So if the genes were the same, it would be an argument against evolution? Have you ever heard of a "falsifiable" statement?

The problem with "Creationism" is that it is not falsifiable. Another theory that is not falsifiable is "Evolution."

Evolution is falsifiable 3 ways from Sunday there Cook.

Show a fossil that is out of place in the strata, if you can show, a Homo erectus fossil in the same strata as Tyronasaurus Rex, congrats you have just FALSIFIED Evolution.

Find a cow giving birth to a pig via natural means, congrats, you have just FALSIFIED Evolution.

Show a fish turn into a mammal in one generation, congrats, you have just falsified evolution.

Find Scientifically verifiable evidence of a designer, congrats, you have just falsified evolution.

Shoot, here's an easy one, Show that the earth is less then 10,000 years old, through the scientific method, congrats, you have just falsified evolution.

Find a mammal on earth who's genetic structure is TOTALLY different from ours and you will have FALSIFIED evolution.

Good luck!!

Evolution IS falsifiable, just because you can't think of a way to do so, does not mean it's not.

Oh, and if the genes that give birds wings happen to be the SAME genes that give bats wings, it would help you disprove evolution and natural selection, because this would show design, same gene's 2 totally unrelated creatures. But since the gene's for those traits are ideed different it helps show natural selection ie: evolution.
