Some theist explain me : After the Flood when all the humans were dead except for Noah, his three sons and their wives

If they reproduced within this very small population there would have been an accumulation of genetic diseases and eventualy the population couldn't have survived. Or the result would have been a population of idiots: us. ![]() Maybe I'm not too far from the truth: I know I'm pretty crazy to post this. ![]() |

Standard YEC answer: the gene pool was still without significant errors in Noah’s time, so incest was allowed. By Moses’ time, so many genetic mistakes had accumulated (because of sin) that incest was prohibited.
Of course that makes them moral relativists, but well... |

But if all the different races of the world are descended from this small group of brothers then to get six foot tall red headed Irishmen and three foot tall woolly hair pygmies we must have evolved. So the Noah story supports evolution

Of course considering the concept of the Christian God, then it could be a belief that God directed this evolution (except that all humans regardless of race are composed of the same basic DNA structure and one race is not more genetically advanced than another) so I am not sure evolution would be the correct word nor mutation. |
