Fortuntely there were those Egyptians who failed to notice

The humans on the ark had it way better than the rest of the species.  There were at least three breeding pairs of humans; four, if you include 500 year old Noah and his 500 year old wife.  All the other species were bottlenecked down to a single breeding pair.

The most dramatic bottleneck effect in the case of humans was that average lifespan decreased from around 800 years to around 80.

That's even worse. No way would they have survived a bottleneck of one 
couple. No way would the genetic diversity of species be as much as it 
is now in most species.

As I said, I go with the science.

in this aspect, you are a fossil record, with bad teeth. Why old cranium

*_Afghans_make_the_victory_over_US_anniversary_a_national_holiday_* 
https://%72t.com/news/578222-afghanistan-new-public-holiday/

the afghans killed in 100% the opium production, and the capitalist 
america got furious like hell, asking afghanistan for cocaine again and 
again.

Congratulations Afghanistan for defeating the minion countries of the 
Western cabal again! Third time including the two wars waged by the 
British. Happy holiday. And by not allowing the opium trade Afghanistan is 
costing the Western cabal banks billions in real cash that is laundered 
through their branches which they use to prop up their fake money from 
drug sales which are destroying Western lives as well as others around the 
world. It is amazing how the greatest military in the world (lol) couldnt 
shut down the opium trade while they were occupying Afghanistan. Funny 
that isnt it, almost curious!

And while we are talking about the U.S commitment to justice, democracy 
and human rights does anyone know which prison Baby Bush and Tony Bliar is 
staying at? Just asking for a friend.

capitalist america, a shithole fascia of countries, populated by 
criminals, united in fascism, terrorism and crimes.

Very important, but I don't suppose patdolan kows it, as he appears to 
know litte about anything. Even without measurements of mutation rates 
one could predict that they coudn't have been contemporaries, given the 
great difference in fecundity between men (typically zero (very 
frequent) or one surviving male children, up to hundreds, for very rare 
men) and women (typically one or two surviving female children, never 
hundreds).

patdolan knows plenty.  In fact patdolan has taught you the two most important lessons that you have learned in the last twenty years, Athel: the Big Ben Paradox and Dinosaur soft tissue.  Your soft tissue paper is overdue.  So you start out having been marked down 5 points for lateness.

not true. 70,000 years ago people were more advanced than today. Human
life was 40,000 years, lots of carbons, oxygen and food. Why we allow the
west to always cross our *_red_lines_*?? What other *_special_operations_*
shall we launch?

That's what I expected, though until now he has been quiet about that 
particular crackpottery.

How do you know the original density of Carbon 14 to calculate an age?
How would you know what age the Earth is? How can anyone be sure?
So what does science say?

The rate of slowing is not sufficient for it to have stopped in 4.5 
billion years.

It will stop when everthing else stops spinning...

as i mentioned before...the gravitional waves are hitting the earth
cause it to slow and speed up...bobbling along.

What do you think makes the Earth spin? G.

Why do you think the earth spinsa at a angle? G.

If rotation is slowing down it will stop turning.

Your logic is faulty.
The rotation rate may asymptotically approach a constant rate.
(as it actually does)

Over millions of years, Earth's rotation has been slowed significantly by tidal acceleration through gravitational interactions with the Moon.
This gradual rotational deceleration is empirically documented by estimates of day lengths obtained from observations of tidal rhythmites and stromatolites; a compilation of these measurements[44] found that the length of the day has increased steadily from about 21 hours at 600 Myr ago[45] to the current 24-hour value.
