I don't think creationism makes a positive statement about number four. [There must surely be at least one species, and probably several, having no genetic similarities with any other life on earth.] True. But it's inferred. A weak inference, perhaps. If each species were a unique creation, there is no reason at all for each to be so similar to the others in their molecular structure.

They'd need to be similar so they could eat each other. No need, however to build this really neat branching tree of DNA.

If each species were a unique creation... Tsk tsk, Pat. You're getting sloppy. It's nitpicking, I know, but we creationoids prefer to use the term "kind", as in the dog kind. (Ex. - Wolves and dogs are separate species but can interbreed)
