One Flesh Pt#3

Now you might be wondering, is there any scientific evidence of this phenomenon. 

The answer is yes.  Studies have been done in this area. One recent study involved fruit flies, and it was discovered that the first male that the females mated with had more effect on the offspring than any subsequent matings. You can read more on that study here.

In earlier times, studies were conducted and documented showing this same phenomenon between horses and quaggas.  Other studies also crossed with zebras. Now one could argue that since these studies were done a long time ago and people weren't aware of DNA then perhaps the studies were flawed. Possibly, but those studies were peer reviewed in their day. So long as the scientific method was followed, then the evidences shown in those studies is still valid. 

Modern genetics theory does not explain this phenomenon. According to the DNA alone, this should not happen.  One of the prevailing theories is that DNA and other information is absorbed from the seminal fluid into the immature unfertilized eggs, where even though it doesn't fertilize them, the material is stored there until the egg is fertilized, at which point it becomes part of the genetic makeup. Other theories propose that material outside the DNA is responsible. 

Many naysayers state that there is no evidence of this phenomenon. However, a common thing in modern science is that often facts, observations, and evidence that do not support the prevailing theory are hidden or disregarded. These people want to believe that they can do whatever they want without consequence. This is why they have rejected God. So when evidence is brought out that show that their actions might have long lasting consequences, it makes them uncomfortable. They would rather ignore the possibility than to own up to their own sins. Admitting the possibility of telegony means admitting that a loose and immoral lifestyle can have damaging consequences, and that God was right all along.
