"No, what you said all along was/is untrue. You are confused by the difference between macro and micro derivation of a conclusion."

I said you were making it all up. That's true, as you have no clue what the mutation rates are (nor did you have a clue about the breeding rate of T-rex or of alligators). Your continued evasions only further my case.

"To wit: on the micro level it might be accurate to say that I don't have the specific mutation rates of alligators/crocodiles on the tip of my tongue...but at the macro level (e.g. the big picture) it is inaccurate to say the same thing...because species that are little-changed over 200 million years clearly have low mutation rates."

Depends what the meaning of *is* is...

As was already pointed out, they are not the same species. Alligator/crocodile are not species designations.

"Which is to say, I know the macro rate of mutation."

No you don't.

Again, it has not gone unnoticed you are still avoiding the fact you claimed that alligators bred slowly, and alleged this supported your claim that T-rex bred even slower. Since it was pointed out you made an error, you have changed the topic to alligators instead of the T-rex.

You are still flailing...

Incorrect. You're still lost on the difference between micro and macro picture.

I know the macro...the big picture. That means that I have a clue.

You claim otherwise, that I have no clue.

And you'll be in error as long as you maintain that view.
