There are numerous laws in the scientific fields which hold true day after day, year after year

such as the law "if a retroposon, pseudogene, etc, is found in both cows and whales, it will also be found in hippos" See fig.5

Standard biology has an explanation as to why it's hippos and not, say, rhinos, in the above law of nature. Does any other theory or speculative hypothesis?

Oh please. A drawing is not evidence of anything. Further, there are no genes which are exactly the same in different species. Indeed most genes are not even exactly the same in different human beings, so your argument is false. There are no exact duplicates. There are indeed similar genes in many different species, but this is not to be wondered at, no reason why similar functions should not use similar genes. This is not proof of evolution.

Furthermore, if similarity of genes is proof of evolution kindly explain the fugu fish, whose genes are so similar to humans that they were able to find some 1200 previously unknown genes by examining the fugu fish genes. Proof that the fugu is man's ancestor not the apes???????????????
