of evolution. Following are some of the
research conclusions that have revealed
this contradiction:
• Comparisons carried out on the
molecule cytochrome c, cited by the NAS

as evidence for evolution, resulted in
disappointment for evolutionists.
These comparisons showed that the tur-
tle was closer to birds than to the snake,
another reptile. Evolutionists had claimed
that the protein sequences of the turtle and
snake, two reptiles, should be much closer to
each another. 2
•The same research also revealed that chickens ex-

hibit greater similarities to penguins than to ducks. Man emerges as
closer to kangaroos than to apes. 3
•An article in the January 2002 edition of Popular Science maga-
zine revealed that the DNA of the "grebe," a bird that looks like a duck
was found to be resembling a flamingo. 4
•As a result of the comparisons of the amino-acid se-
quence of the hormone LH, amphibians were shown to be

closer not to reptiles, as the theory of evolution maintains,
but to mammals. 5
•In comparisons performed on the
alpha hemoglobin protein, it was estab-
lished that the crocodile and the chicken
shared at least 15% of their amino-acid se-
quences. Next came the viper and the
chicken (10.5%). The crocodile and the
