Have you ever heard someone say that evolution “must be true” because human and chimp’s DNA are so similar? Statements like “less than 1–2% difference in DNA” have been thrown around in schools, colleges, museums, TV shows, and documentaries as if it were a fact for years now. It has been so powerful in convincing people as incontrovertible truth as to the legitimacy of the story of evolution. It has even caused many a compromising Christian to adopt evolution as God’s creative mechanism, despite its massive negative theological connotations. But it’s demonstrably false.
