has just crushed random chance (evolution) as a viable theory. The hard science doesn't support it and the math doesn't support it.

Get a grip. The smoking gun proof that humans share a common ancestor with primates is contained in your very own DNA. There were rare pre-historic viral infections in our common ancestor that have left remnants in the DNA of primates and humans. The only possible explanation is a common ancestor.

As far "math doesn't support it", those efforts by creationists are based on wild assumptions that are invalid.

If there is a smoking gun here it is firing blanks. 1) Common ancestry can accommodate these alleged 'shared' 'errors', but TOE does not even predict their existence in the first place, much less that they will be in the same chromosonal locations in different species. 2) There are NO examples of ‘shared errors’ linking mammals to other species. 3) The assertion that common ancestry is the only possible explanation for endogenous retroviruses in identical chromosome locations of different species is based SOLEY on the mere ASSUMPTION that they are nonfunctional, but the fact of the matter is that they are not all nonfunctional. Some of them are active in protein expression in humans. Anyone who claims to know everything these things may be doing in a species or what their role was in the past is blowing hot air. It is just as possible that that retroviruses are a degeneration of a designed system rather than having arisen through some random process.

Cordially,

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

Just because you have common 'parts' doesn't mean you evolved from one to another. Did the Corvette evolve from a Camaro? Or did they share a common designer/engineer?

"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.
