Glad to oblige.

Have the dating records been made public? How many dating tests were performed? What were the results of each and every dating test? Oh wait...evolutionists NEVER publicize that information.
When you evolutionists find it to be within the realm of objective science to put ALL your cards on the table, skeptics of evolution will better positioned to consider your findings and offer informed rebuttal. Until then...what? We take your word that your presuppositions are correct?
And yet again we notice the ASSUMPTION that skeletal similarity to humans MUST EQUAL lineage. Says who? What about the fact that swine tissue and organs are far more compatible to humans than that of the various primates?-

They're already are on the table and available on the net; If you're really curious about how the data available for the dating, go and read the paper:
http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/326/594... (suscribe to see the entire document)
And feel free to point out whatever error or conspiracy theory you find in it.
"Says who?" DNA, we indeed assumed we were closely related to chimps due to our morphological similarities; DNA confirmed that assumption.
"What about the fact that swine tissue and organs are far more compatible to humans than that of the various primates?"
Convergent evolution, swine and humans have a very similar lifestyle, we have passive lives so our bodies don't need to be as strong as those of our cousins (and other kind of pigs). -

No, that is not true. Pigs are similar enough for testing purposes. The reason pigs are used over primates is that they are far more plentiful and far less expensive.
