I think Glenn is considering an initial population of only two adults. (5
independent human adults counting Noah's sons' wives). Walter, how does this
correction affect your argument?
Also, how do the different races figure in here? Don't the people who
advocate a recent global flood have only a few tens of generations to get
the races differentiated? Walter, do you think this is possible?
