![]() We also see this principle in nature-such as many plants and animals sharing Fibonacci or similar spirals with clear algorithms and sequences as building patterns.įigure 1. Genetic information in all living creatures is encoded as a sequence of principally 4 nucleotides (guanine, adenine, thymine, and cytosine, shown by the letters G, A, T, and C). Research has revealed that He used similar building blocks for all the various physical life forms that He created. It stands to reason that God, in His desire to create diverse life forms on Earth, would begin with the same building materials, such as DNA, carbohydrates, fats, and protein, when making various animal kinds. This fits the Biblical creation account that God created humans as spiritual beings with an everlasting spirit or soul (Genesis 2:7). In other words, they show no capacity for knowing their creator through worship or prayer. Thirdly, they do not display spiritual or religious practices as humans do. Secondly, apes use very limited verbal communication-they cannot write articles or even sentences. For example, they do not bury their dead nor do they conduct funeral rituals. First, all varieties of chimps have no concept of eternity. If the creation narrative from the Bible is true, we would expect exactly what we see in today’s ape-kinds. Then God commanded man to “rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the animals,” including chimps (Genesis 1:26). Later that Day, God made a single man in His own image, and He gave him an everlasting spirit or soul (Genesis 2:7). From the beginning, they were spirit-less animals created on Day 6 of creation. The living populations of the chimp kind include four species that can interbreed. Organ Transplants Organ Transplants (2016) alone, and currently there are over 120,000 candidates on organ transplant lists-but zero of those transplants will be made using chimp organs. If humans and chimps are so similar, then why can’t we interchange body parts with chimps? Over 30,000 organ transplants are made every year in the U.S. If human and chimp DNA is nearly identical, why can’t humans interbreed with chimps? Furthermore, such an apparently minor difference in DNA (only 1%) does not account for the many obvious major differences between humans and chimps. The 98% similarity claim fails on this basis alone. According to the latest data, there are 3,096,649,726 base pairs in the human genome and 3,309,577,922 base pairs in the chimpanzee genome. Humans have forty-six chromosomes, while chimps have forty-eight. The chimp genome is much longer than the human genome. That is an enormous difference that produces an unbridgeable chasm between humans and chimpanzees. We should evaluate the major evidences that exposes the 98% myth and supports the current conclusion that the actual similarity is 84.4%, or a difference of 15%, which translates to over 360 million base pairs’ difference. Does this issue matter? Well, it’s a matter of life and death. ![]() All of the totalitarian murderous tyrannies the world over, despite their different political variations, maintained the same Darwinian evolutionary philosophy that humans are higher animals to be herded and culled in wars, death-camps, abortions, mass starvations, and outright slaughter. One highly reputable study showed that the leading cause of death in the 20th century was “Democide”-or “murder by government,” which has claimed well over 260 million lives. This has been a primary foundation for the mistreatment of humans worldwide by genocidal political leaders and governments over the past 150 or so years. But if we all descended from Adam, not from animals, then common animal behavior such as sexual promiscuity cannot be justified on these grounds. If we are genetically related to chimps, some may conclude that humans should behave like animals, with no fear of divine justice. Why does this matter? We know that genes determine body features from gender to hair color. Yet any high school student can debunk the “Human and Chimp DNA is 98% similar” mantra that this chapter covers. People quote this statistic in hundreds of textbooks, blogs, videos, and even scientific journals. One of the great trophies that evolutionists parade to prove human evolution from some common ape ancestor is the assertion that human and chimp DNA are 98 to 99% similar. ![]() ![]() Human and Chimp DNA: Is It Really 98% Similar? ![]()
