In fact you bailed out of the thread Admin provided for you to make this demonstration once too many issues were raised.You probably won't find it productive to either continue to raise this issue or to complain about not being allowed to raise the issue in this thread, particularly after a you've received a warning not to do either of those things.Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.
