Also, yes, you do hate God, even though you claim not to know who or what God is.
You have the God of the scriptures about whom you have read. You hate him and what he represents, therefore you hate God, because the God of the scriptures is the one true God, just like he was during the days of the Jews when he destroyed the Egyptians.
He is the one true God, the God of the Universe, and Jesus Christ is his son, our saviour.
And you hate him!

I don't hate God. I don't even believe in him/her/it/them. What I hate is the dogma of christianity. I do agree that many of the teachings of Jesus are beautiful. However, there is plenty of disgusting behavior rationalized in the bible as well.

You'll have to ask God that when you meet him.
There are a lot of anatomical and biological similarities between men and apes, as you say, as there are among all of God's creatures, and therefore also a lot of genetic similarities in proportion to the anatomical and biological similarities.
This is because they have a common designer. A four chromosome alteration still constitutes a very significant amount of genetic information that you claim has been altered by an accidental muta More..

Chromosome fusions are not really that rare and have been observed in science.

Again, just because science has not done it does not mean it can't be done.
Are you really suggesting that science takes a fertile human embryo and alters its DNA in order to turn it into an ape? You are against abortion but want scientists to play around with a perfectly good embryo just to see what happens? If it lives what do we do with it? Is it human? Is it ape? More..

Who said that the resulting organism was "vastly more complex"?
How is a human more complex than a chimp? I would argue that we have slightly better mental capacity than a chimp. Other than that they are physically superior to us in most ways. A 90 lb chimp is stronger than a 200 lb man.
Personally I think bacteria are superior to humans in many ways. They can make every amino acid from sugar. We can't. Imagine eating nothing but rock candy all day and having perfect nutrition. More..

And no, the experiment wouldn't kill a baby, it would create an entirely new race of former human. If the experiment worked it would result in life, not end it.
Would you do me a favor and just STFU already? I'm finding it quite hard to remain civil.

Slightly higher mental capacity?
Speak for yourself! There is a huge difference between chimp and human intelligence. Look at what we have accomplished in art, science, etc. Yeah, I know, Christians are against science? Nothing could be further from the truth. We are against lies disguised as science.

I never said the chromosome fusion magically created a human. I say the chromosome fusion is evidence supporting the direct relationship between humans and apes. There are thousands of mutations beyond the chromosome fusion. Remember the sizes of the genomes I linked last night? Even if thousands and thousands of mutations occur that still is less than 1% difference. That's how huge genomes are.

Yes, exactly, it's speculative and inconclusive, and that is why I keep telling you that the genetic evidence can be viewed from both perspectives, the creationist and the evolutionist perspective.
Dawkins says BTW that the genetic evidence for evolution is the most convincing evidence for it.
When you look beyond the sphere of genetics and examine all the evidence, things emerge undeniably in favor of the creationist side.

When do I ever talk about God other than when I say that I do not see evidence supporting a belief in God? Sure I attack christianity, but I do not rule out the possibility of forces beyond our understanding. I simply see no evidence suggesting the God of the bible is correct.

Evolution is supported by nothing!
The fossil record does not support it, the theory of abiogenesis is totally impossible, and the evidence for a young age of the earth, which you have conspicuously ignored, are irrefutable.
All you have are highly questionable radioisotope dating methods that rely on all kinds of unsupportable assumptions.

Radioisotope dating is based on the observable fact that radioactive decay is essentially constant. It's your "data" that tries to say that radioactive decay accelerated in the past. This acceleration would have melted Earth.
You can't even debate the fact that radioisotopes suggest an old Earth. You have to argue that radioactive decay rates changed. Something that is totally taken on faith and unsupported.
That's not science. That's total bullshit.

Jonathan Wells and many other scientists who are better educated than you disagree with you on evolution and I have seen how you jump to conclusions based on philosophical preference.
On the dating issue, we have empirical scientific evidence that suggests very strongly that decay rates were accellerated. We also have evidence that parent and daughter elements are highly sensitive to contamination.

Jonathan Wells is a tool. Sun Myung Moon payed for his 2nd PhD at UC Berkley specifically just to have a person who would be critical of Darwinism with a PhD after his name. He has no true interest in biology and is the exact opposite of a objective scientist. He looks only for data the goes against Darwinism (and he can't find much).
He isn't a true scientist. He is a tool for the anti-darwinist movement.
A true scientist would ask if Darwinism is correct and would objectively investigate More..

If you were to ask a class of first year biochem students on the first day of school if they believe in the theory of evolution how many would say yes?

CPU limit exceeded on the BLAST search. I'll tone it down to a single gene. I tried to compare such a huge region of DNA and it overloaded the computers.
I ran a blast search for the gene of the protein Actin. Actin is a critical structural protein in the cells of all eukaryotes. It should be relatively conserved across all plants and animals.

Genetic similarity does not prove your hypothesis that we evolved from an ape like ancestor.
There are many genetic similarities across species but that is just as easily evidence of a common designer.

There is no such thing as a macro transitional. Everything occurs in Micro stages. Any Macro change requires hundreds of Micro changes. You purposefully demand fossils that evolutionists never expect to exist in the first place.
It's funny that you claim there are no transitional fossils when there are so many Ape to Human transitionals that it becomes hard to draw the line when it even stops being Human and becomes Ape. We have so many transitional fossils that it's essentially a continuous More..

The medieval priesthood did not publicly publish everything it did and demand absolute transparency to the public for everything it did. Remember the whole "climategate" fiasco a few months ago?

This article is a complete failure at explaining why we could have both 90% and 95% similarity with chimpanzees at the same time. This could occur by comparing different genes, entire genomes, amino acid sequences, or just open reading frames. When scientists claim that X is 95% similar to Y they always qualify that statement with what exactly they are comparing. The article you posted doesn't explain this at all.

Manually altering the DNA of bacteria is a little different than postulating that such an alteration could happen accidentally in a vastly more complex organism.
I have seen the shortcomings of genetic engineering in the food industry via Monsanto. Even carefully calculated and deliberate alterations of DNA produce degenerative and unpredictable effects, along with whatever benefits are expected from the alteration.

Granted, my comparison of genome size is unfair since Arabidopsis thaliana has a small genome. There are plants with much larger genomes. But still, I provided the most robust plant genome science can offer. By all means show me similarities on par with the similarities between Chimp and Human genomes.
