It is generally very easy to spot an extremist. My view is this is a religious extremist who takes exception to the fact that humans and other primates share 97% of our DNA. Evolution is a theory. You never see those who believe in it on street corners yelling at the top of their lungs that creationism is a lie. Perhaps there is a real good reason for that.

It's wasy to spot someone who knows little about science when they quote the "97%" number. Genetics is more complicated than that. There are microscopic bugs that share nearly that amount of genes with humans. I know they leave that out it "public" education, but now you know.

Yeah and cockroaches share about 94% of our DNA.

Your point?

Yes, and humans also share about 97.5% of their DNA with mice. What's your point?
