6Days tries again:
Of course genetics helps confirm the truth of God's Word.
Jeffrey Tompkins PhD "Yet another study, this one published in the journal Nature, ( exomes reveals the recent origin of most human protein-coding variants) accessed even more extensive data and unintentionally confirmed the recent human history described in Genesis."
(Barbarian notes that Jeffery the agronomist doesn't even agree with the paper he cites, written by real geneticists)
In fact, the results suggest the opposite conclusion
(6days removes the citation)
So I'll restore it.
We estimate that approximately 73% of all protein-coding SNVs and approximately 86% of SNVs predicted to be deleterious arose in the past 5,000–10,000 years. The average age of deleterious SNVs varied significantly across molecular pathways, and disease genes contained a significantly higher proportion of recently arisen deleterious SNVs than other genes....Furthermore, European Americans had an excess of deleterious variants in essential and Mendelian disease genes compared to African Americans, consistent with weaker purifying selection due to the Out-of-Africa dispersal. Our results better delimit the historical details of human protein-coding variation, show the profound effect of recent human history on the burden of deleterious SNVs segregating in contemporary populations, and provide important practical information that can be used to prioritize variants in disease-gene discovery.

Wrong... You are talking about the evolutionist interpreting the results within their belief system of millions of years
As you learned, the data is consistent with very long periods of time, but cannot be reconciled to a few thousand years. It shows that harmful mutations take longer to be removed from founder populations.
Barbarian observes:
I notice that Jeffrey has, on Creationwiki, claimed that his degree is in Genetics, but his alma mater says it's in growing crops.
Would you agree that attacking the person, or trying to discredit their education
Pointing out that he misrepresented his education? It doesn't discredit his ability to understand farming. It discredits his honesty and his ability to understand genetics.
rather than attack their argument is ad hominem?
When you presented him as an expert on genetics, you put the question on the table. Turns out, he's not a geneticist at all, and that dishonesty does no small damage to his credibilty - and yours.
"He has a PhD in genetics"... according even to atheist 'Rationalwiki'.
Clemson, where he graduated, says "agronomy."
Dr. Robert Carter... Human genetics confirms the Bible.

Barbarian observes:
The problem is that there are many, many alleles for each human gene locus. If they all evolved by mutation, then there is not enough time on the creationist belief for all of them to have formed.
This is based on a major misconception about genetics. Robert thinks that Adam and Eve could have all of the dozens of alleles present today for each gene locus. But we only have two chromosomes. Which means that Adam and Eve could have had at most, four different alleles between them. The dozens or even hundreds of others must have evolved. Even 50,000 years would be entirely too short a time for that to have happened.
The "problem" is your lack of understanding of genetics,
See above. You don't know what you're talking about, so you were easy to sucker into that argument.
The issue of you rejecting God's creation in Genesis is a separate issue.
Dr. Georgia Purdom (molecular biology) "One of the most compelling genetic evidences for an original human couple created by God is mitochondrial DNA research done by creation geneticist, Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson....He clearly shows that the common human female ancestor of us all (biblical Eve) lived within the biblical timeframe of several thousand years ago.”
Georgia has another issue. "Mitochondrial Eve" wouldn't be the first woman. She would merely be the last woman who was the ancestor of every human living today.
Dr. Purdom is discussing how genetics supports God's Word of the BIBLICAL Eve.
She got a little confused. "Mitochondrial Eve" is not the first woman. And the evidence is that mitochondrial Eve lived about 200,000 years ago.
