If humans are "special" how come we share 98% of our genes with Chimpanzees?

So you don't believe humans are any better than chimps? BTW, what is the DNA difference between humans and pigs?

If humans share 98% of their genes with chimps, why can't that suggest a common Creator rather than a common ancestor?

Bingo! Scientific theories can have consequences outside of science. And some wonder why Creationists have such a big problem with evolutionary theory, as though we're all just morons stumbling in the dark, on the way to the seance.

It isn't the fossil record, radiometric dating methods, or genetic evidence that some take issue with necessarily. Perhaps there's more to it; perhaps they've caught on to the idea of things Darwinian as a "universal acid."

I don't know about mlc, but I believe humans are special because we have immortal souls, not because of anything in our DNA.
