How do you know?A rapidly expanding population cannot produce lots of moderately rare genetic variation.
How do you know?
Are bacteria, which produce a new species every nine hours, compatible?
Bacteria are not used for this conclusion.

Genetic diversity (individual differences) was programmed into man at creation. What science is observing is that trait playing out. If I was a creator I would make sure my people were individuals right out of the womb, not lab rats.
Sorry, you can't program in genetic diversity. Six individuals will have very limited diversity, especially if three of them are brothers.
It's my job to know things like that. You tell me how, if you think there's a way.How do you know?
You mean, are they compatible with you? Or with what? (Also, the new species every nine hours strikes me as something somebody made up.)Are bacteria, which produce a new species every nine hours, compatible?
I thought you were bowing out? What you're posting still has nothing to do with the problem.Of course not.
Bacteria are coded differently, aren't they?
That way, scientists who adhere to Linnaeus' classification system don't have to work overtime trying to keep up with assigning binomials every nine hours.
Let me get this straight.
Are you saying, for example, that Shem's kidneys, if given to Japheth, would not be rejected by Japheth?
I don't know how.It's my job to know things like that. You tell me how, if you think there's a way.
No, they may have very well rejected each other's organs. But give them a few generations and the average number of differences would have dropped immensely. The constant inbreeding in early generations would have meant that the descendants would all have more of the brothers different genes shared among them. Shem's genes would not have stuck with only his descendants unless his kids only mated with each other. The genes of your scenario would have come from only 5 people with two of them very heavily emphasized. It would leave a massive population bottleneck in our genome. It simply does not exist.
This stuff is all over my head, but I'm getting the impression you're saying that Shem, the father of the Jews & Asians & American Indians; and Ham, the father of the Africans; and Japheth, the father of the Europeans, all hung around together inbreeding?
And if this inbreeding solves the organ-rejection problem, can "Hitler's kids" all donate their organs to each other without any rejections?
Ask sfs nicely and he may be able to explain it to you.
Forget it.
You guys can lose sleep over it.
I've got more pressing problems.
Like when my pizza's gonna get here.
Today's science: nature's natural insomnia.
Why should we lose sleep over it.
Well, if you're not gonna lose any sleep over it, I sure ain't!
You don't see me asking others here to explain the Flood in light of genetic inbreeding, do you?
Science causes people to doubt the Bible.
Only on paper.That is because it would once again debunk the Flood and you don't want that.
Only on paper.
Tell you what:
You say no Flood, I say Flood.
How about we let God break the tie?
And if you want to claim He doesn't exist, the burden of proof is on you as well.And if you even want to claim a God exists the burden of proof is upon you to do so.
And if you want to claim He doesn't exist, the burden of proof is on you as well.
Tell you what:
I'll claim God exists.
