==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”:

And if you flapped your arms and flew off into a tree the argument would be that anyone can do bird imitations.

Good grief!!! How difficult can it be to understand that if the dating method is inaccurate then all that is drawn from the method is questionable.

The problem I am pointing out is a fundamental fallacy of argumentation. You cannot disprove the theory of evolution by claiming that the established rate of genetic mutation is wrong and the correct rate is some other rate, because the entire argument relies upon the evolutionary process that you are trying to argue against.

What you would need to demonstrate is that there are no genetic mutation and never have been any and each form of life, species, subspecies, etc. arises sui generis (created by god or whatever intelligent creator you posit in place of god) and is genetically stable for all time.

In short, your reasoning is circular.
