Genesis 17:5, Abraham to be the "Father of a Multitude"
Recommended prerequisite reading:
Abraham is the most probable founder of the Y-Chromosome DNA Haplogroup F. Connecting this super-haplogroup to Abraham will of course receive much criticism from the so-called "Secular" Educational Establishment and Population Geneticists in general.

Compare above map with: Haplogroup Map of the World.Y-Haplogroup F is the father of about 90 percent of the current world population of males. Suggesting Abraham to be the father of such a large percentage is most certainly alarming to many, but it shouldn't be considering how close Abraham was generationally to Noah and Shem, not to mention the prophetic promises made to him.
The main obstacle to connecting Abraham to Haplogroup F is the official timeframe estimation of the group Founder living some 45,000 years ago, yet Abraham lived approximately 4,000 years ago. Of course that is a massive problem, but how reliable are the dating tools used to conclude on such estimations? Please read the article: Are radiometric dating methods reliable?
So what evidence connects Abraham to Haplogroup F? The connection is deduced largely by recognizing the reported frequencies of haplogroups within Jewish and Arab populations, within peoples likely descended from Abraham's sons sent to the East, and within peoples of the much debated lost ten tribes of Israel, regards here as Joes.
It shouldn't be difficult in the least to imagine Abraham as the Founder of Haplogroup F and 90% of the world population.
