A Genetic Orchard or a Genetic Tree?
In this video, Richard compares the concept of a “genetic orchard” with that of a “genetic tree”. The idea of a single tree fits in with evolutionary theory, according to which every living thing is descended from the original generation of a single biological cell. On the other hand, the idea of an orchard of trees, fits more with the Biblical teaching that everything was created “according to its kind”. The branches of each tree represent adaptation and diversification into different species within a single created kind. Richard expresses his confidence that as more is discovered within the coming years, evidence will grow against the commonality that would be expected from the single tree model, thus adding support to the Biblical account of creation.
