Mark should refer to footnote 19 in my article: Assuming a spontaneous mutation rate to be a generous 10 -9 per base pair per year and also assuming no negative interference by natural selection, it still takes 10 million years to undergo 1% change in DNA base sequences. It follows that 6-10 million years in the evolutionary time scale is but a blink of an eye. The Cambrian explosion denoting the almost simultaneous emergence of nearly all the extant phyla of the Kingdom Animalia within the time span of 6-10 million years can’t possibly be explained by mutational divergence of individual gene functions. - Susumo Ohno, The notion of the Cambrian pananimalia genome, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA: Vol 93, No 16, 8475-78, August 6, 1996.
Yet this evening I read that wolves and coyotes differ by some 6% in their DNA. Does that mean that the Ark landed 60 million years ago?

Your posts are becoming increasingly irrational. Does not the Christian story of creation state that man was created from the dust of the earth? If so, then you ARE "totally confident your distant ancestor IS a piece of clod off your shoe".
Have you seen the movie "A Beautiful Mind"? Not that I think you have one, but watching this might be instructive for the rest of your family. I recommend it.

Your pal,
Fred
So then do you acknowledge that your ark landed 60 million years ago (message 21) and that your distant ancestor was dirt as your holy book clearly states (message 33)? Or would you rather admit that you are guilty of using faulty arguments?
I also see that you are invoking dragons as proof of dinosaurs. I do believe that you may be losing your grip on reality.
