"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.

Uh, so? Some genes are highly conserved. Note this leads to ANOTHER prediction (and potential falsification) of common descent. Genes that are highly conserved in humans, and chickens and puffer fish should also be highly conserved in other vertebrate animals as well.

I'll guarantee though that, however highly conserved relative to other genes, no given gene is MORE similar between humans and puffer fish than between humans and chickens.

How can I guarantee that this is the case, unless evolution DOES make falsifiable predictions?

That's how unfalsifiability works. If the genes are the same, they are 'highly conserved'. If they are not the same, they aren't 'highly conserved'.

It means nothing at all.
