Genesis vs. Evolution has been fiercely debated for decades.
That could all be over soon. A genetics expert and Harvard Medical School graduate claims his research proves, through DNA testing, the biblical account of Adam and Eve.
The data, first released in 2015, has been tested for years and the controversial information has left some evolution scientists in shock.
Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson led a study focusing on DNA in order to evaluate the theory that men and woman can trace their lineage back to a single man and a single woman, according to Charisma News.
Jeanson says found majority of his proof in Eve and her mitochondrial DNA that has carried from generation to generation.
According to his research, the variations in this mitochondrial DNA between people proves that all of humanity descended from just one female, as stated in Genesis.
He claims if we all descended from different woman with wide variations in mitochondrial DNA, we would have much more genetic diversity than we currently have.
Answers in Genesis’ Georgia Purdom released a documentary based on Jeanson’s findings, and described in detail how she interprets his conclusions.
“He clearly shows that the common human female ancestor of us all (Biblical Eve) lived within the biblical time frame of several thousand years ago,” she explains.
The instability of the mitochondrial DNA suggests it’s youth, fitting with the Biblical time frame.
His research also suggests that the mutations in the Y chromosome passed down identically from father to son can trace men back to one man, Adam.
While some experts agree the Jeason’s findings could alter our entire understanding of human history, there are many theories about how man came to be.
Not everyone is as convinced as Purdom — and some evolution scientists have totally dismissed his claims.
But still, the information is freaky.
We want to hear from YOU. Do you think Jeanson’s findings are proof the Book of Genesis is literally true?
