I never made the statement that chimps and humans share 99% of their DNA. Unlike you I keep up with such things and knew that the % was less than that. The notion wasnt debunked, it was refined as addition data was acquired thru investigation and observation brought about by continuous application of the scientific method and the very human insatiable curiosity thirsting for new knowledge. Each human generation has be driven to understand their existence within the limits of their contemporary knowledge and understanding. Its this intellectual evolution that has differentiated us from the other animals.
Open question to all of the deniers: What evidence would convince you that, for example, humans and chimps evolved from a common ancestor? Over/under for the number of answers to this we will get: 0.5. Take the under.
Zero things. What will convince someone we landed on the moon or that the earth is round? You can fix ignorance, but you can't fix willingly stupid.
The ICR (Institute for Creation Research) and journal require that all members adhere to the following statement of belief. Statement of Belief: The Bible is the written Word of God, and because it is inspired throughout, all its assertions are historically and scientifically true in the original autographs. To the student of nature this means that the account of origins in Genesis is a factual presentation of simple historical truths. All basic types of living things, including man, were made by direct creative acts of God during the Creation Week described in Genesis. Whatever biological changes have occurred since Creation Week have been accomplished only changes within the original created kinds. The great flood described in Genesis, commonly referred to as the Noachian Flood, was an historic event worldwide in its extent and effect. We are an organization of Christian men and women of science who accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. The account of the special creation of Adam and Eve as one man and one woman and their subsequent fall into sin is the basis for our belief in the necessity of a Savior for all mankind. Therefore, salvation can come only through accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior. As far as I know, no mainstream scientific journal requires its authors to sign a statement of belief. One wonders why creationist journals do.
confirming their adamantine confirmation bias up front doesnt in anyway validate the bullshit they try to peddle Its the Institute of Historical Revisionism, in different clothing, theres just more self righteous believers.
