...hogwash ! ..population genetics DOES NOT support the existence
of a Biblical Adam & Eve:

"Sscientific evidence shows that Adam and Eve could not have existed,
at least in the way they’re portrayed in the Bible. Genetic data show
no evidence of any human bottleneck as small as two people: there are
simply too many different kinds of genes around for that to be true.
There may have been a couple of “bottlenecks” (reduced population
sizes) in the history of our species, but the smallest one not
involving recent colonization is a bottleneck of roughly 10,000-15,000
individuals that occurred between 50,000 and 100,000 years ago. That’s
as small a population as our ancestors had, and—note—it’s not two
individuals.
Further, looking at different genes, we find that they trace back to
different times in our past. Mitochondrial DNA points to the genes in
that organelle tracing back to a single female ancestor who lived
about 140,000 years ago, but that genes on the Y chromosome trace back
to one male who lived about 60,000-90,000 years ago. Further, the bulk
of genes in the nucleus all trace back to different times—as far back
as two million years. This shows not only that any “Adam” and “Eve”
(in the sense of mitochondrial and Y-chromosome DNA alone) must have
lived thousands of years apart, but also that there simply could not
have been two individuals who provided the entire genetic ancestry of
modern humans. Each of our genes “coalesces” back to a different
ancestor, showing that, as expected, our genetic legacy comes from
many different individuals. It does not go back to just two
individuals, regardless of when they lived."
