You don't say!

While doing what I love doing, READING, I came across a particular passage in the textbook I have for World History and it struck me that they might be hitting upon something astonishing -- we can all trace our origins to one particular place.... no way!

The passage reads:

Scientific theories can also be astonishing. Comparisons of genetic material
from contemporary humans around the world, for instance, have led some
scientists to claim that all of us can trace our ancestry to an "African Eve."
This single early hominid -- if the theory proves correct --lived in Africa
200,000 years ago.

Interesting.... really. I totally agree that we can trace our ancestry back to a single place at a single time period, but I don't agree that we can trace it to a "single early homonid" because it takes two humans (no matter what form of human scientists have conjured up over the years) to create another or others. Also, Africa wouldn't be the best choice for a starting point, but they're getting closer -- they most likely are referring to areas along the Nile River. But I still think it all began in the Mesopotamian region, in present day Middle East.

This particular "amazing theory" isn't so amazing and it's just that -- a theory. They could have been a little more original in the creation of this theory; I mean, if one would just read the Bible they can stumble upon the fact that all humans around the world can be traced back to one particular place and time period: Adam and Eve, The Garden of Eden (the first inhabitants on Earth).

I like the attempt by scientists to figure out the origins of life, but do you really think God would make it so easy for humans to mentally fathom the creation of life? I don't and that's the reason I rely on faith and The Bible. You should really try it -- you'll get results.
