If someone were to stand on a pulpit and say that all humans come from a first woman, Eve, and that this is an indisputable biblical truth, we would probably pay little or very little attention. But if a team of researchers were to publish in the prestigious scientific journal Nature that mitochondrial DNA proves that all of today’s humanity comes from a single woman, we would certainly not be so quick to dismiss it.
The findings are not even current. That famous article, “Mitochondrial DNA and human evolution” was published in 1987 and was the first study to uncover the family tree of human evolution. Moreover, it came to that puzzling conclusion: all human beings come from a single woman, who was quickly christened “Mitochondrial Eve”.
Just like the Bible saying there is a beginning and an end, something scientists disputed thinking the universe was eternal until in the 1950's that was proven false, the Bible is proved right once again.
I can't tell you the number of times I have been made fun of by "people of science" for saying humanity had a "Mitochondrial Eve", but here I am smiling back at them............again.
