Did We Domesticate Ourselves?

This is Ken Ham, on a mission to call the church back to God’s Word and the gospel.
Transcript
I once saw a study that claimed that evolution selected for “tameness,” which somehow resulted in genetic changes as we “domesticated ourselves.” But this new “study,” which is really just a story, contradicts previous evolutionary stories about survival of the toughest and strongest.
And this doesn’t reflect reality. Throughout history, we see powerful bullies who rose to the top by being evil. Actually, this confirms God’s Word! Humanity isn’t getting better. We started out perfect, but sin destroyed that, and we’ve been tainted ever since. When we look at the world through God’s Word, what we see makes sense.
