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

Your usual garbage.

First of all the article says the cytochrome c's of chimps and humans are identical. ARE YOU NOW SAYING THAT THE ARTICLE THAT YOU AND OTHERS CONSTANTLY GIVE AS PROOF OF EVOLUTION WAS A LIE?????????

Gore, the article says this: "Humans and chimpanzees have the exact same cytochrome c protein sequence."

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

Now do you see a contradiction between those two statements?

It is not a highly conserved gene, in the articles proof#3 itself it says that cytochrome c is used for molecular clock purposes because it changes so much between species. As to the rest, someone was lying by either ommission or commission. Does not really matter who. Vade has not given any reference for his statement. So we would need to see that to make a determination. Let me note one thing though - the total sequence of a protein is significant. If one cuts off or adds to a protein any length from either side functioning is changed.
