buggyone, thank you for the post. You know and I know, polite people don't discuss religion. It can go on and on and result in people not being friends and nothing being proven except emotions run deep. So before I conclude my discussion of evolution with you, I'd like to ask you something else.

By your comments, you are telling me that it has recently been decided that things aren't as scientists have previously thought and believed they were with Mitochondrial DNA and dating? The prior dating methods were flawed? Is that what you are saying? They are correct this time, for certain? And the previous theory is wrong and has been disproven? Hmmm
