EFFECTS of CHOICE
This article was posted on Wednesday, September 17, 2008
Certain genetic characteristics may have influenced people groups to make deliberate (or semi-deliberate) choices concerning the environment to which they migrated. For instance, people with genes for a thicker, more insulating layer of fat under their skin would tend to leave areas that were uncomfortably hot.
COMMON MEMORIES
The evidence for the bible’s account of human origins is more than just biological and genetic. Since all people have descended from Noah’s family, and a relatively short time ago, we would expect to find some memory of the catastrophic Flood in the stories and legends of many people groups. We might find the story distorted by time and retelling. In fact, an overwhelming number of cultures do have accounts that recall a world-destroying Flood. Often these have startling parallels to the true, original account (such as: eight people saved in a boat, the sending of birds, a rainbow and more).
CONCLUSION:
The dispersion at Babel broke up a large interbreeding group into small interbreeding group. This ensured that the resultant groups would have different mixes of genes for various physical features. By itself, this dispersion would ensure, in a short time, that there would be certain fixed differences in some of these groups commonly called “races.” In addition, the selection pressure of the environment would modify the existing combination of genes so that the physical characteristics of each group would tend to suit their environment.
There has been no simple-to-complex evolution of any genes for the genes were present already. The dominant features of the various people groups result from different combination of previously existing created genes, plus some minor degenerative changes , resulting from mutation (accidental changes which can inherited). The originally created (genetic) information has been either reshuffled or has degenerated, but has not been added to.
