Basic Math Challenge: Chimpanzee and Human DNA divergence

The fact that you can admit it does not gives me great hope for you...

What, exactly, do you think I am "admitting"?

I am saying it may not be true but it may be...or that it could not be true because it could....but what I am saying is declare the real data we actually have (minus the speculation of what it means) and also declare the "historical narrative" attached, but declare it as just that...a "belief" not a fact.

I never predicted 70%,

I recall you averring at some point that as more research was done the similarity would be reduced to 70%. I'll do some searching next time I'm on a computer.

Well by all means but the thought never occurred to me and I've been doing this for over ten years. I've always maintained 95%-96%, as does all the credible research. If you find me saying something else somewhere I will be glad to help clear that up.

When you said "The fact that you think science proves things or that there is such a thing as scientific proof is not a good sign."

This is an indirtect admission that science does not prove anything (not really) which true about somethings and not true about others. Regarding the subject at hand it proves nothing.

But, but, but placoderms...

You shouldn't use Sagan quotes at the bottim because though he was a genius he was an idiot...we have no extant texts of the Library of Alexandria, and there are not "billions of planets teeming with life" and so much more....he was a fancy more educated version of Bill Nye.
