The purpose of Genesis 2:18-19 was to show Adam, and you and me, that animals and man are different. We didn't evolve from an animal, because we were different from the beginning.
Then why are we so similar? Why do Chimpanzees and other primates share a significant percentage of DNA? Why do we have similar non-transcribed DNA (such as endogenous retrovirus remnants) as other primates in a manner that _strongly_ suggests a common heritage and an hierarchical order. Why is our chromosomes structure so similar?
Why would god make us so close to other primates if he wanted to demonstrate that we are somehow different. Did god also have a fondness for monkeys?
