We share 97% of our DNA with chimps. You, maybe 200%.

Chimps and bonobos may actually be smarter than man. They aren't getting out of bed on Sunday morning and putting on their fancy go-to-meetin' clothes to listen to some other ape tell them they are going to hell if they don't give a tenth of their bananas to him.

Wtf? There is some asshole scammer working for a faux-research organization who misrepresents science and you didn't hear about him?! That is strange.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

98.8 % commonality isn't a "drastic divergence".

bla bla bla 
His specialty and education is in plants. 
"Dr. Tomkins earned a master’s degree in plant science in 1990 from the University of Idaho, where he performed research in plant hormones. He received his Ph.D. in genetics from Clemson University in 1996. While at Clemson, he worked as a research technician in a plant breeding/genetics program, with a research focus in the area of quantitative and physiological genetics in soybeans. .....In 2009, Dr. Tomkins joined the Institute for Creation Research. 

That about all you need to know. 

His views are WAY out of the consensus in Genetics, and he could not get a job anywhere else.

I'm calling god-of-the-gaps here. Not having an answer doesn't mean that the default answer is "god(s) did it".
