Biblical Bottlenecks are not Bad
First, there was inherently no mutation load at Creation, so there would be no problem with Adam and Eve’s children intermarrying. Ditto the grandchildren of Noah.

Genetic Engineering of Humans
What’s your response going to be the first time you hear that a human has been cloned? How are you going to react the first you hear that a baby has been born that has been genetically modified? What are you going to do when you go to the doctor with something and your doctor says, “Oh! We can fix that using genetic engineering. I ask those questions because they are not for tomorrow. They are not ten years from now. Those are questions that we are going to be facing in the immediate near future because they’re already possible to do.
My response to “Plandemic, part 1”
I will pull no punches here. PLANDEMIC Part 1 is atrocious.

A Deluge of Data: why theory is struggling to keep up with modern genetics
Dr C talks about what it is like to be a geneticist in today's world. This is the first time in history where we have more 'data' than 'theory'. There is too much data! So be prepared for some of your cherished theories to be contradicted. This is a fun time to be a...
Don’t be Afraid of the Bible

Did Eve Live in Southern Africa?
Dr C discusses recent claims that the mother of every person alive on earth today lived in southern Africa, in what is now a vast desert. He points out several critical assumptions behind the conclusions and a couple of errors made by the researchers as they attempted to pinpoint the geographic location of the earliest humans.
