Ancient DNA set to rewrite human history
aqrinc:
Hi Beloved,
Now you are talking my language, it is a marvel to see how many gyrations humanity goes through to try to bring GOD and Christ Jesus down to managable size for themselves.
Rom 1:16-20 (GNB)
16 I have complete confidence in the gospel; it is God's power to save all who believe, first the Jews and also the Gentiles.
17 For the gospel reveals how God puts people right with himself: it is through faith from beginning to end. As the scripture says, "The person who is put right with God through faith shall live."
18 God's anger is revealed from heaven against all the sin and evil of the people whose evil ways prevent the truth from being known.
19 God punishes them, because what can be known about God is plain to them, for God himself made it plain.
20 Ever since God created the world, his invisible qualities, both his eternal power and his divine nature, have been clearly seen; they are perceived in the things that God has made. So those people have no excuse at all!
And lest we start boasting, here is the end of the matter.
Php 2:13 (MKJV)
For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.

I am tracing my family tree so I had a DNA sample done. I thought it was going to prove a relation to an ancestor from Virginia in the 1700's, no nothing so easy as that.
I get this package from the DNA people and basically said I was from the Russian steppes 30-40,000 years ago. I am from the helena haplogroup---she is one of the "seven daughters of Eve" who came from the Mesopotamian basin even longer ago.
So, I think "what a rip off".
I have been studying the first 2 chaps of Genesis. I don't know, maybe there is space in there for this kind of stuff. Ray talks about the Clovis Indians who were here 13,000 years ago. We know the Grand Canyon wasn't made in a day. So....
I just try to love my neighbor...that is so deep, I can barely manage that. :D

Hi Gena,
Love your neighbor; That is the least we are told to do.
But wait!! there is more:
Mat 5:43-48 (GNB)
43 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your friends, hate your enemies.'
44 But now I tell you: love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
45 so that you may become the children of your Father in heaven. For he makes his sun to shine on bad and good people alike, and gives rain to those who do good and to those who do evil.
46 Why should God reward you if you love only the people who love you? Even the tax collectors do that!
47 And if you speak only to your friends, have you done anything out of the ordinary? Even the pagans do that!
48 You must be perfect---just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
Then we get this. *There is nothing new under the sun*, but don't take my word for it look below.
Ecc 1:7-11 (CLV)
7 All the watercourses are flowing to the sea, Yet there is no filling of the sea; To the place from which the watercourses are flowing, There they return to go forth again."
8 All the words are weary; A man cannot utter it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, Nor is the ear filled with hearing."
9 What occurred once, it shall occur again, And what was done, it shall be done again. There is nothing at all new under the sun."
10 Is there anything of which one may say: See this, it is new? It has already occurred In eons that were before us?
11 There is no remembrance of former generations, And also for those who shall come after us, A remembrance of them shall not continue With those who shall come afterward."

Folks,
As I recall, Neander-thal is a valley in Germany where geologists found one jaw bone of what they supposed was the ancestor of a branch of mankind. One bone! Many assumptions have accumulated over the decades since then. Neanderthal is NOT a description of a human species... it is just a location in modern Germany. We are such suckers for anything published by a PhD. and look out if it is underwritten by a whole group of PhD's.

Ninny:
You guys are all so smart! You made me laugh! I love a good history/science lesson...or maybe it's just trivia!! Thanks IBob! I'm glad to know that those Neanderthals that I have known..can now be called by a different name that I shall NOT repeat on this forum!! hehehehe!! NO SUCH THING AS NEANDERTHAL??? what WILL we do?? So... PhD= P= :P h= ha! D= Duh!!
I KNEW that!! :D
