Ancient penguin DNA raises doubts about accuracy of genetic dating techniques

==Sorry GGG, but you cannot disprove the theory of evolution based upon genetic mutations by asserting that someone is mistaken about the rate of mutation

Sorry AJ, creationist have been all over this issue for about a decade. And as per usual the evos are Johnny-come-latelies. If you want to be caught up to speed, you might consider reading the following. Pay particular attention to the date range the Evos were forced to assign to the “mitochondrial eve”:

Thanks for the ping!

"We believe that traditional DNA dating techniques are fundamentally flawed, and that the rates of evolution are in fact much faster than conventional technologies have led us to believe."

Exactly what we've been pointing out for years.

Welcome aboard the evolutionary train! GGG is going to be angry with you for pointing out that you are an evolutionist!

I haven’t read beyond this post. However, I am certain some mouth-breathing half-wit has already howled that creationists by default must believe in a 6000 year old Earth.

[ColdWater]

You lose.

[Grizzled Bear]

Guess again...

Actually, if you take a gander at the link in #41, you will see that God’s creation is designed in such a way as to ensure that even the most ardent God-hating Evos have no choice but to confirm His handiwork.

I think what is going on is they are talking about the evolution of the penguin BEFORE the DNA samples were ‘alive’. If you push back their ages then you compress the evolution that got them to that state.

See #44 and 46. GB just called you a mouth-breathing half-wit.

Actually, after reading up to post 8, I commented -

Note: I made my comment at post 8 before reading any further.

Then you posted -

You lose.

Then I pointed you to post 10 where hitchit made the obligatory 6000 year old Earth post.

Now ColdWater, are you finished behaving like a little girl who is compelled to tattle to Mommy? I hope some day reach puberty and are able to move beyond such behavior.

Usually, when you call someone a mouth-breathing half-wit, you give them a courtesy ping. OTOH, another posting etiquette is that you do not make personal attacks.

I used the term "half-wit" before reading ColdWater's post. There was an actual point to my post. I stated that I knew someone would post the tired old "new Earth" accusation before I read any further. What was your purpose of disagreeing with me in the first place? If you had read two posts down from post 8, you would have seen I was right.

Perhaps you should stop acting like a bratty pre-teen girl. Incidently, that is simply an observation about your behavior.

ColdWater doesn't seem very bothered about all this. Why don't you ping him again?

You seem so bothered you can't even get your names right. You are SO easy!

[Grizzled Bear]

Actually, I’ve put in a full day’s work and I’m a bit tired. Perhaps you’ll learn what work is if you ever move out of your Mommy’s basement.

Actually, I am putting in 60 hours a week at $100 an hour. Holiday pay tomorrow.

And you're good enough, and you're smart enough, and darn it people really like you.

Glad to see you have a hobby, Sen Franken; during your spare time you brag about you super life on Free Republic.

Seriously, if you really made $100 per hour you wouldn't feel compelled to comment about it on an anonymous website.

Next, why don't you tell me about your wife, Morgan Fairchild.

Whatever makes you feel better.
