...On average, human mitochondrial DNA sequences differ at 10 positions. The biblical model predicts a range of diversity that accurately captures this value. In contrast, the evolutionary timescale (and, by extension, the old-earth creation timescale) predicts levels of genetic diversity that are 12–29 times off  the real DNA differences that we see today (124–290 mitochondrial DNA differences versus 10).

where
d = DNA differences between two individuals
r = the measured mutation rate in the species or lineage

Science proves that we were created by God.

Thanks. Articles like this just don’t compute for me. :-)

It means you don’t mess with superman’s cape
you don’t spit into the wind
you don’t pull the mask off that old lone ranger
and you don’t mess around with GOD.

GOD, The real creator of DNA. It was a big bang
allright, but it was GOD’s big bang that created
us. The odds of it happening any other way is
beyond astronomical.

Man says to God, “We don’t need you anymore....We can create man just like you created Adam and Eve, from dirt.”

God says, “Ok, show me.”

Man picks up some dirt.

God says, “Uh Uh......you make your own dirt.”

Yes, those who believe in the big bang theory believe that first there was nothing at all and then it blew up. Pretty silly.
Of course God created the world, the heavens and us.

Just more people pushing a misguided agenda. The Bible does not indicate the age of the earth yet some people are convinced it does. It’s a distraction and actually turns some people away from becoming Christians.

“Yes, those who believe in the big bang theory believe that first there was nothing at all and then it blew up.”

These verses seem applicable. I particularly like the last verse.

Romans 1:

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
