Dear Dr Page,
If you like to educate me, go ahead and provide me with the refernces and I will have a look at the methodology.
Convince me that you are right and try to overcome your condescending attitude.
"My" condesacending attitude? That is rich ... Hmmm... Let's see - an asthma researcher comes here proclaiming that he has falsified NDT, and "I" am being condescending?
Well, anyway, again, I should have thought that someone that argues about phylogenetics methods would at least be familkiar with them, but I guess not. I should have remembered - creationists always argue well outside of their actual fields of knowledge, and do so with an unwarranted air of authority.
Here is one of many:

Gene trees and the origins of inbred strains of mice.
Atchley WR, Fitch WM.
From the abstract:
"Extensive data on genetic divergence among 24 inbred strains of mice provide an opportunity to examine the concordance of gene trees and species trees, especially whether structured subsamples of loci give congruent estimates of phylogenetic relationships. Phylogenetic analyses of 144 separate loci reproduce almost exactly the known genealogical relationships among these 24 strains... "
