So, now that little distraction is out of the way, Varqa can you give me some evidence to show that there's 'more to us humans than just DNA, morphology, physiology and all the other "Logies" combined'?

How does a similarity in DNA, morphology and physiology prove that there is common decent?

Again, I have made no such claim, are you being simple on purpose?

So do you or do you not believe that chimps and humans have a common decent?

Can't you ever defend what you believe? Or do you only like to tear other people's beliefs apart?

You atheists pride yourself in being logical? Any baboon can see that there is more to us humans than just DNA, morphology, physiology and all the other "Logies" combined.

So what? We share 70% of our genes with broccoli - do you expect it to go exploring the universe?

No. I can't. I guess your narcissism lets you see it another way though.

If you share 70% of your genes with broccoli, it means you are related?

98% for chimps;

"The chimpanzee and human genomes are more than 98% identical, but there are a few short DNA sequences that have changed significantly in humans since the two species diverged about 5 million years ago (see Pollard et al., http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgen.0020168). These 'Human Accelerated Regions' (HARs) provide clues into our evolution. (Photograph: Image by Owen Booth.) "

http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/medicalnews.php?newsid=54069

"The first comprehensive comparison of the genetic blueprints of humans and chimpanzees shows our closest living relatives share perfect identity with 96 percent of our DNA sequence, an international research consortium reported today."

http://www.genome.gov/15515096

However, this is 96 - 98% (irrespective of the exact figure, it's very high) of the DNA sequence. The percentage of genes shared is probably higher still.

Yes. This is the basis of cladistics.

Well, we have a mechanism, for explaining it, which has been substantively tested and verified, and we have lineages of fossils which show divergence (for example Lucy is probably the best known).

Your alternate excuse is, of course, "magic man done it".

I have heard that the activity of the genes is very important, is that right?

Yes, Veggie, your logic is as brilliant as ever. I'm stupid because YOU are related to a VEGETABLE.

It's no wonder you wash your hair in the kitchen sink, cause that's where all the vegetables are washed.

By the same logic, you are related to all people on Earth. Therefore all sex is incest.
