==You claimed that DNA similarity could be explained by physical and lifestyle similarity.

Actually, a common designer explains DNA similarities. I was merely stating that organisms have been designed to have similar body plans and similar functional needs will quite naturally be similar in terms of their
genetic/epigenetic blueprint.

==You also claimed that the DNA similarity observed between humans and chimps that is greater than either’s similarity to gorilla DNA was a “logical impossibility”.

You are quite right. See above.

==Now that I have shown you (and you have sourced yourself) numerous data that show this to be the case you claim I am ‘quaintly attached to DNA’.

The most recent research demonstrates that even your fellow Temple of Darwin fanatics are being forced to insert question marks into their human-chimp catechism. You can't even get your own position right, let alone my position. But you are correct about one thing...you are indeed ‘quaintly attached to DNA.’

I have my position and it is clearly stated and agrees with the data both you and I have sourced.

You have your position and it is contradicted by the data both you and I have sourced.

Your two specific claims about DNA are contradicted by the data. More similar animals will not have more similar DNA in the case of chimps and gorillas, new world and old world vultures, and many other examples. And despite your attempt at selective quotation of a paper, both the paper you sourced and I clearly tell you that chimps and humans are more similar to each other in DNA than either is to a gorilla.

Obviously you are having problems reconciling the truth that God has put before us in terms of DNA sequence data, and your preposterous claims to know God's mind enough to declare reality to be a “logical impossibility”.

Thanks for the laughs. :)
