96 PERCENT CHIMP: They've done the chimpanzee genome - and we're 96 percent the same DNA. If you're one of the 70 percent of evangelical Christians who believe we were all made on one day 6,000 years ago, best not to read the link.
So let me get this straight. (1) Andrew believes that we spawned from monkeys. (2) Monkeys and humans share 96% of the same DNA. (3) Therefore, humans evolved from monkeys.
A don't mean to be a drag, but what about dogs:
...Because of this latter benefit, scientists and doctors interested in understanding more about human diseases see the dog genome paying off in the realm of human health as well. Dr. Elaine Ostrander of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Wash. is currently conducting research into how cancer is passed down in dog families. Humans and dogs have almost identical DNA, so whatever information this investigation turns up should benefit human cancer research as well.
Hmmm, so humans and dogs have almost identical DNA, too. I'll bet you this is the case with almost all mammals to varying degrees. What does this prove? Well, either we evolved from rabbits to dogs to monkeys to humans. Or, the same hand used the same tools to form the differing organisms.

Natural selection results in a net loss of information in the genome—not a net gain, which is required by molecules-to-man evolution.
