A very bad excuse. My point in support of what andrewc was showing does not require reading the entire thread: the central point of his argument [andrewc's]- that the number of mutations between species does not agree with the evolutionary 'tree of life

You really should have read the whole thread. When we compared the homologous stretches of active (X-linked) s4 protein, there was excellent agreement; no difference between pig and human; four changes between humans and chickens.

Pigs do not have a y-linked S4, so it's unclear to me what you propose to compare it with. The human gene presumably arose from a duplication of the x-linked protein, but that duplication might have occured before pigs and humans diverged.

But if you'd like to say that because human cytochrome C is more similar to chicken cytochrome C than it is to pig hexokinase, that invalidates evolution, well, it's no less logical than most of your other posts.

Incidentally, a recent National Geographic has a very nice article on genetics and the 'tree of life'.

I read enough to see that there were in one particular site numerous differences disproving the evolutionary tree of life. What you forget is that if the 'tree of life' was correct, the DNA differences would show in ALL genes according to the evolutionary tree. That evolutionists can pick and choose from the thousands of genes in each species from the millions of species that exist nowadays some that will seem to show a proper evolutionary tree does not prove andrew's point wrong.

Further, the whole exercise by evolutionists is totally phony because present day humans are equally far apart in time from the first bacteria as present day frogs, reptiles, birds, and other mammals. All their DNA's have had the same amount of time for changing as each other and unless you can show me that different species know when to stop mutating (or that they do indeed stop mutating) you have to acknowledge that the attempt by evolutionists to make such a claim is totally phony and contradicts their own theory.
