What I'm saying is that if animal A has genes AAAA and animal B has genes AAAT, that animal A and B are more similar than animal C of ATGT.
Whether you admit that animals are related or not, their genetic similarity still holds order that matches what we see in the fossil record.
This is what I am referring to that you aren't addressing.
I'll make an effort to clarify. So if fish and reptiles have DNA that is more similar than fish and birds, then if evolution were true, we might expect fish and reptiles to appear (first appear, meaning when the earliest rock layers we find these fossils in based on geologic superposition) in the fossil succession closer to one another than fish and birds. And so it is. And the reverse is true as well. If mammals and reptiles appear closer in the fossil succession than mammals and amphibians, then we might expect DNA of mammals and reptiles to be more similar than mammals and amphibians. And so it is.
And this holds true on finer levels as well. Whales appear closer to ungulates in the fossil record than they do to fish, and so we might expect their genetics to be more similar, and so it is. A horse is more genetically similar to a giraffe than a mouse, and so we might expect a horse to appear closer to a giraffe than a horse to a mouse in the fossil record, and so it is.
We may find marginal discrepancies where there are margins of error. For example, if an amphibian in the fossil record was observed between 390 and 380 million years old, and debated trackways are observed at 395-390, there may be fine tuning at play in finely "zoomed in" sections of the fossil record, but by in large, and in practical terms, the above is simply the nature of creation and it is as true as the sun is hot.
Evolution easily explains this reality. Fish are closer genetically similar and closer in the fossil record to amphibians than they are to reptiles, mammals or birds, simply because the former evolved from fish. And the logic follows for all the above examples.
But if not evolution, what could possibly account for this synchronization of dozens of phylogenetic trees? Because after all, this goes well beyond just genetics and paleontology. But for simplicity I'm watering the topic down so that we can have a simple discussion about it.
The truth is that there is nothing either of us can say, nor anything either of us can do about this reality. It is definitive proof of evolution and it just is what it is. And the sooner we all get on the same page about this, the sooner we can move forward with our understanding God's creation.
And the same holds true for plants. Your seeded and flowering plants being closer than flowering and non vascular. Algae closer to bryophytes, angiosperms closer to filicinophytes than to bryophytes Etc which all aligned with morphology based phylogenies and comparative anatomy phylogenies etc etc etc.
