I saw this show that took three unrelated people from different parts of the world and did a mitochondrial DNA test on them and came up with one common ancestress. Do you think this is confirmation that all nations came from one couple.....Adam and Eve? What say you? Hope my spelling is right!

Yes. the concept of a Mitochondrial Eve has already been proven.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrial_Eve
though it is estimated she lived 140,000 years ago. Not quite in line with the literal bible.

True; however, it qualifies him for the Christian Christ. I am sorry but Judaism did not invent the messiah. God did. The messiah (though the word is hebrew) was a notion before Judaism was created but Moses. The Egyptians had it, and the Hindus have it. Neither of these were influenced by Judaism in the time this concept was formed. Also if the Christian Christ is the Messiah foretold in the scriptures in the same passages as the Jewish Messiah then why would the prophets of old mention a second coming? Such a notion would have been completely unnecessary to the people expecting the Christ/Messiah. The good news or message was in his FIRST coming not in the second. As far as the rest that is your interpretation of those passages. Who is to say that there isn't more interpretations of the passages than yours. Only God does and he hasn't spoken to you since who? Malachi! BTW: I have asked and I have never received an answer: Where do you get this concept that the messiah must do everything in one lifetime? or is it just assumed? Also just to point out I'm not trying to pick a fight or anything I am just trying to stretch your mind a little. I just see a lot of holes in your claim and the claim of the modern Christians that only one of your messiahs exist.

Yes. That's not surprising. Didn't we all come from the same parents, Adam and Eve? That must serve as a propeller for all of us to act as brothers and sisters and pave way for understanding, respect and love.

We now know that the story of Adam & Eve is not true. When members of the same family bear children, the offsspring are always born with genetic defects like sterility and Miongolism(Down Syndrome). If you want proof, marry your cousin and have children.

Mitochondria D.N.A. usually only descends from the Female.
So, if we are all Sons and Daughters of God, I guess that would be Goddess. Or Mrs. God.
Mitochondria have also Evolved through the Eons, and have separate D.N.A. from humans-they are descended from Virus-like organisms.
Just like us.

I agree with you. And some scientists are saying that the first parents was a single man that they are calling Adam, and a single woman that are calling Eve.

All living things have DNA in common to one degree or another.

Yes, and it follows the female side of the family.

I suppose that it's possible that DNA can link us all together. It might be a useful witness to someone.

We share dna with the bananas and 99% with chimps ( I think it's chimps).
