@Johnf85 Having sequenced a human genome does not mean the sequence is understood. In fact there is so much in human genome sequences that are still not understood. The phrase "mapped the human genome" is actually misleading. Ask any biologist so that you will know that only a small percentage of a human genome is well understood. Do you even know that there are no fossil evidence a human-chimp common ancestor? A common ancestor is just a speculative concept based on rate of mtDNA mutation.

@daogdaog Read what you just wrote and just for a moment, pretend your not anti-evolution, and see how desperate you are. You point out words like 'thought' and 'may be' to criticize, and then use a similar word: new studies 'suggest'. Chromosome fusion and erv's are not shaky biology. Your words are that biologist are too sure about something because they dont know enough about dna. genetic biologists are very positive of how to sequence the genome. Using a 1.5% number doesnt change facts.

haha when he said "NO" i was like ummm...

wikipedia : ERVs are sequences in the genome THOUGHT to be derived from ancient viral infections. Endogenous retroviruses MAY BE a variant of a retrovirus. THOUGHT and MAY BE suddenly become irrefutable evidence? New studies suggest that those sequence so called ERV actually aid during transcription. Even now biologists still unable to decipher so many segments in DNA. How can they be so sure about something they dont know much about? Genes only make up around 1.5% of the genome.

@flatpicker1234 Maybe if the creator wants to trick everybody. YOUR genome contains this virus. So either a creator just put all the same viruses in you as a suspiciously similar group of species (actually cousins) all the way back to a random origin (actually a common ancestor who originally got infected). If you get aids, it will transcribe into your dna and you will pass it to your kids. Its not "created with common genes" in that a creator just put it there. your right its a silly question

You already know, we were individually created. Believing otherwise just makes a monkey outta ya.
GSFY – what, you're stark staring mad! No matter how much you may fantasise about mating with a gorilla it won't produce a chimp, people have already suggested you can try it and prove it for yourself! And let's not forget that you also claimed that humans mated with chimps to produce Neanderthals, perhaps you could try and replicate that as well? Let us know when you've been successful!!

@KrokrX - Jimmy believes in things that are proven absolutely, so it is my guess that he has actually tried that, but no chimp would have him.
