No empirical evidence - I repeat, NONE - could ever *prove* that the Biblical Creation Model (i.e., a young creation, in the thousands of years) is true. The reason for this is simple: it is always possible for the evidence to either be ignored or for alternate interpretations to be proposed for that empirical evidence (which is the never-ending strategy of the naysayers). I have stated that since day one.
I have also stated that, the above being true, there is nonetheless plenty of empirical evidence that supports the Biblical Creation Model. Over the years I've presented lots of this evidence but, true to their religious calling, the naysayers have never acknowledged any of it.
Pushing on, here's a recent one from the field of genetics. The essence of it involves a study of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). In a nutshell, here's that evidence:
Mother egg cells transmit their mtDNA into the cellular mitochondria of their children. Copying errors occur and scientists have measured the rate of this—about one mutation every 6 generations. There are genetic differences between every major people group around the globe. A molecular biologist - Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson - downloaded publicly available human mitochondrial genome sequence data to compare YEC predictions (for about 6,000 years) and Evolution predictions (for about 200,000 years) with actual measurements.
The results? See for yourself. http://www.icr.org/article/9325
So here is yet MORE of the allegedly "non-existent" empirical data that supports the Biblical Creation ("YEC") Model and, as a consequence, throws dirt on the Evolutionary Model.
I am certainly not expecting any acknowledgement or serious thought on this empirical evidence from the Fanatical Evo-Faithful that haunt this place. I expect only dismissal, denial, frantic arm waving and name calling in the form of grunts and howls. Yup, that's what those people do best.
