Hey

No you’re wrong, it is very relevant whether you claim so or not. How about this, you tell me why it’s irrelevant?
I am going to tell you why it IS relevant. Differences are relevant because it shows we are different then the apes. I mean that part is obvious. Now why are the similarities not proof we have a common ancestor? This is why, because all living stuff has similarities to them. That does not prove they are related though. People can build a table out of wood, they can also build a house out of wood, does that make the table and the house related? No. Yea they are made up of the same stuff (wood) but they are vastly different in structure and purpose. That is my point with humans and chimps.
You’re trying to say that similar biological stuff in us and chimps proves a common ancestor, NO IT DON’T. You have to ASSUME that similar stuff PROVES common ancestor. Let’s distinguish fact from assumption, or fact from theory. Let me even be nice to you by saying this, let’s suppose your THEORY is correct, that we have a common ancestor, STILL it is a theory, that means, lets distinguish the theory from the FACTS. Here are the facts, we have some similarities with apes, but we also have similarities with other animals to, on the biological level. That is a FACT. Here is another fact; we have DIFFERENCES with the apes and other animals on all levels and the biological level. That is a fact as well. Ok, here are the theories; your theory is that from the fact that we have similarities, this shows common ancestor. < That is a theory, and that is a FACT that it’s a THEORY. Here is my theory, from the differences AND similarities, God created DIFFERENT creatures, using SIMILAR building blocks. This is a common designer in other words. So, there is my theory and it is a fact that it’s a theory. But I did say I could prove God’s existence, this part is not the proof though, I will get to that part soon enough, but one thing at a time.
Here is a good article to read in response to the Chromosome 2 issue. This shows that it is not proof of common ancestor. http://swordandshield.biz/Human-Chromosome-II-A.pdf
What I mean by true science is this. True science distinguishes fact from theory, it does NOT mix the two, it can CONNECT the two, but it will NOT MIX them in order to confuse it’s audience. Second, true science makes TRUE predictions. In other words it will not discover something, THEN say it predicted it AFTER it discovered it. Also when it does make a REAL prediction before a discovery, when the thing is discovered it will FULFILL that prediction. If it does NOT fulfill that prediction, then that prediction is FALSE (false science). Thirdly true science is OPEN to be challenged, it does not get it’s pants in a bundle when others challenge it. It does not have the attitude “don’t question my theories”. Next true science is not proud, it goes where the WEIGHT of the evidence points, it does not go where the NUMBER of people follow parse. Many things in history get revolutionized, we can’t follow that, we must follow the evidence, not the consensus based on a revolution. If anything, WE MUST be the revolutionaries, not follow the consensus from those who already did a revolution. If we don’t do that, we are COWARDS, SICK cowards. THIS is how true science works. The opposite of this, is FALSE science.
Well it is irrelevant. Not only are we extremely similar looking to primates but we are relatives through our genetic make up.

Regardless. This method is used in our everyday lives. What is meant by "true science" and "false science"? Science does not deal in absolutes or "proofs". It's discoveries aren't static. The field of science is open to change and welcomes change to its discoveries.
