   If you would present some of this work we could determine if that was   
   true or not.  A search brings up the fact that Jeanson got his PhD   
   working on human stem cells, so my guess is that he is less of a   
   molecular geneticist than Denton was when he messed up writing his first   
   book.  He is trying to support his YEC beliefs, so he is likely messing   
   up his analysis in some way.  Behe would likely agree that the molecular   
   data definitely does not support YEC in any way.  At least, Denton had   
   been working on Human genetics before he incorrectly analyzed the   
   molecular data.  He did not do the analysis correctly and got an answer   
   that didn't tell him what he thought it was telling him.  Even Denton   
   isn't YEC and he understands that the genetic data will never support   
   YEC.  All the YEC can claim is that their god did it that way.
