If humans are "special" how come we share 98% of our genes with Chimpanzees?

Bingo! Scientific theories can have consequences outside of science. And some wonder why Creationists have such a big problem with evolutionary theory, as though we're all just morons stumbling in the dark, on the way to the seance.

It isn't the fossil record, radiometric dating methods, or genetic evidence that some take issue with necessarily. Perhaps there's more to it; perhaps they've caught on to the idea of things Darwinian as a "universal acid."

So you disagree with the scientific finding that we share 98% of our genes with chimpanzees?

So what? The fact that there are consequences doesn't invalidate the theory or supporting evidence.
