Now you know why I called it a "modified founder effect," don't you?
There was no reduction in population -- just the opposite.
The population started out as one person, then it doubled, then it took off from there.
It has the population of a bottleneck event (without the event), but with the robustness of a bottleneck recovery.I fail to see how the term "modified founder effect" can be applied.
The only person mentioned by name on the earth before Adam & Eve was Lucifer.The earth was already populated when Adam and Eve appear in the creation story.
... came after Genesis 1.Colter said:Cain ...
You are wrong again. The Latin name “Lucifer” didn’t appear until the 4th century in Jeromes Vulgate translation.The only person mentioned by name on the earth before Adam & Eve was Lucifer.
Ezekiel 28:13a Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God;
... came after Genesis 1.
How do you know?You are wrong again. The Latin name “Lucifer” didn’t appear until the 4th century in Jeromes Vulgate translation.
That's right.Colter said:The fact that Cain feared people out away from his parents was left in the record:
You said Lucifer was the first name in the Bible, it was added in the fourth century.How do you know?
No one on earth was named Lucifer until the 4th century?
Not even a dog, or a bird, or anything?
And Jerome just happened to stumble upon a writing that had the first-ever name of Lucifer in it?
I don't think so, chief.
That's right.
What's your point?
Adam & Eve had Cain and Abel and a host of others.
Genesis 5:4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
And all this host of others had hosts of others who had hosts of others.
So by the time Cain kills Abel, there's a host of others x a host of others on the earth.
It's basic math.
Notice that, just before the killing, we read this:
Genesis 4:3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
Are you telling me that, in that process of time, Adam & Eve, who were blessed with fertility and told to replenish the earth, had no children?
I mean ... seriously?
If you were told to fill a sack up with potatoes, and you put two potatoes in the sack and then stopped, what would your employer think?
You think like a scientist, don't you?
Can't do math, move the decimal point as needed, move time back by four years to make it look like Jesus was born before His time, etc. and so on.
Yup ... I smell a Ph.D. here.
It has the population of a bottleneck event (without the event), but with the robustness of a bottleneck recovery.
In better terms, God created Adam & Eve with perfect genes then, on top of that, blessed them with fruitfulness (robustness).
My vote is public.So you are saying that there was NO event?
My vote is public.
All you had to do is click on the results and see that I voted NO.
I'm asking if you see a bottleneck event in Genesis 1.Which criteria for bottleneck event that you provided do you feel is lacking from Gen 1?
I'm asking if you see a bottleneck event in Genesis 1.
Don't worry.Stop trying to change the subject.
Don't worry.
I'm finished with your third-degree inquisition.
If you don't want to vote, don't.
You can wake your husband up and tell him I'm finished with your gestapo tactics.
