"Prediction: That DNA sequences along an evolutionary path should show progressive amounts of change. Species near each other on the path should have more similar DNA than species further apart. Find examples where this is not true and you've falsified this prediction." - mlo

Duck-billed platipus. Genetically-altered pigs carrying organs for human medical use.

Platypus: No. I believe VadeRetro went over this with you Here. Unless you'd like to conduct and provide us with a scientific study showing why this is not the case.

Why do you think genetically altered pigs disprove evolution? Be as complete as possible.

Nah! DNA studies put the monotremes (that the platypus and echidnas for you creationists) right where the morphological studies put them, on their own branch and less related to those other primitive mammals, the marsupials, than the marsupials are to the placentals. (Look up the words if you don't know them.) ThinkPlease's falsification reads thus:

Species near each other on the path should have more similar DNA than species further apart.

Thus, echidnas should have the nearest DNA to platypi. They do.

Did you really read ThinkPlease's post? You try to make everything go away by chanting "platypus," "gene-spliced pigs," "monkeys typing Shakespeare!" You look like a terrified ingénue branishing a crucifix at a vampire.
