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.

Could you please point out where I said that this disproves evolution. All I did was agree with Liberty1970 that creationists have been pointing the problems with the mitochondrial clock for years. The OP simply admits what creation scientists have been saying all along.

BTW, Did you read the link I provided? Did you happen to notice the circular reasoning the evos based the mitochondrial clock on? Did you happen to notice the date range they gave to the mitochondrial eve once they recalibrated the mitochondrial clock based on empirically observed mutation rates?
