Has the same ring to it as the assertions made for what passes as “Climate Science” these days.
It is. It’s how science is supposed to work.
It should; evolution and global warming are the two great secular religions. Scientists are coming to understand that Darwin was out to lunch, but those who are desperate to explain away creation without bringing God into it will never give it up.
Evolution predicted that human and chimpanzee genetic material would be similar, before DNA structure was known.
It is. The one fewer count of human chromosomes is explained by two chimpanzee chromosomes adhering together. They are, through a sequence identifiable as a failed telomere.
Over 98% of chimpanzee chromosomes are sequence orders that are identical to sequence orders of the human chromosomes. There are 16 sequences of DNA that show scars of infection by a retrovirus that are commmon to human and chimpanzee.
