"Evolutionary theory follows Finagle’s Rule #4: “Draw your curves, then plot your data.”
Mutation rate fudge: In theory, the “molecular clock” should calibrate the fossil record if Darwinian evolution were true. Attempts to determine the rate at which DNA mutates, though, Nature admits, have given “nonsensical” results. Some estimates give slow rates, while others give rates twice as fast.
Reluctant to abandon the older numbers completely, many researchers have started hedging their bets in papers, presenting multiple dates for evolutionary events depending on whether mutation is assumed to be fast, slow or somewhere in between.
Evolutionists have a bad case of “physics envy” as they watch physicists using constants measured to six significant figures or more. “The fact that the clock is so uncertain is very problematic for us,” David Reich of Harvard said at a recent meeting where no consensus was reached. “It means that the dates we get out of genetics are really quite embarrassingly bad and uncertain.” The solution for some has been to invoke “rate heterogeneity”: mutations rates that speed up or slow down as needed to keep the theory intact."

So evolutionists have been LYING to us....anyone surprised?

A slower molecular clock worked well to harmonize genetic and archaeological estimates for dates of key events in human evolution, such as migrations out of Africa and around the rest of the world. But calculations using the slow clock gave nonsensical results when extended further back in time — positing, for example, that the most recent common ancestor of apes and monkeys could have encountered dinosaurs.
