The common descent data is only used where it supposedly agrees. When it doesn't agree, it is ignored as having evolved after the reputed split.

Fine. Then give me ONE gene, or similarly sizable genetic sequence, that is more similar in Birds and any non-ruling reptile, or other animal whatsoever, than in Birds and Crocodilians. Or give me any comparable anomaly. Say more similar in Humans and Horses than Humans and Chimps. Whatever.

Your request doesn't make any sense. What would showing similarities between chicken and human genes or turtle and crocodile genes show?

Human/bird similarities, turtle/crocodile genetic relationships, are readily available but have not falsified 'common descent'. It is simply ignored as having developed after the split.

"Previous studies of gene similarities--a relatively newer tool for determining relationships between species--have never agreed with the more traditional anatomical methods on this issue. "Turtles turned out to be not where they were supposed to be on the family tree whenever their genes were included in a research study," says Hedges, who decided recently to assemble all the genetic data available in order to resolve the question."

Oops, turtles weren't where they were supposed to be genetically. Darwinism is falsified.

"The analysis also showed that genes conserved between human and chicken often are also conserved in fish. For example, 72 percent of the corresponding pairs of chicken and human genes also possess a counterpart in the genome of the puffer fish (Takifugu rubripes). According to the researchers, these genes are likely to be present in most vertebrates."

Humans, chickens and puffer fish share a lot of genetic information. I don't remember Darwinism predicting this. Looks like evolution is falsified.

Those relationships mean nothing. Common descent and evolution are unfalsifiable. Your request is meaningless.
