The average estimate for the time since the last Chimpanzee-Human common ancestor is 9,000,000 years ago. There must needs have been 30,000,000 fixed mutations between the two species to account for the difference. The fastest rate of mutation ever observed in either species is approximately 8,000 generations per fixed mutation. Given an average generation of 20 years, that means that the average amount of time needed to account for the speciation under the theory of evolution by natural selection is equivalent to
[math](30000000*8000*20) = 4800000000[/math]
4.8 trillion years. Cool!

>20 years to breed
with a life expectancy of 24? get real
>8000 generations per "fixed" mutation
try hundreds of mutations per child

The adjective modifies the noun.

We were created in our whole substance ~6000ya. We have no non-human animals in our family trees, nor any microscopic replicators formed by chance from inorganic matter.

Agreed. I just find it strange that TENS can't even work when you allow for 10x more time than the atheist cosmology allows for.

>Although the bacteria in each population are thought to have generated hundreds of millions of mutations over the first 20,000 generations, Lenski has estimated that within this time frame, only 10 to 20 beneficial mutations achieved fixation in each population, with fewer than 100 total point mutations (including neutral mutations) reaching fixation in each population.
