Unreliable means useless

So sayeth you.

There are two problems that those who criticize this theory have in saying the mutation rates are faster than folks believe. First, proposing faster mutation rates cannot explain the fact that all human beings seem to have derived from the same original haplogroup.

Second, you cannot criticize the theory of evolution with any argument about genetic mutations unless you are arguing that they don't exist or are irrelevant to explaining the origin of species.

I've always maintained all humans came from a samll number (2) of individuals. And species is another of those rubbery terms that mean what the beholder sees.
So a large number of dino “species” recently disappeared when it became obvious they were just young versions of adults. Using terms like "haplogroup" really doesn't make anything sound more scientific.
