In fact, mitochandrial eve lived 170.000 years ago. A bit longer then I think they want to say the earth is old.
Oh yeah, Evo? Have you looked at the literature? This is a peer reviewed paper from Nature Genetics, no less.

This is about actual observed mutation rates, not evo speculation!
Scroll down to discussion, and what do you see? Line 13.
Now, Evo, show me your peer reviewed support.

Sure. No problem.
Well done, Evo.
The reason I linked to the Parsons paper is that it's probably the origin of the myth that Hunter replied to. It happened to come up with that magic number "6,500". This caused a lot of creationists to have orgasms.
But even at that time there were other papers on the control region with much lower figures, as you can see here:
Paper
That paper combines its data with Parsons and others, and the result, if I remember rightly, would have given a minimum of ~20,000 years for "Eve".
But you can still see the Parsons paper referred to (alone) on creationist web sites.
