my hypothesis cant tell us how many genes should be different between whale and human (neither evolution).[/quote]
Don’t downplay the value of testing hypotheses as a way to clarify your thinking!
It can’t give us an exact number, but it puts us in the ballpark. As you pointed out (while mangling most of the numbers), evolution is extremely limited in its ability to produce new proteins and new genes. A Designer, particularly an omnipotent one, has no such limitations. Therefore, intelligent design predicts lots of new components, because there are no limitations, while evolution predicts few to none. Evolution’s new stuff has to be produced by slogging through an incredibly iterative process to duplicate and repurpose existing genes and proteins with only rare exceptions.
Are you with me so far?
