The intersection of biblical studies, genetics, history, genealogy, and geography.
There is no Y Chromosome Clock
The 'molecular clock hypothesis' is critical for evolutionary theory. If it fails, many evolutionary speculations will fall as well. Yet, there is abundant evidence that mutations in the Y chromosome have happened at different rates among different people groups. If...
Evolution’s Wobbly Foundation
During the process of protein translation, the cell matches three letters in DNA for each amino acid. But there are 4 x 4 x 4 = 64 possible 3-letter combination and only 20 amino acids. This means that most amino acids have more than one code and that many mutations...
Adam and Eve did not live 200,000 years ago
Dr Rob explains an issue in the creation vs. evolution debate: how fast mutations accumulate. The rate we can measure in families (the 'genealogical' rate) is much faster than the rate at which it is claimed mutations accumulate in the population (the 'phylogenetic'...

Did we evolve from 10,000 people in Africa?
The oft-heard claim is that Homo sapiens evolved from Homo erectus within a small African population with an effective size of about 10,000 individuals. What, exactly is an "effective" population size and how is that different from a "census" population size?...
Seven reasons to believe that Adam was real
This presentation was produced for a conference at the Scandinavian School of Theology in Uppsala, Sweden. I was speaking as a representative of Creation Ministries International, but since this recording is similar to my talk The Historical Adam: theological...
Old fathers are genetic poison
The idea that old men contribute more mutations to their children than young men is not controversial. The application of this thought to people who lived 'biblical' lifespans, however, is. Here, I discuss some new information on the subject and talk a little about...
Apples are the perfect fruit…for discussing how things were designed to change
The apple gives us several excellent illustrations for understanding biblical genetics. The genetics of the apple tree is super complicated, yet always fascinating. From one domestication event several thousand years ago we now have over 10,000 apple varieties, and...
The Genetics of Modern Jews
0 "Who is a Jew?" and "Are the Jews genetically distinct?" are important and interesting questions. We have a biblical record of where they came from, of the number of people who married into Israel over time, and of the number of people were were dispersed from...
