I explain it simply by the fact that it relies upon the assumption of human-chimpanzee common ancestry to begin with, thereby becoming an example of circular reasoning. See, these differences between the human genome and the chimpanzee genome are assumed to be "accumulated" through divergence from a "common ancestry" - something which is not, actually, immediately apparent from simple observation of the differences. They only "become" evidence for divergence (rather than simple autonomic difference) when one views the evidence through the lens of the philosophical assumptions of evolutionism. There is nothing here which intrinsically "proves" evolution - it merely shows that evolutionists are good at making assumptions and then extrapolating from them.

No it does not. The genes prove common ancestry.

***BZZZZZTTTT!!!! Wrong.

A testable prediction is made based on the hypothesis of common ancestry (high correlation of genes if the hypothesis is true; chance-level correlation of genes if it the hypothesis is false). Observations are then compared to the predictions (in this case, the observation confirms the truth of the hypothesis).

Really, the fact that anyone needs to explain this belies your claim to know anything about science.

Unfortunately for your argument, evolution was known before anyone had discovered genomes. Thus, it is impossible for the former to be a mere assumption invented to explain the latter.

Your position is equivalent to asserting that Heinrich Schliemann wrote the Trojan War mythology to explain his archaeological findings.
