That leaves approximately 120 million different basepairs. At least one must be significant seeing as no Chimps have chimed in with their opinions on this thread.

[both sidestep the most significant features of that evidence]

And what would "the most significant features" be?

The actual *nature* of the similarities and differences in the DNA, *and* the way in which the implied phylogenies superbly match the other independent lines of evidence for common descent.

Instead, the creationists ignore all that, and just hand-wave about how "similarities don't prove nothin'" (while sidestepping the fact that the DNA comparisons yield far more phylogenetic signal than mere amorphous "similarities), and mumblings about morphological features, which disingenuously tries to deny the realities of gene function, as well as the synonymous differences between genomes.
