As usual the actual science is a far cry from what is reported to the credulous.

The Y chromosome, because it passes through males, because it doesn't undergo meiotic recombination, changes more rapidly than other genetic regions. This has been known for ages among those who actually know and understand biology.

Our gene sequence (the DNA that specifies the code for a protein) are still 98% the same.

Over our entire genome there is some 4-6% difference, depending upon how they want to ‘score’ it.

The Y chromosome is the ‘odd man out’: pun intended.

And to those of you who dismiss “chance” and think it is some synonym for ‘not under God's control’ I suggest you read Prov 16:33.

The dice are thrown, but the LORD determines every outcome

Are you trying to claim that any Y chromosome differences can be accommodated in an ape-human evolution scenario? Why did one researcher characterize the result as “astounding”? Maybe you ought to let him know about it.

If you want to start using the Bible, you cannot believe in evolution without doing violence to Genesis.
