Can you tell me why this article is scientifically wrong or does not match the facts?Talk to these guys. That's just from a quick Google search. If science really proved that the genetic variation of Earth's species suffered a massive bottleneck at exactly the same time just a few thousand years ago, we'd all be Christians today. Or Jews, at the very least.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
