Do you even know what “orders of magnitude larger” means?

For example, the difference between human and chimp genetic DNA is around 2%.

A SINGLE order of magnitude larger would be 20%.

ORDERS of magnitude larger would be 200% at least. An impossibility.

Also, you are wrong either through lies or confusion. When the genome was sequenced the difference over the entire genome (only some 3% of the genome is genetic DNA) is some 6-10%.

That is, for one thing, not even a single order of magnitude larger, and also - absolutely expected.

Genetic DNA is more highly conserved between species and doesn't change much within a species over time - while non-Genetic DNA is less conserved between species and changes much more rapidly within a species over time.

As such it is entirely expected (unless you are an idiot hoping to score futile points in a game you barely understand) that the difference between humans and chimps, being 2% in genetic DNA, would be at least three times as different over the entire genome.

Yeah I do know what it means. I posted this once before on FR so there's no real excuse for you or others to be going on with this bullshit.
