Apparently I’m missing something here what exactly does this debunk?
It turns out that a "burst" of speciation that scientists thought happened 65 million years ago actually happened 20 million years before that. Xans somehow thinks this supports young Earth creationism.
But its still evolution they just had the time a little off. It would be interesting to know what made them change their minds about the time like but I can't imagine how the new development would support any of Xans views.
The Nature article these conclusions are supposed to be presented in hasn't been released yet, so I haven't been able to see their methodology.
