For example. As a strategy for my laziness, I've taken subroutines and portions of my friends' programs and combine them with my programs that had absolutely nothing to do with their original programs to create, if you'd prefer, "hybrid" programs. All this proves is that if done right we could combine segments of codes to form new protocols because these codes are all written in the same language.
Yes, but that would be more like combining the two genomes by genetic engineering, which I agree wouldn't prove anything.

Re: The myth of mitochondrial Eve
It appears the mutation rate of mitochondrial Eve is more accelerated than they first believed making the human race approximately 6000 years old.
This is, of course, not true, which is why you have no evidence for it.
The mitochondrial Eve data does not force the belief that there was only one woman from whom we all descended”in other words, it doesn’t prove the Bible”but”a very important ”but’”it is most definitely consistent with it. In other words, had there been more than one mitochondrial ”surname’, it would have been a severe challenge to the biblical scenario.
There is. Haven't you been following this? People have mitochondrial genes which differ from one another. This is why it's possible to use 'em as a basis for molecular phylogeny. There would be no point if mitochondrial genes were totally conserved.

Re: The myth of mitochondrial Eve
Oh look, you're trying to explain basic science to a creationist.
How sweet.
Betcha a dollar that he'll never understand?
