BODIES of extinct Ice Age mammals, such as woolly mammoths, that have been frozen in permafrost for thousands of years may contain viable sperm that could be used to bring them back from the dead, scientists said yesterday.
Research has indicated that mammalian sperm can survive being frozen for much longer than was previously thought, suggesting that it could potentially be recovered from species that have died out.
Several well-preserved mammoth carcasses have been found in the permafrost of Siberia, and scientists estimate that there could be millions more.
Last year a Canadian team demonstrated that it was possible to extract DNA from the specimens, and announced the sequencing of about 1 per cent of the genome of a mammoth that died about 27,000 years ago.

First evolutionist said that the mammoth has been extinct for billions of years, then it was millions of years and now it is but 27,000 years.
How much longer before they are down to the time line of the Creationist? Under 10,000 years anybody?
How creationist loose in court is beyond me.

First evolutionist said that the mammoth has been extinct for billions of years.....How creationist loose in court is beyond me. Playing fast and loose (proper usage, btw) with the facts might have something to do with it.

With access to the mammoth’s genetic code, and with frozen sperm recovered from testes, it may be possible to resurrect an animal that is very similar to a mammoth. OK...but for what purpose? Is there a big demand for Mammoths out there?

How creationist loose in court is beyond me. Because decent people hold misreprentation in contempt, even (especially) when it's done for a Holy Cause.
And oh yeah, no scientist has ever suggested that mammoths have been extinct for even millions of years.

Will these clones have any natural immunity to AIDS and other modern pathogens, or will they croak fast?
To: Lazamataz
Wooly mammoths have been extinct for 27 minutes.LOL... But if scientists can do it i'd appreciate it a lot.
Hmmm.. i wonder how would Cindy Sheehan react if the remaining attention she has gets snatched by the news about cloned mammoths. sarc/
