Study says near extinction threatened people

Genesis 2:22 Then the LORD God made a woman --- single woman---

The world then becomes populated till the flood
Genesis 8:13 On that very day Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark. --- story goes on to say everyone else on earth died---

humm.... not to say the study or genetics proves anything about the bible .... I just find it funny and interesting that genetics seem to say that all mankind came from one woman... and that most of mandkind was almost wipped out.....

Interesting... mitochondrial Eve certainly co-existed with a population of other women, but there may be something to the idea of such a dramatic bottleneck event being carried on through cultural memory and ending up in the Bible.

"number of early humans may have shrunk as low as 2,000..."
What is Max number Before that?!
How "small" is "SMALL" ?!

Obviously, this extreme high temperature period was caused by humans. Early man's extensive use of fossil fuels nearly caused his demise. Good thing we have Al Gore this time to prevent a recurrence!

Lets see..... this article proves the bible account AND that man causes global warming....
lol :)

Arrgh will bible basher's leave science alone please. "mitochondrial Eve" was not the biblical one!

She was merely the first to have a unique genetic structure that makes her different enough to her predecessors to be the first of a new species. She would have descended from a species very much alike humans but still too genetically different to be called human. She didn't not appear out of nowhere requiring the hand of god she was born of an ever so slightly different species.

Kinda like.. what came first the chicken or the egg? The egg fool. Because if you go far enough back at some point something which we would not consider a chicken gave rise to an egg that did contain a chicken.

Once again evolution trumps religion for making more sense.
