Another Nail in the Coffin

A while back I saw an article about the minimum number of people it would take to establish a colony on another planet. It was a very high number. I was thinking about that again this week and looked it up. The minimum number of humans needed for a viable colony is 10,000, though that doesn't insure 100% preservation of the human genome. The number for that is 40,000 people. One of the articles about the study is here. Different articles conflict a bit on the numbers. That one says 14,000 minimum. It also has this interesting tidbit:

"Almost no natural populations of vertebrates dip below around five to 7,000 individuals," he said during the FISO talk. " There are genetic reasons for this. And when they do go below this, sometimes they survive, but many times they go into what's called a demographic or extinction vortex."

Thus, a colony population of a few thousand people would not survive. It would take a ton of people. (More information on extinction vortex.)

One of the most disturbing scientific findings in recent times was the discovery that humans are losing about 200 base pairs of DNA per generation. Hold onto that thought.

When thinking about the minimum number of humans necessary to preserve our genome, it occurred to me that this directly applies to evolution. According to evolution, humans evolved from simple organisms and continue to evolve into more and more complexity. Also, according to science, humans evolved from one woman who is referred to as Eve or ancestral Eve.

Wait a minute. If vertebrate species need well over 5,000 individuals to survive, how could humans possibly have evolved from one woman? If we need 40,000 people to prevent losing part of our genome, where did that diversity come from? We now know that we're losing 200 base pairs of DNA per generation, a complete contradiction to the evolutionary model. Instead of becoming more complex, our genome is shrinking from complexity to simplicity. In other words DNA follows the law of entropy.

That's the end of Darwinian evolution. A primitive monkey-woman would not have had the genetic diversity to birth our species, not to mention there would not have been the 40,000-person minimum population needed to preserve our genome.

Darwinian evolution is dead. It violates the law of entropy. It violates the law of abiogenesis. It violates the laws of genetics. Over and over again, science keeps disproving Darwinian evolution. Evolutionists keep believing in it anyway. Where is the rational thought?

According to the Bible, Adam and Eve transmitted a very complex genome that is decaying over time. That's what science keeps confirming. We're not evolving. We're devolving.

Have a great weekend.
