It isn't? So it is a coincidence that many individual DNA sequences confirm that humans are much more closely related to chimps than to mice? That catfish are much closer to sharks than earthworms?
Any serious and consistent discrepancy here would falsify the theory, which is why I brought it up in the first place.
Please bring the goalposts back into the endzone.
It is not a coincidence. However, the whole discussion is on how the relationships occur, not that they occur. Neither the TOE, nor ID, nor "the aliens dumped a zoo into the ocean" are stated in any way that I can see that would permit one to verify one over the other. Any serious and consistent discrepancy here could be construed to falsify all of those 3 hypotheses. But since that is not the evidence, none of them have been falsified.
