Evolutionists frequently assert that the similarity in DNA sequences provides evidence that all organisms (especially human and chimps) are descended from a common ancestor. However, DNA similarity could just as easily be explained as the result of a common Creator.
Emphasis on percent DNA similarity misses the point because it ignores both the magnitude of the actual differences. Incidentally, we share 50% of our DNA with bananas but we are certainly not half yellow and mushy!
Why is it important to establish this matter of origins? See the comment from American Atheists (often it takes a non-Christian view to provoke our slumber) :
"No Adam and Eve means no need for a savior. It also means that the Bible cannot be trusted as a source of unambiguous, literal truth. It is completely unreliable, because it all begins with a myth, and builds on that as a basis. No Fall of Man means no need for atonement and no need for a redeemer."
Hence, this is not an issue of evidence, rather this is matter of authority – God's Word or man's word. The power of the Gospel message rests on an accurate understanding right from the very first verse of the Bible!
