Don't have to ? it's laughable

Substitute sarcasm in place of a valid argument because you can't have it both ways.... typical DemoRat play.

Mitochondrial DNA studies aren't new and are great evidence for the theory of evolution

Oh come on. I'm not going to quote Genesis at you, or any of the other creation myths.

But if you follow this sort of thing, you ought to know darn well there are a whole lot of arguments that haven't been settled with the Theory of Evolution.

Some we just don't know about, like how likely is it for a self-assembling molecule to arise. As I said this is not settled. Some pretty heavy hitters have estimated this as anywhere from likely to it probably won't happen in the whole history of the universe.

Then we have the other arguments, which you should be well acquainted with. None of them settled.

We know we can selectively breed animals like dogs (and yeah, we could do it with people - if we knew what we wanted).

But Darwinism as pitched by the man himself? A whole lot remains to be puzzled out about that.

Wrong.

Mitochondrial DNA is only passed on through female lines.

No, I'm not wrong. The study stated that 90% came from one couple. The Mitochondrial DNA isn't at issue here. We know it's passed on via the Female.


Why are you trying to shift the subject to something not being talked about nor refuted?


I will ask once again... Are you saying the study is false? That it is wrong? That they are lying?

Because I’m certain that everyone will want to educate themselves before spending the next few days arguing, here is a link to the study:

If for some reason that doesn’t work, use this and then click the open source button at the bottom:

You linked the Mirror citing a Daily Mail report. This is worse than if Bleacher Report citing ATPB as a factual article lol.

I love the "attack the source" argument when a person can not refute the study. The study is linked. I also linked to NY Post.

So you linked 3 tabloids? Congrats, it must be true then.

Massive study? It was a survey of a genetic database

---

The researchers studied the DNA of five million animals, including humans, to come to their conclusions.

So you can't refute the data. So now attack the study?

Interesting.

Now they sound like real scientist!

I think that sentence was from the professional journalist writing the article not the researchers.

And pretty much all of the unsettled debates have to do with the mechanisms of gene transfer or other mechanisms of evolution.

No one is debating evolution by natural selection/relative fitness.
