Evolution begins with mutation/s occurring in a single organism.
It doesn't seem to matter what any minimum viable population is in that case, it keeps starting from below that number and, apparently, does so frequently and with regularity.
You are confusing a single mutation with speciation.
You can't populate the earth with only 2 individuals.
Evolution is about traits becoming dominant in a population.
Not an individual experiencing one mutation and becoming a new species.
If that happened the species would instantly go extinct because it will be unable to breed.

All you have done is shifted the creators, who you have no, absolutely no validation of their heritage for source.
And your "source" is...?
I thought Humans were made in the Gods (plural ) image?

This does:
Life Carriers: www.urantia.org...
Life Establishment on our planet: www.urantia.org...
The exact circumstances of the origin of The Urantia Book are unknown. The book and its publishers do not name a human author. Instead, it is written as if directly presented by numerous celestial beings appointed to the task of providing an "epochal" religious revelation.

A source of what statement
I didn't make a statement to need a source, I questioned you
What's wrong with you

You accuse me directly of believing in evolution. But haven't apologized and now deny your own belief system.
I hear a Rooster crowing.

Ohh, sorry, I didn't think you were a creationist, my apologies then

Google Cargo Cults of WWII, then get a clue.
Whaddafk does "creation" mean to you anyway?

Not yuk, because it was the plan. Using perfect DNA that had no flaws would have been Adam, in theory. Over time the DNA would be altered, particularly when UV rays were strong after the "firmament" of clouds over the Earth ended when the flood happened. DNA was then subject to being altered by photons of UV rays hitting all the animals and people on
And I thinkEarth. So in today's time diversity is our strength but initially it was superior DNA is my understanding.
Not a bit of that paragraph makes any scientific sense. Please define "superior DNA" for instance. How can DNA be perfect?
I don't know about perfect, but We have a large amount of non functional DNA.
I imagine 'perfect' DNA to have a high epigenetic potential variability, no horizontally transferred sequences, longer and better protected Telomeres and no non-functional gene sequences. I imagine also that cell apoptosis would be more balanced in such an organism.
Everything for that particular organism to survive and reproduce maximally with no wastage.
I think the so called Junk DNA does have a purpose, we just don't know yet.
I'm pretty sure it does have a purpose, it's just non coding, which is why it's called junk.
I posted a link but it was backed by creationist sources, so I deleted it. Sorry to waste your time.

Maybe you better Google cargo cults because if you believe that cargo cults has anything to do with how humanity came into existence is even related to what you are pushing as your origins belief, you are delusional
So what is it, life created or evolved, or any other options you want to assume, please explain.

Keep dodging, I asked you what 'created' means to you. How life was brought here.
These are simple questions.
Please explain.

Use 'Logic' too, "Unit" . Instead of digs, lulz.

What I find the most icy about this whole tale is the incest factor concerning both humans and animals alike.
That would mean that Noah’s family bred mother to son, brother to sister, uncle to niece , exc.. to create the human race..
Yuk!!!
Creepy or not, repopulating the world from a base of two animals is biologically impossible.
Minimum viable population
Evolution begins with mutation/s occurring in a single organism.
It doesn't seem to matter what any minimum viable population is in that case, it keeps starting from below that number and, apparently, does so frequently and with regularity.
... at least the Creationists only have to explain the one instance.
