How old are the first vertebrates?

The first vertebrates (perhaps fish), are maybe 10,000 years old. Remember, that if you use Mendelian genetics, if the world is as old as evolutionists say, there would be trillions of humans today, not just a few billion.

Answer 2: "Maybe" 10,000 years old? Perhaps fish? Based on what? No scientific evidence to support that, and the Bishop Ussher method of adding up stuff from the Bible has all of whole world history going into 6,000 years. So you're neither fish nor fowl. And Mendelian genetics says absolutely nothing about rates of population growth. This is nothing but mumbo-jumbo.

The answer that is accepted in science is that fossil fish have been found in Cambrian age rocks, 530 million years old.
