9 Science Supports Biblical Creation - Monkey Business in the Chimp Genome - Dr. Jeffrey Tomkins

In this fascinating and technically rich presentation, Dr. Jeffrey

Tomkins, geneticist and researcher at the Institute for Creation

Research, pulls back the curtain on one of the most repeated claims

in evolutionary biology: that humans and chimpanzees share 98 to 99%

of their DNA. Drawing on over 15 years of original research, Dr.

Tomkins shows that this figure was produced by cherry-picking only

the most similar regions of the two genomes while throwing out

everything that did not fit, and that the real number is closer to 84%.

From contaminated genome databases and humanized ape assemblies to

the Laetoli footprints, Lucy, and Neanderthals, this talk dismantles

the evolutionary story of human origins piece by piece and makes a

powerful case that humans were specially created in the image of God,

exactly as Genesis records.
