Keep watching.

Don't worry. I'm collecting it for posterity. At some point people will be able to read your debate without the wait.

“A chicken with a 30 foot tail would be worth paying 50 cents to
see at a gas station along Route 66.”

Especially if it was taking a sip from a 66-foot tall pop bottle,
right thar in Arcadia, OK.

Scientific knowledge has the advantage that it can be verified beyond the original observer.

Where do I get my hunting license for those things?

To I assume that some knowledge and evidence is not scientific then?

Is scientific knowledge and evidence superior to nonscientific knowledge and evidence?

Comparing a tree and an egg?

I didn't compare a tree and an egg. You're making stuff up.

I believe recent evidence suggests we share 95% of our genes with chimps. Several years back there was a report that we share 99%. That’s so much an inaccuracy as a slightly inaccurate estimation. BTW, chickens still have the genetic material for teeth. If it happened that one day someone made a dinosaur from a chicken, would that convince you of evolution? Just curious.

The consortium found that the chimp and human genomes are very similar and encode very similar proteins. The DNA sequence that can be directly compared between the two genomes is almost 99 percent identical. When DNA insertions and deletions are taken into account, humans and chimps still share 96 percent of their sequence. At the protein level, 29 percent of genes code for the same amino sequences in chimps and humans. In fact, the typical human protein has accumulated just one unique change since chimps and humans diverged from a common ancestor about 6 million years ago.

To put this into perspective, the number of genetic differences between humans and chimps is approximately 60 times less than that seen between human and mouse and about 10 times less than between the mouse and rat. On the other hand, the number of genetic differences between a human and a chimp is about 10 times more than between any two humans

No I'm not. You are the one who planted the trail of an egg to a tree. Maybe you were thinking of a bird laying an egg in a tree. Who knows with evos.
