"Truth be told" about Chimp-Human DNA comparisons For over 30 years, the public have been led to believe that human and chimpanzee genetics differ by mere 1%. This 'fact' of science has been used on innumerable occasions to silence anyone who offered the thought that humans are special among the animal kingdom. "Today we take as a given that the two species are genetically 99% the same." However, this "given" is about to be discarded....

Sorry, you are wrong. If you believe that the 1% figure is incorrect, then cite a legitimate scientific reference that provides the correct genomic difference.

At least science uses more than emotional hyperbole to try to make a point. Sadly, most creationists brains are still in the evolutionary ancestor mode of human thought patterns.
