I'm neither into biochemistry or microbiology, so I have no great opinion on
the matter. Or were you refering to evolution in general?

Look at your statements: they don't say that anything is impossible - simply
put, they do not argue that the earth isn't old. Look at Jupiter: I think
the Jovian day is 10 hours and note how massive it is. Tidal forces are
weaker on it than the earth. So the earth was spinning faster. It was.
I'm not sure how you view that as some kind of validation that the earth is
6000 years old. I don't even need to argue the numbers you present.

You don't understand the very points your are trying to make. Massive tides
over the world - okay, so what? Take on sea floor spreading, continental
drift, and polar reversal (I note one of those Creationist Web sites claims
to have the answers to those, for a price!). :-)
