DARWINISM REFUTED
theoreticians of evolution,
once stated that this irregular
relationship between living
things and their DNA is a
great problem that evolution
cannot explain:
More complex organisms
generally have more DNA
per cell than do simpler
ones, but this rule has
conspicuous exceptions.
Comparisons of chromosome numbers and

amphibian), Protopterus (a
lungfish), and even ordinary
frogs and toads. Why this should be so has long been a puzzle. 286
Other comparisons on the molecular level produce other examples of
inconsistency which render evolutionist views meaningless. When the
protein strands of various living things are analysed in a laboratory,
results emerge which are totally unexpected from the evolutionists' point
of view, and some of which are utterly astounding. For example, the
cytochrome-C protein in man differs by 14 amino acids from that in a
horse, but by only eight from that in a kangaroo. When the same strand is
examined, turtles appear closer to man than to a reptile such as the
rattlesnake. When this situation is viewed from the evolutionist point of
view, a meaningless result will emerge, such as that turtles are more
closely related to man than they are to snakes.
For instance, chickens and sea snakes differ by 17 amino acids in 100
codons and horses and sharks by 16, which is a greater difference than that
between dogs and worm flies, which belong to different phyla even, and
which differ by only 15 amino acids.
Similar facts have been discovered with respect to hemoglobin. The
hemoglobin protein found in human beings differs from that found in
lemurs by 20 amino acids, but from that in pigs by only 14. The situation
is more or less the same for other proteins. 287
