Inbuilt Adaptation: Evolution Refuted
https://youtu.be/FIcdJOS6TyQ
Duration: 23. 03 minutes
Living Organisms in individuals and in groups have inbuilt options to change physically according to alterations in the environment etc. The changes take place quickly, are heritable, and are controlled by genetic switches.
This phenomenon helps us understand some aspects of the Biblical narrative. It also counters the Theory of Evolution.

3. Feast of Shavuot (Weeks) and Ruth
Celebrating the Written Law and Oral Tradition
Beginning from the night of Saturday (11 June 2016) to sundown on Sunday is the Feast of Shavuoth.
This feast celebrates the giving of Torah.
It is customary to read the Book of Ruth on this day.
Ruth represents both the Written Torah and the Oral Law.
It was commanded that no Ammonite or Moabite would be allowed to enter the Community of Israel.
Deuteronomy 23 (NIV):
3 No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the Lord, not even in the tenth generation.
The Oral Tradition understood that this applied ONLY to the males.
Females were acceptable.
Ruth came from Moab and attached herself to Israel.
From Ruth is descended King David and from David the future Messiah.
Ruth 4:
13 So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife. When he made love to her, the Lord enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son. 14 The women said to Naomi: 'Praise be to the Lord, who this day has not left you without a guardian-redeemer. May he become famous throughout Israel! 15 He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age. For your daughter-in-law, who loves you and who is better to you than seven sons, has given him birth.'
16 Then Naomi took the child in her arms and cared for him. 17 The women living there said, 'Naomi has a son!' And they named him Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the father of David.
18 This, then, is the family line of Perez:
Perez was the father of Hezron,
19 Hezron the father of Ram,
Ram the father of Amminadab,
20 Amminadab the father of Nahshon,
Nahshon the father of Salmon,
21 Salmon the father of Boaz,
Boaz the father of Obed,
22 Obed the father of Jesse,
and Jesse the father of David.
So too, Naamah came from Ammon and was one of the wives of Solomon and the mother of King Rehoboam who also will probably be an ancestor of the Future Messiah.
1-Kings 14:
21 Rehoboam son of Solomon was king in Judah. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel in which to put his Name. His mother's name was Naamah; she was an Ammonite.
