> DAVID: Since one human generation is about 20 years, there are only five in 100 years. 15 major changes from apes in 3.5 million years requiring many, many mutations. Enough time?[/i]

> dhw: Of course it's enough time - it happened!-That statement is a truism that doesn't tell us why or how it happened so quickly. In the Wistar Institute math conference of 1967 was the first and one of the best estimates of the lack of time by the Darwin chance mutation method. Human mutation rate is too slow for the time allotted. -> dhw: By all means argue that the mechanisms of life and evolution are too complex not to have been designed, but don't try to kid us that you know how long it normally takes for apes to evolve into humans.-As noted above estimates are present.
