“This feeling of stress triggers a cascade of physiological consequences. The hypothalamus and pituitary gland in the brain release hormones that cause the release of cortisol from the adrenal glands located on the kidneys. Cortisol increases heart rate, among other things, readying the body for 鈥渇ight鈥� or 鈥渇light.鈥� Acutely, the release of cortisol is beneficial and helps you cope with whatever is urgently being demanded of you. But if the stress becomes chronic, maladaptive things begin to happen. Normally, the release of cortisol turns the hypothalamus and pituitary off, stopping the release of hormone, which in turn stops the further release of cortisol from the adrenal glands. It鈥檚 a nice, clean, negative feedback loop. But in the chronically stressed, the loop breaks. The brain stops reacting to cortisol. Our natural, automatic shutoff valve stops working. The brain keeps releasing hormone, and the adrenal glands keep dumping cortisol into the bloodstream, even when the stressful thing that initially triggered the stress response is no longer around. Chronic, elevated levels of cortisol have been associated with a weakened immune system, deficits in short-term memory, chronic fatigue syndrome, anxiety disorders, and depression.”

“However, there is a way to know for certain that Noah鈥檚 Flood and the Creation story never happened: by looking at our mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA).聽 Mitochondria are the 鈥渃ellular power plants鈥� found in all of our cells and they have their own DNA which is separate from that found in the nucleus of the cell.聽 In humans, and most other species that mitochondria are found in, the father鈥檚 mtDNA normally does not contribute to the child鈥檚 mtDNA; the child normally inherits its mtDNA exclusively from its mother.聽 This means that if no one鈥檚 genes have mutated, then we all have the same mtDNA as our brothers and sisters and the same mtDNA as the children of our mother鈥檚 sisters, etc. This pattern of inheritance makes it possible to rule out 鈥減opulation bottlenecks鈥� in our species鈥� history.聽 A bottleneck is basically a time when the population of a species dwindled to low numbers.聽 For humans, this means that every person born after a bottleneck can only have the mtDNA or a mutation of the mtDNA of the women who survived the bottleneck. This doesn鈥檛 mean that mtDNA can tell us when a bottleneck happened, but it can tell us when one didn鈥檛 happen because we know that mtDNA has a rate of approximately one mutation every 3,500 years (Gibbons 1998; Soares et al 2009). So if the human race were actually less than 6,000 years old and/or 鈥渆verything on earth that breathed died鈥� (Genesis 7:22) less than 6,000 years ago, which would be the case if the story of Adam and the story of Noah鈥檚 flood were true respectively, then every person should have the exact same mtDNA except for one or two mutations.聽 This, however, is not the case as human mtDNA is much more diverse (Endicott et al 2009), so we can know for a fact that the story of Adam and Eve and the story of Noah are fictional. 聽 There”

“As an orangutan cannot embrace higher mathematics or comprehend the architecture and operation of a computer, we humans __ so good at loudly proclaiming our intelligence and applauding our own doltish displays of cerebral gymnastics __ cannot begin to understand the true structure and functioning of the Universe.”

“We spent days and weeks doing nothing, calling one another ten times a day to schedule our nothing-doing.”
