Not just the same genes, the exact same DNA code in the exact same place in the exact same order. Huge long strings of it. This includes pseudogenes, which are genes that serve no purpose, but continue to be passed on. 99% of our DNA is accumulated psuedogenes, and we share a massive amount of these with cats and cows and every other mammal. We share a significant amount with every vertibrate on the planet. This is evidence of common descent. There is no reason for us to have the same non-coding DNA as other species unless they were passed down to both by a common ancestor.
Try reading it again, until you get it.
Your interpretation comes from wishful thinking, not from scientifiic data.
And there are only very finite numbers of exact gene copies. You make out like there are many of them. This is the "science" by generalization as if all creatures have exacting duplicate genes with the same number of chromosomes and the DNA chains show up in the same chromosomes. HEMG, man.
In order for a creature to be from the same genetic lineage, it must be clear from many forms of data. And in all cases the ancestors were far more fit.
In real science we find the absolutely irrefutable evidence first. That is what we seek and only what we seek. Once we have that evidence then the rest fits perfectly with it.
DNA is that absolutely irrefutable evidence along with how it operates with mutations being 99.9% deleterious. The data shows about 1100 negative mutations to 1 that is assumed to be positive.
It is not even mathematically plausible even for a devout Evodelusionist to be able to refute this evidence, but they sure don't give up the faith easily.
By the way, pseudo genes, atavism, are a signs of degeneration by the way. They do not indicate anything other than genetic losses. Worthless non functioning genes.
Of course there will be long string of exact duplicate DNA in the "manufacturing" of mammalian body parts, and without any genetic connection at all. This is much more sane to realize this.
It is your faith and belief that makes the tie, because there is nothing else to support this with cats, rats etc and we have the predecessors of cats that were far superior, and rats, and cows, chickens, goats, horses.. all creatures were superior at one time to what they are now.
The nature of all the mammals is they started out far superior and with much more genetic data. They were far more adaptable, stronger, more fit, better health and had the ability to eat/digest more food types. They were able to process food better and produce vitamins from whatever foods were available.
The only creature that seems to remain constant is the crock. It has been much bigger about 110,000,000 years ago (by the ridiculous radiometric dating system).
Unless you have data from all angles to support this as with the chimps, common DNA data strings is not real evidence of any tie.
Not only the DNA but the ERV's and the number of chromosomes is exacting in Primates showing a superior human comon ancestor. There is data for this, but nothing to tie rats to humans or fish. That is ridiculous superstition.
DNA only shows degradation over time. There is no mechanism for improvements.
Again here is the absolute data from the medical science.
