If Adam mated with others of the preAdamic population, there would be a fifty percent chance that his offspring would be heterozygous and consequently would not have free will, while having a spirit.
I see some unwarranted assumptions here. On average fifty percent of Adams offspring would have inherited such traits from Adam assuming that being inherited was even the mechanism for having free will and a spirit. What if free will was a developmental trait. What if a spiritual came from communing with God?
Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846)
I would say here something that was heard from an ecclesiastic of the most eminent degree; That the intention of the Holy Ghost is to teach us how one goes to heaven, not how the heaven goes. Galileo Galilei 1615.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Frederick Douglass
Seems PaulGL is the original author of this drivel. He sent me a couple messages. Not sure why he didn't post it to the thread. Other than the fact that it is a worthless attempt to promote his own site.

Dear fellow forum respondent: Due to time constraints, it will be a while before I will have time to reply directly to comments regarding my posts. Mainly I post my conclusions and the source support to E v C because it is an excellent acid test of their validity. But I strongly tell you that knowledge and truth are 2 different things. Knowledge can only point to truth. If a person only wants to debate knowledge without subjectively experiencing the truth that it points to, then knowledge to them is vanity. Truth is reality, which involves eternal (vs. temporal) existence. And there is only one truth which always has been, is, and always will be. That is God. And He became a man to take on our form- to reach us. Now He is the Spirit available to come into your spirit. Becoming 'born-again' is as unmistakable as physical birth. Like pregnancy, you is or you ain't- there is no partially. So I am trying to relate in empirical terms the spiritual reality that I know to be true. Otherwise, what value is it to you if I don't try to communicate in the most valid, empirical means and ways? The whole is more than the sum of its parts: www.amessageforthehumanrace.org Please find time (which is getting short) to read it.

PS: how do you plagiarize from your own material? Glad to see you found my book. "Christ in you, the hope of glory" Theodoric, please ask the Lord to be real to you AND to come into you. It's a free offer, but no one knows the expiration date.

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.
where do you draw the line between "ape with human features" and "human with ape features,"
Apes have 24 chromosomes and humans have only 23 chromosomes.
The evolution from a surrogate mother ape's womb took place 7 million years ago, when by an Act-of-God, two or the 24 ape chromosomes fused together in a mutation which would thereafter create a new species, man.
