humans and apes probably split six or seven million years earlier than widely thought

YEC INTREP

Maybe they were never joined...and this is further proof.

Amazing how these estimates keep getting pushed further and further back in time.

"Amazing how these estimates keep getting pushed further and further back in time."

Definitions of estimates on the Web:

Estimation is generally an approximate or uncertain calculation of a result, often based on approximate, uncertain, incomplete, or noisy data.

An estimated reading is based on actual past use, seasonal trends and weather. Any difference between the estimated reading and the actual one will be made up the next time the meter is read.

No, it isn't.

Not really. That's the beauty of science : the more you research something, the more you find out, and the more accurate your data becomes.

There is a lot yet to be discovered but sadly most have bought into the fiction of humans and apes being 98/99% genetically identical. It just isn’t true even the number of chromosomes are different and the epigenetic code which controls how genes are expressed are highly different. Even Mice and humans share 99 percent of the same genes if you don’t consider epigenetics. Most creatures share genes from a common genetic tool kit. The genes are equivalent to functions used in programs. The epigenetic code is the control code and it is what makes a mouse a mouse, an ape an ape and a man a man.

Not really, it used to be 25 million. More evidence dropped it to 7 million, no revised to 10.

That's the thing about science. More evidence gives you more confindent in the refined estimate.

Religion> Well I think it might be 10,000 years not 6000. Why? I dunno..

How far back in time is too far? 4000 BC?
