About 8% of human DNA is viral in origin. Almost all of the viral DNA is common to all primates. There are only two possible explanations for both the commonality and the differences. It accumulated over time in our ancestors during the evolutionary process, or god put it there. The former, like everything else we understand about biology is consistent with evolution. As for the later, well there was no real reason for god to put viral DNA in all its creations. Especially since god would know that I and others like me would see the evidence for evolution and reject creationism. If that is the case my theist friends your god wants me to burn in his hell fires, and that makes him an asshole.

Not only do humans share DNA with primates, but we are also primates ourselves. We are also apes (greater apes to be specific).

Just like how God put all those fossils in the ground (or was that Satan?) and made the earth look much older than the 6,000 years it has existed just to fool people into disbelieving in biblical creationism and therefore the bible.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Huh.. I thought Ms. Lucky was one.

(Is this an invasion of bunnies?!)
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
