Humans Are Not 98% Genetically Identical to Chimpanzees
August 13, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - I have been researching the purported genetic near-identity between humans and chimps - asserted as the "scientific" basis for the Great Ape Project - and found (unsurprisingly) that the entire advocacy line that "humans and chimps share 98% of our genes" is plain false. This gets a little complicated, so stick with me.
First, the 98% figure is probably overstated. An article in Science puts the actual figure at 94%. (Jon Cohen, "Relative Differences: The Myth of 1%, June 29, 2007). But even these figures are only measuring about 2% of our total genetic makeup - that is, those genes that code for proteins, the building blocks of our physical bodies and functions.
The vast majority of our DNA, known as "non-coding DNA" - sometimes called "junk DNA" because it was once thought not to have function - is very different in humans from most non-coding genes found in chimps and other apes. However, recent research has found that, contrary to previous belief, this repetitive DNA isn’t "junk" after all, but has distinct purposes.
Research continues as to the exact nature and functions of non-coding genes, but given the wide differences between human and ape non-coding DNA, even if the purported 98% genetic similarity to coding DNA is true, it is actually only 98% of a much smaller percentage of our total genetic makeup, perhaps as low as 98% of 2%!

2. Genesis 2:7 “Then the Lord God formed man of dust
from the ground, and breathed
into his nostrils the breath of life;
and man became a living being.”

3. 3 confirmations of Genesis 2:7:1.
Moses could
never have
thought of it.
1. Moses could never have thought of it.
This verse has always intrigued me.
I tried to imagine what the human author, a semi-nomadic, tent-dwelling herdsman named Moses, would have naturally thought as he looked at his own flesh and blood and then cast his eyes down to the dry dusty earth beneath.
I put it to you that it would never have entered his mind that his physical body (on the one hand) and the dust of the earth (on the other) could possibly be made of the same substances… it’s counter-intuitive.
So, what could have caused Moses to write this verse. He didn’t get it from any of the contemporary creation myths. It stands on its own. There is no comparison to the pagan creation stories.

4. 3 confirmations of Genesis 2:7:1.
Moses could
never have
thought of it. 2.
It accords with what we know
about the
origin of life.
The verse continues:
And God “…breathed into his nostrils
the breath of life;
and man became a living being.”
2. Gen. 2:7 accords with what we know about life:
That is, LIFE must come from LIFE.
The law of biogenesis, attributed to Louis Pasteur, is the observation that:
living things come only from other living things.
Although Gen. 2:7 is laughed at and scorned by evolutionists, it accords with the laws of science.
Louis Pasteur was one of the giants of modern science. He is known for far more than the pasteurization of milk. He was the founder of modern microbiology.
He did more to stop people from getting sick and dying than any other single scientist.
He disproved the myth of ‘spontaneous generation’ showing that life always comes from life, and he carried out many experiments, which led to the germ theory of diseases.
Pasteur was a Christian, a creationist and opposed Darwinian evolution.
The Bible says that life comes from life,
and that God is the eternal life-giver.
Scientists have been trying desperately to create life.

5. Louis Pasteur 1822 – 1895 Pasteur stated: "La génération spontanée
est une chimère"
« Spontaneous generation is a dream. »
Pasteur's conclusion was
"all life is from life".

when Darwin looked

through His primitive microscope,

11. “Where does the information come from?”
We know of no other source of information
other than intelligence
that produces functional information in a digital form.

12. “The origin of life remains one of the great unsolved mysteries of science.”

agnostic scientist

13. Conclusion:
1. God has given us some amazing scientific discoveries which point to God and His Word.
We should become aware of these discoveries
and study them, so we can
use them for God’s glory.

3. So, don’t be shy about your beliefs.
Be confident and bold.
