"The Evolutionary scientists who believe that man existed for over a million years have an almost insurmountable problem. Using the assumption of 43 years for an average human generation, the population growth over a million years would produce 23,256 consecutive generations. We calculate the expected population by starting with one couple one million years ago and use the same assumptions of a 43 year generation and 2.5 children per family...The evolutionary theory of a million years of growth would produce trillions trillions trillions trillions of people that should be alive today on our planet. To put this in perspective, this number is vastly greater than the total number of atoms in our vast universe."

"Researchers suggest that virtually all modern men-99% of them,says one scientist-are closely related genetically and share genes with one male ancestor, dubbed 'Y-chromosome Adam'
"We are finding that humans have very,very shallow genetic roots which go back very recently to one ancestor...That indicates that there was an origin in a specific location on the globe, and then it spread out from there"

Funny, when I run a Google search on this article I only get four results and not surprisingly, they are all on Christian propaganda websites.

The "U.S. News & World Report" credit at the end is somewhat misleading. The text was taken from "The Signature of God" by Grant R Jeffrey, a book which has been shown to be full of errors and outright lies:

Gospel (scroll down to "The Signature of God by Grant R Jeffrey")

"Jeffrey makes great archaeological claims to confirm the Bible, but extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence which is lacking in his book. Jeffrey quotes from books printed in the 1800’s to make his extraordinary archaeological claims. These books are out of date. One should use the latest evidence. The problem is that the latest evidence shows how wrong he is. He needs to refer to specialists in the field to confirm his findings. There have been a number of big claims that have fizzled out after careful reevaluation. Let’s look at several examples."

Did you think you would find it on an evolutionist propaganda website?

You're quoting a Christian website?
Can you debunk the OP yourself without using google?

You are correct. Falsehood and misinformation have never faired well in our camp!
