Thanks! Great article! Especially liked, “Contrary to what some might think, the mitochondrial mutation rate used here was not determined by any sort of direct analysis, but by supposed phylogenic evolutionary relationships between humans and chimps. In other words, the mutation rate was calculated based on the assumption that the theory in question was already true. This is a rather circular assumption and, as such, all results that are based on this assumption will be consistent with this assumption – like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Since the mutation rate was calculated based on previous assumptions of expected evolutionary time, then the results will automatically “confirm” those assumptions.”
I can’t remember in which video it was but in one of Dr. Tour’s interviews the other scientist related that many bio scientists who are beginning to see the overwhelming evidence for design - thinking they are on the cusp of something revolutionary as they climb this mountain of knowledge - get to the top only to see a group of theologians already sitting there ;- )
