Before reading the rest of this post ask yourself - "what have you been TOLD" in popular media about the degree of DNA match between chimps and humans??
More than 98% match?
More than 90% match?
Or 90% of 1.5% match?
Or less than 70% match?
What were you told to "believe" by the evolutionism-marketing program?
Would you have been very willing to trade in your Bible for "very misleading" marketing about better than 98% matchup for chimps and humans?
If so - well you will have to "do more trading" as those numbers back away from that high level of fiction and start drifting towards real life.
Of our 25,000 protein "coding genes" in the human genome - how many match up with chimps?

Certainly there has been a very strong marketing campaign from 1964 to 2004 (if not to this very day).Dr. Richard Buggs, a geneticist at Queen Mary, University of London.

[FONT="]From 1964 to 2004, it was believed that humans are almost identical to apes at the genetic level. Ten years ago, we thought that the information coded in our DNA is 98.5% the same as that coded in chimpanzee DNA. This led some scientists to claim that humans are simply another species of chimpanzee. [/FONT]
"very misleading" is a synonym for "blind faith evolutionism"[FONT="]Fortunately (for both the status of human beings and the status of genetics) we now know that the 98.5% figure is very misleading. In 2005 scientists published a draft reading of the complete DNA sequence (genome) of a chimpanzee. When this is compared with the genome of a human, we find major differences.[/FONT]

Wait! they did not have chimp mapped until 2005?? where did the 1964-2004 claims come from?? Well "less than" understanding -- making do with what they had.Draft genome sequence of the common chimpanzee
Analysis of the genome was published in Nature on September 1, 2005, in an article produced by the Chimpanzee Sequencing and Analysis Consortium, a group of scientists which is supported in part by the National Human Genome Research Institute, one of the National Institutes of Health. The article marked the completion of the draft genome sequence.[4] A database [5] now exists containing the genetic differences between human and chimpanzee genes, with about thirty-five million single-nucleotide changes, five million insertion/deletion events, and various chromosomal rearrangements. Gene duplications account for most of the sequence differences between humans and chimps. Single-base-pair substitutions account for about half as much genetic change as does gene duplication.
Typical human and chimp homologs of proteins differ in only an average of two amino acids. About 30 percent of all human proteins are identical in sequence to the corresponding chimp protein
