Completely UNRELATED to the simple FACT that, as seen in the figure, both translated and untranslated regions of both chromosome 1 and 2 CLEARLY show that humans and chimps are more similar in DNA than either is to a gorilla.

So much for you “logical impossibility”, now you just want to quibble about an unrelated matter rather than admit your error.

What inpenetrable ignorance.

Well obviously chromosome 1 and 2 don’t explain why chimpanzees are closer to their ape cousins than to humans in body plan and functional needs. Therefore, the explanation must lie elsewhere. I predict that chimps will be found to be closer to their ape cousins in the 97% of the genome that the Evos predicted would be “junk.” Namely, the untranslated regions—the 97% of the genome where we now know five, seven or more transcripts can orgininate from a single segment of code. This leaves plenty of room to explain why the chimpanzee is more like an ape than a human.
