Ok, not to joke:

No, it's not true. The articles referred to in your original post were written by a group of scientists who are pushing a young-earth creationist/intelligent design/religious agenda. While their personal beliefs do not disqualify them from producing science consistent with those beliefs, the methods utilized in coming to their conclusions are not taken seriously as "science" by the academic community at large. For instance, a thread on this site a while ago demonstrated that one person who found a much smaller percentage of DNA match between humans and chimpanzees did so by matching up the important parts of the gene sequences incorrectly.

What is true is that "humans share 98% of their DNA with chimpanzees" is probably a misunderstood statement, in that a lot of that is shared not only with Chimpanzees but with all mammals, or all chordates, or all animals. But, the general gist of your post (which was quite difficult to read) seemed to be "new advances in gene sequences shed doubt on the theory of human/chimp common descent," and that statement is absolutely not true.

Some reasons why some of us might not be answering you as seriously as you like:
1. We've heard all of this 100 times.
2. Like, seriously, 100 times.
3. Most of the people who post this stuff and then ask "is it true?" respond to the answer "no, it's not true" by aggressively defending the stuff, showing that they did not actually want an answer but simply wanted to argue against a bunch of people who like science.
4. We're automatically suspicious of possible troll-ness because, like, seriously, 100 times.
How will we know, when the morning comes, we are still human? - 2D

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.
