> David:It has to be nebulous. They have NO answers.-I get that, but doesn't that expose the lie? I mean, seriously. IF they measure the 'genetic clock', and IF they have their estimated age of fossils and what not, then they SHOULD be able to calculate an approximate number of generations based on the life cycle of the organism. If they come up with a number of generations, then there is the basis for testing the probability that the amount of evolution they are claiming happened actually happened. Right?
