I also find it interesting that while googling for information as to why the human genome is relatively small, I found several creationist sites that claimed the opposite, comparing humans against chickens and fruit flies.

Well creationists are a special breed of people.

To put this in visual terms, the human genome holds the information of approximately 200 NYC size phonebooks. The mere Amoeba Dubia holds approximately 45000.
