Several of the judgments that have occurred in the past have either directly or indirectly affected human genetics (as well as the genetics of other organisms).
- See also: Gene Pool Issues (emphasis on judgments and events that have had a detrimental effect on the "gene pool."
- See also: Genetic Aspect of Sin (emphasis on the transmission of the "sin nature" from generation to generation).
The judgment on the cross will also have an impact on genetics (by way of the resurrection).
- Other aspects of judgment can be found at this "parent topic": Judgment.
Scripture Pages that Link to Here
- The first of such judgments. The "sin nature" would be passed-on from generation to generation. It is inherited from our ancestors.
- God warns of an impending ecological devastation. This destruction would have immense implications - for the whole environment, as well as for the organisms that would survive. (For instance, the genetic variation within each species would be severely truncated.)
- The genealogical record shows that lifespans are getting shorter, compared to those before the Flood! This is probably due to both ecological and genetic factors.
- Also the confusion of languages, a judgment that caused family groups to go their separate ways. This further reduced the "gene pool" within the groups, and further reduced their average lifespans.
