DNA Was Created as a Reservoir for the Information of Life
Secular scientists claimed in the 1970s that chimp genomes are 98% similar to humans, and it was apparently verified by more modern techniques. But that estimate actually used isolated segments of DNA that we already share with chimps—not the whole genomes. The latest comparison that included all of the two species’ DNA revealed a huge difference from the percentage scientists have been claiming for years.
Some people would rather be a chimp than to have been created by a loving God.
Any discrepancy between what was once believed and what is now believed is a result of better techniques and technologies and is not evidence of intelligent design or of a divine origin of life.
What is a “secular scientist”?
As if we could choose! And didn't a loving god create chimps?

Really? I’ve never heard a secular person say that.
I think you might be making that up.
To make that utterance illustrates conclusively you ignorance in the matter.
I think even chimps know the universe is older than 6-10,000 years old.
They aren't going to say it that way. They will say that we evolved from apes. They will say that dispite the lack of evidence because they WANT it to be true. And the reason they want it to be true is that they do not want to be beholden to a Creator.
Anyone who denies CAGW.
Scientist = A primate trying to determine what a Rolex watch actually is.. bemused by movement and shine..
** Then you got other primates watching the scientists trying to make these determinations.. too lazy to actually leave the “tree” and observe closely.. and pretty much could care less.. But are more concerned with sex and food.. and grooming..

I’m sorry, but I have to continue to disagree. That is the spin a person of faith puts on the issue.
It is not about ‘wanting’, it’s about what is viewed as evidence.
The best evidence against intelligent design is chaos. DNA ain’t it.
“Will evolution be called into question now that the similarity of chimpanzee and human DNA has been reduced from >98.5% to ~95%? Probably not.”
poor leftists, their error derives from their basic assumptions, not from the inaccuracy of their instruments. thanks for the post.
“But are more concerned with sex and food.. and grooming..”
That, right there proves the relationship.

Marriage is a legal contract, not a relationship..
Relationships are kinds of friendship..
I’ve apparently got a dictionary that’s different from yours. Relationship: the way in which two or more concepts, objects, or people are connected, or the state of being connected.
Such as, what is the relationship between sandstone and quartzite?
What is the relationship of Jane and Lucy, are they cousins?
Phylogenetics and cladistics are fascinating subjects and I’d suggest that people learn about them rather than take the easier path of ignorance that ICR offers.
