We often hear that creationism is just a different interpretation of the evidence. It is my contention that creationists don't interpret the data at all. Let's see who is right.
I went to Homologene and found the pairwise comparisons for the cytochrome c gene, cycs. The pairwise comparison shows the differences between model organisms. Here are the results for the differences between the human gene and the model organisms:
Let's focus on three species: human (H. sapiens), mouse (M. musculus), and chicken (G. gallus). Let's also use the DNA comparison to negate the effect of synonymous mutations in the protein sequence.
The similarity between the human and mouse gene is 90.5%. The similarity between the human and chicken gene is 81.6%.
Now comes the hard part. What does creationism predict will be the difference between the chicken and mouse cycs gene sequence, and why?
