Extinct mammoth DNA decoded

Mammoths became extinct in the last few thousand years ago.
A few, isn't that three? Even the rabid evolutionist does not deny that man walked the earth for more than 3,000 years. So man and mammoth walked the earth together, wow, Dawin must be rolling over in his grave.
Well enough fun, got to go to work.
You can't.
You've been laid off for billions of years.
multi-tusking?
If there is a God, please let that job NOT require any degree of precision
Why?
If you're going to try to "refute" evolution, it might be helpful to at least read an elementary school textbook on the subject. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Here's a hint for free: Because a species is extinct doesn't mean that it went extinct millions of years ago. The dodo hung around long enough for European explorers to see them in the New World. The passenger pigeon and the Carolina parakeet were around long enough for my grandfather to see them.
That mammoths coexisted with humans is not controversial. There is abundant evidence (ooooh, that word) of mammoths hunted and butchered by humans. It is fairly widely accepted that hunting by humans played a role in their extinction, but how great of a role is still the subject of debate.
The fact that you were heretofore ignorant of these facts does not make them new, and certainly doesn't poke any holes in a body of science that was aware of them long ago. Your own ignorance doesn't make much of an argument.
One would have thought even creationists had heard that stone-age humans made cave paintings of mammoths. As the great philosopher Homer Simpson would put it, DOH!
Still waiting for a citation of an evolutionist ever claiming that Mammoths went extinct "billions", or even "millions" of years ago.
" So man and mammoth walked the earth together, wow, Dawin must be rolling over in his grave.
"
That's just silly. Human beings and mammoths lived together for a long time. Human beings killed mammoths for food.
When the last mammoth died is not know. It could have been as little as a few thousand years ago.
Again, it's best to use facts if you're going to discuss evolutionary theory.
One is left to wonder why you might think that.
They did. Also sabertooth tiger.
It sounds like you think the rest of the world didn't already know that for the past seventy-five years!
Have you ever heard of Folsom and Clovis points that litter the great Southwest?
Do you think those Mammoths were hunted by carnivorous rabbits?
You should have read more as a child. For that matter you should do that still now.
