It's a highly conserved gene to have had only one mutation since humans and chimps diverged.

in post#650 you said the above, you now say:

I agree that the cytochrome cs are identical.
I also insist that there has been one mutation to the genome.

You are trying to weasel out of your statement. Furthermore, even your last statement is contradictory (like the article that Stultis posted and you agreed was the best proof of evolution in those 29 evidences). Things cannot be identical if there is something different about them. If you try to weasel out of that by saying that you were speaking of the total genome of man and chimp then that is also nonsense since there is far more difference between man and chimp than one DNA base pair difference in the 3 billion DNA base pairs in humans and chimps.

You cannot, cannot, cannot have read the article you are claiming to debunk and still be making the egregious error you are making here.

Give up?

I'm going off for the night and don't want to leave you in suspense.

There are 1049 ways to code just that one version of cytochrome c that humans and chimps share. The proteins are identical. The genomes responsible differ by one base pair, a difference that happens to be non-functional.

All of which and more the 29 Evidences article you've supposedly "been there and done" explains fully. You need to give it a real study sometime, with the brain switch in the ON position.
