“Of the genes that are found in both species, evolutionists have only reported on the sub-segments of the genes that are similar. Because of these highly selective studies, we really don’t know how similar human genes are to ape genes because non-similar data were discarded.”

First they allege a conspiracy - apparently they think the sequences of genes are only published IF they are very similar to chimpanzees.

“First, it looks as though all apes and monkeys contain significant portions of their genes that are very similar to parts of human genes. However, the primate genes also contain significant sections that are specific to their kind (e.g., chimp, gorilla, orangutan, etc.) that are not found in human genes.”

This is the meat of their claim - for which they provide ZERO evidence.

So they make up a conspiracy theory - and then make an assertion backed up with NOTHING.

A comparative analysis of similarity in DNA, at either the gene, or genome level - will show that among the apes - humans and chimpanzees are the most similar. Both humans and chimpanzees are more similar in DNA than either is to a gorilla.

As far as species go - would you expect a mouse and a rat to be more similar or less similar to each other in DNA than a human and a chimpanzee are?

Backed up with nothing? It is hard not to question your honesty as the sources cited are so hard to miss. The published research cited is freely available.

Materials, methods, sources, processes all documented.
