If I may,
While I don't agree or think that the earth is only 6 thousand years old I also have a couple problem's with this chimp thing.
Here's the problemo's:
First: When the research of chimp DNA and human DNA is found to be "SIMILAR" what does that mean? Of course, a common ancestor.
Second: When the research of chimp DNA and human DNA is showing "DIFFERENCES" what does that mean? Of course, this is Evolution. Because it shows the "Changes" that occurred between chimp and man.
You see the problem I have with this is that, YOU CAN'T LOSE "EITHER WAY". How does that show a useful consistent scientific framework?
We can just as easily say:
Similar DNA means , common DESIGNER and
Differences of DNA shows, the designer "CONSCIOUSLY" created variety.
I understand what CreationMan is showing that the common ancestor for dogs are "dogs". The variety we see in dogs shows a common ancestor of the "SAME" species. You can still interbreed dogs. You can't do that with a Chimp and Human, and if you could would you...euw
