And it is obvious that you are clueless as to what science really is.

Notice they don't dare use the word "proof" when they talk about human and chimp DNA, they use the word "evidence", which means nothing in true science. True science deals in proof, not "evidence",

Pure unadultered BS, there is NO proof in science, just as there are no FACTS in science, there is verifiable evidence, which in your case, you would understand to be facts, but science does not have facts, and never will.

You need to get a grip.

and they still cannot prove humans evolved from chimps

And we did not evolve from chimps, and science has NEVER claimed that to be the case. At some point in the past, the chimpanzees and we humans had a common ancestor, we evolved separately FROM that COMMON ANCESTOR.

Now quit spewing nonsense and learn about science, instead of listening to your illinformed creationist buddies.

For every left-wing wacko there is an equal and opposite right-wing wacko.

That is the harmony of nature.

Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes ---chimps and gorillas have 24 pairs. How many pairs of chromosomes did the "common ancestor" have? Was it 23 or 24 pairs? How do you "evolve" missing or added chromosomes ---that would happen all at one time. If a chimpanzee gives birth to a creature with 23 chromosomes, that offspring isn't going to be a well-formed chimpanzee able to survive well. Evolve would imply the genetic material changes little by little --not some big loss of two chromosomes at once but I don't see how they'd go away gene by gene.
