Harun Yahya alert... again... :[

Co-incidentally I was directed to a Harun Yahya website by a creationist. I asked him if he was aware that this was a fundamentalist muslim writer - I am awaiting his reaction.I also noticed one of Harun Yahya's related sites is self-described as follows:"Jesus will return to the world for a second time. He will unite all believers in God and bring peace to mankind, as proclaimed by the Prophet Mohammed and revealed in the Qur'an."I wonder how many fundamentalist christians would react to this assertion. It would appear that anti-evolution makes for strange bedfellows.

Andya, as Yahya's explanation is that genetic similarities between humans and primates is due to common design rather than common ancestry, I think your strongest line of arguments is the shared pseudogenes. The presence of GLO pseudogenes is much better explained by common ancestry. Why would a divine creator burden the primate and human genomes with such junk? It seems to imply a divine creator who doesn't know how to do the job properly. And why do the distributions of shared pseudogenes reflect the ancestral relationships inferred by other evidences?As to the exact degree of relatedness of humans and chimpanzees, what does it matter whether it is 99, 98 or 95%? I would challenge the creationists to show any genome comparisons which show another species more closely related to humans than chimpanzees or bonobos.
