Re: not wierd at all.
I'm trying to think through Faith's built in genes vs. mutations.
Actually it is rather easy. You see all this genetic material is just lying around in the genome (and a lot of it is stored in junk files), and there are three ways these built-in genes become activated:
  1. an inactive gene section is moved into an active section of the genome and goes to work, or
  2. a previously active gene has the blocking mechanism that prevented it from being active removed.
  3. an activator section is moved to where an inactive built-in gene resides, turning it on.
Don't you dare call these "mutations" though (that is an evilutionist assumption), because these are brought about by simple recombination of the existing genes in small populations, when they were suppressed in larger populations.
Enjoy

actually
She can't have been an exact clone, on account of being female. We need to allow some God-magic in the crafting of Eve's genome.
But you can make XX from XY just by doubling the X. Harder to make an XY from XX.
What I want to know is if Adam was pregnant with Eve or did she grow like a yeast bud.
