Is it true that males share 8% more DNA in common with a banana that the fairer sex?

Nature has had ~3.5 billion years to work out the web of life. 
How long until we get the whole thing mapped, analyzed and optimized by capitalist genetic engineers? 

Will the peasants survive?
Does soylent green really taste like chicken?
What bio-tech company would you recommend as a long term investment in a tax deferred account?
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh

So what is your solution to global warming?


a decent biological start would be to get cows to sequester their farts. Tongue

I'd rather him dumb it down so online atheists won't quote about atheism regarding evolution. As someone who loves science, that just pisses me off that we have atheists who praise science but can't come up with more than three setences pertaining to biology.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
