→Mitochondrial and fossil evidence: explanation
:: I was hoping for a little bit more detail than that (but not too much). Specifically, one of the things that anti-creationists so often overlook is that if ''both'' creation and evolution make similar predictions, then the evolutionary prediction being fulfilled does not support evolution over creation. Can you explain how the evidence supports the evolutionary view ''over'' the creationary view? If not, I don't think that bit should be in there. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J.

:: Well that paper and others give times of divergence based on the molecular evidence and neutral mutation rate that are close to the standard times from the fossil record. For example, the genetic evidence given in the paper gives a divergence time of around 70 million years between the Australian marsupials and the South American marsupials. This is consistent with that derived from the fossil record, which is generally put at between 60 and 90 million years or so(those numbers may be slightly, off I haven't look at some of this material in a while, but they are roughly correct).

This little animal is getting far to much attention... I mean like come on. People don't argue whether it it has evolved or not, if you can find the link then thats great. Joshua stop being so combative. Ed you always take a beating and I am glad you are stiking to your "guns". 2 or 3 of you work on this, or peacefully discuss this. Thats all folks.--[[User:Will N.|Will N.]] 11:30, 7 May 2007 (EDT)
