Here is a thought for the evolutionists and others. We each have two parents and they each have two parents and so on. Now if we allow 25 years for a generation and follow this progression, each of us alive had to have 2,4,8,16,32....and so on, ancestors. Do this for 10 generations (250 years and you had to have 512 ancestors. Ok now keep going and after 33 generations you have 4294967296 ancestors, nearly 5 billion. That takes you back to the year 1200 or so. (That is nearly as many people as there are presently on the planet.) Go back 2000 years or 25 generations and you had 604462909807315000000000 ancestors, for one person!!! Do a spreadsheet and see how it works for yourself. Arguments about intermarriages and so forth are irrelevant as you had to have all these genetic donors to exist at this moment, regardless of who married whom. This of course is a paradox, or flawed logic. It requires some solution, or is it true and history just a bunch of lies. Any volunteers?
