I didn't even get the gist of what the article was about while I skimmed it, apart from more anti-evolution nonsense. What the hell is a cambanzy? Im not getting many google hits. Is this a creationist invented word?
I'm guessing cambanzy is an African transliteration of "chimpanzee". The percentage of DNA matchup is indeed 98% -- 98.4%, according to the Phys Anth class I took about 242 years ago.
I didn't read the whole thing, because as you and others have pointed out, AiG is to science what tuberculosis is to running a marathon.
To answer the OP:
The fact that all known forms of life on Earth use the same five amino acids to construct their DNA using the same basic template is powerful evidence of common ancestry. The exact percentages can be argued, but the lineal descent of all animals from a common ancestor is a fact.
People who reject evolution as a fact either don't understand evolution, don't understand science, or don't understand that religion is no way to interrogate the Universe.
Period.
