→Evolution of the wombat: replies
Ed, I have to ask, Did you question the falsifiability of the theory of evolution? Also I do see where Josh is going with this. What proof is there for the creationist's claims that trumps the proof over the evolutionist claims?--[[User:Tims|TimS]] 11:27, 7 May 2007 (EDT)

::: The reasoning was (as Tim seems to have understood) was that if you consider the evolution section to be too speculative than a fortiori so is the creationist section. (Incidentally, it appears that CP agrees with me. See his recent edits restoring both). (I'll ignore your unfounded implication that I was "disruptive") [[User:JoshuaZ|JoshuaZ]] 11:29, 7 May 2007 (EDT)

JoshuaZ has inserted the line, "''This hypothesis is supported by [[mitochrondria|mitochondrial]] genetic evidence as well as fossil evidence''". Not having access to his source, could he or someone please explain how the evidence support this? Thanks in anticipation. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 11:25, 7 May 2007 (EDT) (P.S. I hadn't see the section above when I posted this.)

: The mitochondrial DNA divergence matches the expected phylogentic tree (actually, the ref shows slightly more, since there has been some controversy about certain details of the major marsupial evolution and the ref supports one version over another, what's known as the Marsupionta hypothesis).
