You are here Plagiarized Errors and Molecular Genetics Most
scientists regard the evidence for evolution as overwhelming.
Thus, in their conviction that evolution has already been
thoroughly and sufficiently documented, they sometimes fail to
consider how new discoveries can be applied to support
evolution. In this article, I draw together some discoveries of
the past few years from my own field of molecular genetics. When
these findings were initially reported, their implications for
the creation-evolution controversy were not explicitly
discussed; but they offer an interesting new twist to an old
argument and provide evidence for evolution that is conceptually
simple enough for the interested layperson to appreciate. The
new molecular evidence bears on a question which, in my opinion,
represents one of the few cases in which a creationist argument
had demonstrated logical consistency and had fought the
evolutionary position to a deadlock. This is the question of how
to interpret the similarities between mod
