Terry Gray says that the "Adam & Eve" gene evidence, alternative to the
multi-generational hypothesis, does not "present any problems for
evolutionists."

I wonder.

If the major hominid lines once supposed ancestral to man are NOT, how is this
not a problem? Will the evolutionits now "tut tut" and say, well, we shall
find other lines by and by?

Where I come from, that is not called science, that is called wishful
thinking.

Also, the sudden appearance of a distinct line of vastly more complex
creatures than have ever appeared before seems to me a great problem indeed,
especially for those insisting on animal ancestry for man.

One does not get rid of a problem merely by wishing it away, or saying it is
not so.
