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 have already. It's without a doubt that (visually) we resemble other primates. It's the genetic part I focus on. It's simply a fact that we are related.

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.
Who, but you is looking for "proof"? I never said proof. We have strong evidence informing us of our bond. Ofcourse we're extremely similar as well as there are some differences. In the multitude of responses and videos given this has been discussed. As far as primates...my money is on us being more similar (visually and genetically) than we are different. What I find so interesting is that you don't apply these same objections to DNA mapping/sequencing when in the cases of paternity. We actually go above and beyond showing evidence of mans relationship to primates but use less effort to show strong evidence that a child (A) is related to parents (B and C).

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.
Uh oh..! I smell a strawman argument.
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.
No, I'm not trying to "prove" anything. I'm simply displaying the evidence. You do understand that there is a difference?
Let’s distinguish fact from assumption, or fact from theory.
You almost had my attention but sadly you FAIL. In the scientific community a theory is considered a fact.

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.
Well I don't require evidence or proof of "God" here. If we're simply debating the evidence for or against evolution and common decent then "God" is of little importance here. My argument is for it on a genetic level and minutely on the visual characteristics and similarities in regards to our body (i.e eyes, ears, hands....etc.).
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
Oh my...! You have to do a little better than this. This doesn't even compare as a valid response to the video I presented previously.

He pieced his work together by citing bits and pieces of other's work. I've checked out some of the others and they go into way more detail FOR common decent. He structured his paper together to fit his preconceived notions. Don't believe me? Look at his "credentials". He misrepresents himself as though he is actually qualified to address and refute the ToE but he's not.
