Your entire post does not contradict anything. My post had the author of this lie discussing, what others at one time or another said, is irrelevant. YOu are just going around the internet looking for something to contradict the real discussion.

Neither the chimp's nor the guinea pig's genome has been sequenced as of yet. The statements about the mutation in either are totally made up like almost everything in TO. Let's see a real article, from a real legitimate source showing that this so called mutation is in the exact same place in man and chimp and different in the guinea pig. You will not find it because the whole thing was a lie from the start.

Don't know if the whole genes have been sequenced since, but enough had by 1999 to identify the disabling mutation.

From:
Plagiarized Errors and Molecular Genetics (Another argument in the evolution-creation controversy) by Edward E. Max
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/molgen/

For the example of the GLO unitary pseudogene of humans, it is known that vitamin C is required in the diet of other primates, (though not for other mammals except guinea pigs). The theory of evolution would make the strong prediction that primates should also be found to have GLO pseudogenes and that these would carry similar crippling mutations to the ones found in the human pseudogene. This prediction was stated in earlier versions of the present essay. A test of this prediction has recently been reported. A small section of the GLO pseudogene sequence was recently compared from human, chimpanzee, macaque and orangutan; all four pseudogenes were found to share a common crippling single nucleotide deletion that would cause the remainder of the protein to be translated in the wrong triplet reading frame (Ohta and Nishikimi BBA 1472:408, 1999).
