I have to wait for 30 day

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.

i want an answer but the members r joking
i but a link says that humans and rats r 99% the same in dna
i want u to explain it
and explain the first part that says we share only 89% not 98%
iam looking for answers
iam not here for arguing
..
I hope some one helps me finding a way to share links
