Get a grip. The smoking gun proof that humans share a common ancestor with primates is contained in your very own DNA

"Chimp DNA is 97% like ours, so see we come from a common ancestor". Here is an assertion that evolutionist like to whiz by Joe-6-pack on there way to calling us creationist ignorant pogues. It's just false. The human DNA has at least 3,000,000,000 nucleotides in sequence. Chimp DNA has not been anywhere near fully sequenced so that a proper comparison can be made (using a lot of computer time to do it—imagine comparing two sets of 1000 large books, sentence by sentence, for similarities and differences!). Where did the ‘97% similarity’ come from then? It was inferred from a fairly crude technique called DNA hybridization where small parts of human DNA are split into single strands and allowed to re–form double strands (duplex) with chimp DNA.

Did you also know that using this same hybridation technique we are 90% the same as Jellyfish and 95% similar to a domesticated dog. Also just do the math 3% of 3,000,000,000 is what 90 million difference. Pretty significant I'd say. Most militant evolutionist as not pro-evolution but anti-G*d. to follow the tone the article , "It's not even debatable". Prove evolution--> Means no designer\no creator --> No real moral absolutes --> Do what I want cause I want to and it makes me feel good.

I don't know one person who accepts evolution on these threads that would use that argument. How about the shared broken vitimin C gene in humans and chimps? Now that's an argument for common descent.

I won't ask you for a citation, because I know there isn't one. So let's cut to the chase; you just posted a very stupid and untruthful claim. Doesn't that bother you?

I didn't bring up that point whatever. My second sentence is: "There were rare pre-historic viral infections in our common ancestor that have left remnants in the DNA of primates and humans."

Here's a great link from Icheumon.

The retroviral DNA segments in our DNA is proof that humans and primates are descended from a single common ancestor. Not just an ancestor species, but a common *individual* creature that got a virus one day and passed it down to all of us.

You can ignore the DNA evidence. The OJ jury did.
