thank you both. I did not argue or imply belief in literal A&E or literal world- wide flood. Just the idea that a creationist religious? could live with the established genetic record of the races orgin and spread.
entirely possible: just for the sake of friendly argument: why do you say your typical terse "NO" to the possibility of one couple starting over again after surviving a wipeout? Even if jgnat knows there were more than two?
Take my case (hyothetical ): I come from the area smack in the middle the furthest reach of the slavic thrust west on one hand and the saxon -scandinavian -viking expansion on the other. . my wife (the anti-pode) is from the end tip arrow of one of the most geneticly diverse area in the orient with late spanish-american -japanese influence, but she is half chinese. it does not get much better than that. (Goebbel's nightmare) falcon. So: with inbreeding at the absolute minimum, why would the two of us not be a reasonable start after that super volcano or asteroid strike? or two omnivour shrews with food supply after the death of the dinosaurs?
to wit: there are some jws that I know in congregations in Houston TX, Huntsville AL , the space coast FL , Martin Marietta works that somehow sequester the bible fables in their minds and are fervent creationists, because they have to work to make things work. The mechanics? of human developments (which was the topic here) do not negate the 50% chance of creation vs the other possibility.
