The "chimp DNA fallacy" is your own invention. The concept of common decent (which is by the way accepted by the more famous Intelligent Design advocates) is not simply based on two species sharing the same DNA.

If chimps and humans had a common ancestor, then we could make a workable logical formula from it - and we can't.

I believe in change over time, but new "kinds" have never evolved. All of the phyla appeared at one time as the Cambrian explosion clearly demonstrates. Evolutionists invent or interpret evidence in order to fit their preconceived presuppositions.

No that's nonsense.

No they didn't. Not all phyla appeared in the cambrian, and certainly not all major animal groups. Birds did not exist in the cambrian, jawed fish did not exist in the cambrian, bears, cats, dogs and humans did not exist in the cambrian. Reptiles did not exist in the cambrian, frogs did not exist in the cambrian. Trees did not exist in the cambrian, grass did not exist in the cambrian, flowering plants did not exist in the cambrian. Etc.

Flowering plants appered much later

"At one time?" You are aware, of course, that the Cambrian Explosion took place over the course of 40 million years? Don't let nomenclatural shorthand fool you.

Evolutionists invent or interpret evidence in order to fit their preconceived presuppositions.

Provide some proof of this assertion, or withdraw it. It's easy to lob phony charges, but you must back up such a stong statement.
