you see your twisting it again, did the woman produce only daughters now?
look if I took a person from the darkest jungle and a person from say France as white as milk and test their DNA they both belong to the same descendant the first woman, NO other woman not a single person on this planet comes from another woman and you still want to hold this as truth?
 
What are they so?
I’m fairly familiar with both and don’t know what your talking about?
 
Are you Muslim or dinosaur? either way what ever you believe I believe your wrong and I have facts to prove I believe your wrong.
 
I mean obviously I’m not a dinosaur since dinosaurs were made up by socialists and vegan atheists
 
If God translated two humans. Couldn’t he translate/transport plants and animals to different locations?

After a mass extinction couldn’t God move new life onto the Earth?

Did humanity originate on Earth or were we created elsewhere and placed here?

In principle it’s possible, kind of like the panspermia idea, accept the move is done by God. But do we have any good reason to think it’s true?

I said I had an issue with posters who flat out reject theistic evolution. This means that they simply reject it without looking into it really.

I feel that theistic evolution is a very good way in describing creation. It doesn’t contradict Catholicism

First, don’t be offensive. I am not twisting, I am trying to explain it to you.

Each time a woman has no children, or has only daughters, her mitochondrial dna is not passed on to descendants. It does not mean she has no descendants.

My wife and I have two sons and a daughter. They all carry my wife’s dna. My daughter has no children; my sons cannot pass on my wife’s dna. My sons’ children carry the mitochondrial dna of my daughters-in-law. My wife exists — she really does — but her mitochondrial dna will not pass on.

EDIT: has no children, or has only sons, of course.

s/daughters/sons

Only daughters can pass on maternal mitochondrial DNA. Sons cannot pass it on. The Y-chromosome is the opposite, only fathers can pass it on, not daughters.

Mathew and Luke took them literally that’s good enough for me.

Matthew and Luke didn’t have the benefit of radiometric dating.

Why do you think that radiometric dating is reliable ?

Oh lawks. I know that but what I said what nonsense.

EDIT: corrections now in place (I hope).

Thank You! Finally someone has brought up Panspermia 😲

I don’t believe that we’re from an alien planet (perhaps another dimension) but one controversial ecologist made several interesting points:
  • Bad backs suggest humans evolved in a world with lower gravity
  • Sunburn hints humans were not designed to be exposed constantly to the sun
  • Humans are always ill, perhaps beacuse their body clocks have evolved to expect a 25 hour day - unlike Earth’s
  • People just feel like they are not at home on our planet 🌎
Outside of Genesis and the translation of Elijah and Enoch, I would point to the Cambrian explosion or Cambrian radiation as possible evidence of a massive reintroduction of life onto Earth.

Nothing about evolution is at odds with that. It’s simply a mechanism through which species form and change.

What should I be looking at?

Look at anthropology and what science has to say in regards to human beings and how old we are. Then after I would encourage you to look at Church teachings in regards to this matter and how theology plays a part.
 
Let’s look at two examples of the reliability of radiometric dating:
  1. the sample of the lava from the Mt. St. Helens crater (that had been observed to form and then cool in 1986) was analyzed in 1996 and contained so much argon-40 that it had a calculated “age” of 350,000 years - how does that work for you?
  2. The lava flow on Mt. Ngauruhoe, New Zealand less than 50 years old, yielded “ages” of up to 3.5 million years - how does that work for you?
