Chimp DNA Mutation Study—Selective Yet Surprising

by Jeffrey Tomkins, Ph.D. *

Scientists just published a study describing chimp DNA mutation rates and compared a number of cherry-picked genomic regions to human—and this research doubled their evolutionary timeline. However, the selective data did not account for the vast chasm of documented genome differences that were not included in the analyses.

The first important point is that the comparative data was clearly cherry-picked—the scientists only used the regions that were about 98% similar and essentially threw out everything else. These are the regions that the researchers stated "can be aligned with high confidence." It appears that all the dissimilar DNA regions got tossed out because they didn't fit the evolutionary paradigm and would have made the whole idea of chimps evolving into humans completely impossible.

In confirmation of this widely known, but seldom discussed, inconvenient fact among those evolutionists working in the field was a comprehensive study published in 2013 by this author. In that research, I compared each individual chimpanzee chromosome to human (piece-by-piece) and it was shown that the chimpanzee genome was only 70% similar on average to human, with only short regions being highly similar.

The reality of the situation is that simply adding more time doesn't solve evolution's immense problems. Giving evolution another 6 or 7 million years still does not explain why chimps and humans are so vastly different, not only in their anatomy and behavioral traits but also the glaring 30% difference in their genomes—some 900,000,000 DNA letter differences. Jesus Christ compared this type of philosophically flawed selective attitude to "straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel!" When the entire genomes are compared between humans and chimps, it becomes clear that they were each engineered uniquely and separately by an Omnipotent Creator.
