The mother of all living

“And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.”

A person has two kinds of DNA, one comes from the mother and the other comes from both the mother and the father. The DNA that comes from the mother is called mitochondrial DNA while the other kind is called nuclear DNA. It is interesting to note that scientists talk about a mitochondrial Eve, that is, there is a matrilineal ancestor from whom all humans are descended.

Mitochondrial DNA was discovered in the 1960s but God knew all about it at the beginning. Adam understood the same issue as he called his wife Eve because she was the mother of all living.

As science and history develop we are continually amazed that new evidence supports the information the Bible, even though many people refuse to recognise this fact. When the Lord Jesus Christ came into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, His enemies asked Him to stop the people from crying out but He said that if He stopped them then the stones would cry out (Luke 19: 40).
