Well, hell.
Hey, Mab, you might want to see if you can find the article mentioned in this article, since the kid claims that genetics supports the Flood. |

It was published in the Answers in Genesis' in-house peer-reviewed-wannabee "technical journal". What should we expect from it, other than Young Earth drivel? |

[Shrug] Just mighta been interesting to see how the kid managed it, if for nothing else than the mental contortionism. |

The kid writes well, I'll give him that. The biggest problem his paper has (after a cursory glance) is that he uses human only genetic variation to show that we went through a bottleneck recently (this is, he claims, in accordance with a global flood - although he never says anything about when this bottleneck took place). If there was indeed a flood within the last 10,000 years that killed of all animals (but two of each), then all animals should also show evidence of this bottleneck. His paper is just cherry-picking to support a desired conclusion. |
