What if God really did create Adam and Eve through genetic manipulation of the earth apes he had already created and they had several offspring and their children breed with each other. We all know that birth defects are common with inbreeding. At that time the only way for humans to reproduce was inbreeding. What if those defected off spring regressed in their evolutionary development because of the inbreeding and because of excessive and repetitive inbreeding of this sort they created different species of “ape men” such as the neanderthals and the other extinct hominids of the past. There is evidence that suggest modern man lived along side their less evolved relatives and may have existed prior to the neanderthals. Over time those less evolved hominids may have began to die off due to lack of intelligence and lack of survival skills and the coup de grace that wiped them out was the great flood. What if a select few had not regressed and became the modern humans we see today. could this explain evolution and creation. well it wouldn’t prove evolution because that’s more like devolution. just a theory I conjured up while smoking a blunt.
