Just because there are similarities in DNA between species of organisms (i.e., man & chimp) does not imply that they have a common ancestor. Rather it argues stronger for a comon designer.
MrHambre addressed this already, but coming at this from a different angle, the evidence seems to argue for either evolution or a common designer. The evidence for evolution is copious, for a common designer missing.
Anyone can make figures say what they want, and anyone could say that on the basis of 97 chosen genes, humans and bananas are the very same species, since they are 100% identical. But of course we know this is proposterous to suggest.
This seems a purposeful distortion by any standard.
They don't accept it on scientific terms, they accept it on the word of scientists.
The key point is that scientists of all faiths (and no faiths) accept evolution, while only scientists who are also fundamentalist Christians accept Creationism.
