That man’s DNA is 99% identical to a chimpanzee doesn’t impress me nor does it disturb me. Mankind and chimpanzees also share some 33% DNA with daffodils.

Man is full of water, too. So are the oceans. Likewise, if you chop up a man and a rock into their respective component parts – eventually you’ll see both are made up of the same quantum particles and fields.

Some are impressed by the large scale of the cosmos, some are impressed by the small scale of the quantum.

I am impressed by the math – which is the same regardless of perspective – quantum to cosmos, as this interactive display of the powers of 10 illustrates.

The unreasonable effectiveness of math in the physical world gets my adrenalin flowing – whether information theory, Reimannian geometry and relativity, mirror symmetries, S-dualities or other aspects of geometric physics.

For me, the "unreasonable effectiveness of math" is God's copyright notice on the cosmos.

But lets not forget that it is now proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that the 1% difference is a myth/lie propagated by the Church of Darwin.

A Church of Darwin zoologist, quoted in the article, points out the desired effect:

“For many, many years, the 1% difference served us well because it was underappreciated how similar we were.”

I was at the Cincinnati Zoo 2 weeks ago with my granddaughters. It is a wonderful zoo, and their primate displays have to be among the best in the country. There, too, I saw the 99% number on one of the information signs.

Obviously, what was inside that habitat display was not a human being. Absolutely no doubt in my mind.

There was some miraculous gulf...perhaps inexplicable at this time, Sister AG. Perhaps it would be best to simply say:

The math was different.
