Sentence examples for molecular time estimates from inspiring English sources

Evolutionists have discovered, however, that molecular time estimates tend to be systematically older than estimates based on other methods and, indeed, to be older than the actual dates.

There are many factors that hamper molecular time estimates, especially for ancient events.

This scenario is further supported if Gondwanan vicariance dates are enforced to calibrate molecular time estimates [ 12, 18].

In this figure, minimum age estimates of Gondwanan fragmentations are also plotted against the corresponding molecular time estimates of continental cichlid groups.

These molecular time estimates are compatible with time estimates (2.6 2.7 Ga) based on geological evidence for the earliest colonization of land by organisms (prokaryotes) [ 85].

In Figure 3, minimum time constraints based on fossil records (see Table 2) are plotted against molecular time estimates of the corresponding divergences (values taken from Fig. 2).

It also agrees with an earlier molecular time estimate (2.56 Ga 2.04 3.08 Gaa) based on a largely different data set and methods [ 30].

The molecular time estimate for this divergence was 1.609 ± 0.060 Ga from a study of 143 rate-constant proteins [ 98].

However, our much younger molecular time estimate for the millipede-centipede divergence is close to the divergence time inferred from fossils for that node.

However, our molecular time estimate for the divergence of millipedes and centipedes is close to the divergence time inferred from fossils.

The third scenario that we considered uses an informative calibration point (minimum and maximum boundary) and accounts for the underestimation bias of the fossils [ 19] by using a molecular time estimate as upper bound (14.3 Mya, see methods).
