Two of them? Must have been big ones - kilowatt range, at least.

And that "declaration" has zero value as empirical evidence.

Any objective non-prejudicial observer looking at both sets of data must conclude that the DNA evidence of the Aaronic Priesthood far out weighs any chimp/human DNA similarities....

Of course the Cohens are all closely related because they're all human. Of course they're more closely related to each other than they are to chimps.

That says nothing about how closely related all humans are to chimps. In effect, you're saying: I'm more closely related to my brother than I am to you - therefore, I'm not related to you at all. But even the Bible says that you and I are related - our common ancestors include Noah and Adam.

... the issue is moot and further proves a major Biblical claim and its context.

No. Even if evolution was totally false, that wouldn't "prove" anything about the Bible. The Bible could still be totally false too.

If the Cohen lineage in question descends from the Aaronic Priesthood (and it does) THEN the only context that Priesthood exists in enjoys the benefit of the evidence.

Nonsense. If the DNA evidence shows that all of the Cohens are related, then the DNA evidence is the only relevant context. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the Bible.

Similarly, the human/chimp DNA evidence is relevant only in its own context. There is no "special pleading".

Atheists always ask for evidence proving Biblical claims.

First, I am not an atheist. Second, I did not ask you for evidence for any Biblical claim. This is not a Bible forum. Please try to keep up.

Although I will recognize that your illogical abilities are "system wide"....

Anybody can see who is logically impaired here. Or is it just that you are unfamiliar with the English language? By the way, the "=" sign is not an English word.

since you actually believe apes morphed into men.

I never said any such thing. Please read before you post.

You do believe in miracles - ones that support your worldview.

I don't have a "world view". I can see quite a bit of it out my window, but I understand there's a whole lot over on the other side that I can't see from here.
