I don't disagree that DNA of different animals is close to humans. I just don't believe that proves we descended from apes. If you can show me how it proves it, I'll gladly listen. But if you're going to say we have similar DNA to a mouse or pig (which of course we do) and that proves we descended from apes, well, I'm not buying it.

The comparison of the human and chimpanzee genomes shows more than just a percentage similarity in content. It also shows certain identical genetic flaws and harmful mutations that indicate a common ancestry. By the way, the existence of shared flaws of this type was predicted by the ToE long before the data of the genomes was available. That this new data tested and confirmed the prediction should be of some significance.
