In The Beginning Was Adam Series

Contributed by Larry Turner on Jan 8, 2016

99% of human DNA is shared by everyone. It is the 1% that makes us unique. Having 99% of the same DNA stongly suggests a common ancestor. That one common ancestor is Adam.

One of my favorite characters in the Bible is Peter. I guess it’s because I can relate to him so much. He tries to do the right things and say the right words but often stumbles along the way. He was just a simple fisherman that was handed the most important assignment any man could have. ...read more
