also in the same issue, michael shermer points out the existence of
ARE's...ancient repetitive elements...parts of the genome which get
repeated in various areas and code for nothing. he asks the question,
if creationism is true, why are these bits and pieces of the genome
identical in mice and men?

I must have missed something. I'll ask the question:
"Since creationism is false, why are these bits and pieces of the
genome identical in mice and men? Is it because they code for
nothing? Because they are repeated in various areas?"

To be honest, I find your arguments against creationism to be about
as convincing as (M)adman's arguments against evolution.
