==That is a goal post far removed from you claiming that chimps and humans being more similar to each other in DNA than either is to a gorilla being a “logical impossibility”.
Here is my exact quote, the one that you dug up from last November. Notice I said genome (which includes the nontranslated regions) and the epigenome:
“I’m calling BS on the notion that chimps are closer to humans than to apes . You can’t have it both ways. You can’t have two organism that are closer to each other than a third organism in terms of body plan and functional needs (which you freely admit), while at the same time being closer to the third organism in terms of the genome and epigenome. As I said, it’s a logical impossibility.”

Now you are talking epigenome. Well the methylation patterns of humans and chimps and gorillas have not been compiled or compared, so you may well be right that the epigenomic pattern is more similar between a chimp and a gorilla; but that is not what you said originally.
My claim, which is 100% correct, was that by DNA sequence humans and chimps were more close than either was to a gorilla. You said that was a “logical impossibility”.
Based upon the data in this thread, you being right on a subject related to biology is obviously more of a “logical impossibility” than humans and chimps being more similar in terms of DNA sequence than either is to a gorilla.
