I also note that the you, being a liar, do not quote from the article on the fugu fish for your attack, because then you could not slime me. The article says:

And by comparing the sequence of genes in the fugu with those of what's known about the 30,000 or so human genes, the scientists say they have discovered nearly 1,000 in the fish that are apparently identical to previously unidentified ones in humans.

Hmmm. Should I believe the people who are actually doing the analysis of the fugu genome when they say they "predict" the existence of 1000 new human genes, or should I believe the San Francisco Chronicle when it says they've "discovered" 1000 new human genes?

Let's all think really hard about this one....

As usual you are using rhetoric to try to talk away the truth, here's another article:

By comparing the human and pufferfish genomes, the researchers said they have been able to predict the existence of about 1,000 human genes that had not been previously identified.
From: Genome of Pufferfish Yields Clues to Human Genes

Of course that will not be enough for you so let's look again at the site of the researchers:

San Francisco Chronicle: DNA help from a deadly fish Fugu genome offers clues to human life. The poisonous Japanese pufferfish, known as fugu to gourmets who risk their lives eating it, has yielded valuable new genetic information in the quest for deeper knowledge of the basics of human heredity and disease.

Associated Press: Genome of pufferfish yields clues to human genes. Sequencing the genes of the pufferfish is yielding clues to the more complex human genetic makeup.

Oakland Tribune: Meet the relatives -- the pufferfish. One enjoys seafood and wears a wan smile and has an inflated self-image in a crowd. The other walks around on two legs.

What do you know! The people who did the research endorse the articles I quoted! So yes, this project has led to the finding of 1,000 new genes in humans - that's how close the genes of the fugu are to humans and of course this is a very strong proof against evolution.
