A friend of mine recently got the result from his Genographic Project DNA test. While there is a lot of data for him still to wade through there is one thing he has found out so far. He has Viking blood coursing through his veins.
I really hope to participate in the project at some point but I'm afraid I won't find Viking blood, or Scottish, or something else fun and instead it'll be French or Swiss.
I think as Americans we are particularly fascinated with our ancestry. Few of us have a truly homogeneous background. We're made up of people from all over the world (or at least Europe). So the idea of "where we come from" is a lingering question.
Where we come from though is an easy question to answer. We are created by God, made in His image, and it is the spilled blood of Jesus that fills our hearts.
