==The date of 10,300 years was established by radiocarbon dating and other archaeological techniques, not by the mtDNA clock.

As you should already know, there are many problems with radiocarbon dating having to do with calibration methods, not to mention the potentially erroneous assumption that atmospheric C14 levels (relative to C12) are the same today as they were thousands of years ago. And it should not be surprising that the Evos are trying to revise results derived from the mtDNA clock as it supports a recent creation. LOL

With every post you are showing your gross ignorance of science.

The atmospheric ratios of C14 and C12 are known to have fluctuated! We don't assume they remained constant. There are calibration curves to account for those fluctuations.

By the way, the scientists who deal with radiocarbon dating (nuclear physicists, chemists, etc.) are the ones who are working out the details of that technique. Are they all "evos" too?

And you still have not addressed the issue: the mtDNA remained the same from 10,300 years ago to the present among the members of this lineage. That precludes a global flood about 4350 years ago.
