Black and White

We recently have seen in the news the two sets of twins born into a British family where one twin is black and the other is white. This incredible act of God is seen as some sort of miraculous mystery. I have to admit it may not seem normal to those that don’t live on the farm, but for some of us who have ventured into genetics, it can be easily duplicated. We have on several accounts taken a black ram and white ewe and produced one black offspring and one white offspring. This all goes back to the original writings of creation found in Genesis. When God created the animals, He put all the genetic information needed to accommodate the vast arrays of different breeds, we see to this very day.
When Noah was commanded by God to place two of every species onto the Ark nothing was lost. All the genetic information was intact, as it had been from the beginning of creation. What we see in retrospect is environmental adaptation and selective breeding altered by man. Incredible, because the hand of God has taken something and designed it with such simplicity and complexity all at the same time.
