Human-Chimp Similarities: Common Ancestry or Flawed Research?

by Jeffrey Tomkins, Ph.D.*

In 2003, the human genome was heralded as a near-complete DNA sequence, except for the repetitive regions that could not be resolved due to the limitations of the prevailing DNA sequencing technologies.[1] The chimpanzee genome was subsequently finished in 2005 with the hope that its completion would provide clear-cut DNA similarity evidence for an ape-human common ancestry.[2] This similarity is frequently cited as proof of man's evolutionary origins, but a more objective explanation tells a different story, one that is more complex than evolutionary scientists seem willing to admit...

So what are you saying, that when you look in the mirror you see double?

It seems as if the more education that one has, the less inclined one is to challenge conventional “wisdom”. “Expelled” by Ben Stein shows typical examples of those who DARE to question this nonsense. So, I’m not surprised. Bob

And when you discuss evolution with your black friends, are they offended to think they're descended from apes? Why does it bother you to acknowledge that blacks and apes are related? Why do you run away from your facts on that account? I wonder if they teach evolution at historically black colleges? If they do, there's no need for any white person to be called racist for comparing blacks to apes because it is an evolutionary fact.

There was no uproar when democrats posted pictures of Pres. Bush and a chimpanzee. Anyway, thanks for enlightening me and don't be ashamed to proclaim these scientific facts to your black friends.

Yep, it is precisely at the Temple of Darwin indocrination centers where they convince the feeble minded and those who hate God to send their brains on permanent vacation by joining the Temple of Darwin cult.

If memory serves, Obama believes we descended from apes, just like Allmendream.

Yes, it is the “feeble minded” that get graduate degrees while those with first rate minds get High School diplomas or less.

A creationist and cogent reality, obviously not on speaking terms.

It makes sense. The longer you get indocrinated at Temple of Darwin indocrination centers, the more likely you are to parrot braindead evo-religion. It takes a truly stout heart and a keen mind to resist being brainwashed by your evo co-religionists at the graduate level.

Which is why I didn’t understand his defensiveness when answering my post.

Interesting that you are always bringing out the bad points of religion. Are you wanting us all to be atheists?

Yeah, because the real movers and shakers who blow the world away with their genius are people who drop out of High School.

Still no explanation for the ERV data in your own words GGG. As I said, you don't even understand the data you claim to have refuted. Typical of the indoctrinated brain dead who can only parrot the brainwashed mewlings of the Temple of Cretinism.

Wouldn’t it be logical to those who believe in evolution that just maybe some races of humans are more highly evolved intellectually than other races? Maybe one race is a little more closely aligned with chimps? Wondering, Bob

“but only man has the innate capacity and obligation to worship his Creator.”

I wonder how many animals they queried before coming to this conclusion?

You are the one who is claiming that ERVs demonstrate common descent. I have already shot your outdated arguments down time and again, and yet you keep coming back with the same hogwash over and over. Is this one of the tactics they teach you in the Temple of Darwinistic Materialism?

I’m glad you agree that Darwinistic materialism is a religion.

The tactic of calling out a poser who makes claims to have refuted an entire branch of science from their keyboard on a subject that they obviously do not even understand?

Since you know that your post is not true, you must know that you have committed a sin.

I have refuted you lame, outdated, recycled arguments re: the laughable notion that ERVs establish common descent. So unless you have something new, you are welcome to go back and re-read where I destroyed your arguments before. However, if you do have something new, then throw down, and I’d be glad to rip your braindead evo “arguments” to shreds...again.

Ivanov also attempted to use ape males and human females to produce hybrids but was unable to complete the experiment because at least five of the women died.

Here is an outright lie from your link.

You don’t even understand the subject you claim to have refuted.

Laughably inept, even for a creationist.
