The Contradictions in DNA Comparisons

Refute the Theory of Evolution

In the final part of the documentary, it is claimed that the sponge
is the ancestor of all animals. This claim rests on a comparison of
certain fundamental areas in the DNA sequences in living species
with the same areas in the sponge DNA chain. In this way, the find-
ing of similar DNA sequences is regarded as evidence of ancestral
relationship by evolutionists.
The fact is, however, that this logic is invalid. DNA is a common
language by which life is described. If we think of DNA as sentences
which describe how a cell works, DNA consists of different sen-
tences in which different words are used. The fact that the same
words are encountered is the inevitable result of the fact that this
coded language employs only four letters. To put it another way, the
finding of similarities in DNA does not in any way show that living
things had a common ancestor. This similarity is proof not of a
"common ancestor," but of "common design." Every similarity we
encounter proves the common aspect of the design in living things.
On the other hand, just the length of the DNA in the sponge
is sufficient to invalidate the evolutionists' expecta-
tions. The DNA of the sponge, put for-
ward as the "primal animal ancestor,"
