Since everyone is descended from Noah, shouldn't our DNA match that of the Jews?

Question

And since National Geographic tells me that it doesn't, is that sufficient evidence to doubt the accuracy of the Bible?

P.S. regardless of the Creation stories, it still all comes down to Noah and his family, unless you want to conveniently invent another explanation.

Answer 1

Hi 3332nd brother.

Answer 2

Why don't you ask a geneticist for a constructive examination of what the Bible stated.

8 people
Noah, Noah's wife, three sons of Noah and wife, three daughter-in-laws each with their own pair of parents and 4 grandparents!

All I ever see is empty objections. There was a scientist, actually I think that it was in National Geographic about 10 years ago, he made this same outrageous claim that if we all were from Noah and Noah's wife.

Such Bible critics don't even go to the trouble of reading what it says and thereby prove what Phd means.
See for yourself: BS, MS, Phd.

BS you can maybe figure out. Replace m with "more." And pile it higher and deeper for the Phd.

When such educated people are so moronic it makes a joke out of the whole business of education.

One wonders if these people all pass their test by mobile phone!

Answer 3

Currently evolutionary theories do teach that all people are descended from a single human female. Because male and female DNA deteriorate differently, there is not yet a test for a common male ancestor.

But note that Noah came hundreds of years BEFORE Abraham. So not all descedents of Noah are going to be descendents of Abraham. Abraham was descended from one of Noah's three sons Shem, and through a great,great....grandson named Eber (the source of the word Hebrew). The Bible list over 70 other family lines from Noah during just the first four generations, well before Abraham was born.

So the Bible correctly states that while we are all descendents of a single parents (Adam and Eve) and of a single family (Noah and his three sons), we are not all from the bloodline of Abraham. Once again science agrees with the Bible.

Answer 4

DNA does have differences in it. They cannot actually trace the fathers back through history, but using mitochondrial DNA they can trace the mothers.
According to what I have read, science has determined that there is an "Eve" from whom all are descended.
I don't know what source in National Geographic you are referring to. I personally found one of the most interesting works on this a book by an archeologist who is, at best, an agnostic. His book ( I believe) is entitled The Search for Sodom and Gomorrah." I read it several years ago.

Answer 5

Hmm but even if national geographic is right and they are right most of the time, how does science explain human DNA?

or any DNA for that matter?

I mean how did the first life evolve? was it a single organism, or a multitude of them who all came about around the same time and developed similar traits like eyes, ears etc.

Too much uncertainty to be sure of anything. And the common ancestor thing doesnt cut it either, what were we before all that??

Answer 6

Noah came from Adam or did people forget the first man? Atom came from God the Potter otherwise we all would just be clay. The top and ultimate scientist God has your answer a very true and proven evidence. Who can find out the unsearchable wisdom of God? Not one finger print has matched anothers.

Answer 7

Mitochondrial DNA only comes from your mother, so the only changes to it come through mutations. These occur at a known rate so you can figure out how long it would take for them to all match if you came from a single female.

They will match world wide and that implies a rather small population. But it would have take 150,000 years for the DNA to change enough.

Answer 8

If you are of European descent, your DNA would match Noah's son Japheth.Besides ,Noah was not a Jew.There was no such thing as Jews until after the Exodus,really.Japheth's brother Shem was more a father to the Jews and Persians.

Answer 9

Your ignorance of genealogy is your problem in this case. Noah was an ancestor of the Jews who were the descendants of Judah.

Noah -> SHEM -> ARPHAXAD -> CAINAN -> SALA -> EBER -> PELEG -> RAGAU -> SARUCH -> NAHOR -> TERAH -> ABRAHAM -> ISSAC -> JACOB -> JUDAH

A lot of population can be generated in 15 generations.

As an aside: All races can be scientifically shown to come from one local source of genetic code at the present data available.

Answer 10

Noah was before the Israelites. The Israelites are the followers of Moses who followed him to Israel, the home of the Jews. If you are looking for DNA, you have to follow the Ashkenazi genes(Eastern European), Shepardi(of Latin decent), Romanoite(of Italy and Greece), and Mizrahi(Middle East), to find Jewish DNA.

Answer 11

Noah had four sons and they brought four wives with them... That means one for every race, Native Americans, Oriental, White, and Black (or whatever four skin colors). Also you have to take into consideration mutations, which are a proven and have increased the human's genome. And I also agree with Lost and Found above me about if evolution is true than everything reproduced from those two human beings who were able to reproduce.
