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'?

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

Prove that humans and chimps have a 99.99% similarity in their DNA.
"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.) "

"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."

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.

Originally posted by dj2beckerWell, 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".

Turns out you're still as stupid as ever.
It's no wonder you wash your hair in the kitchen sink, cause that's where all the vegetables are washed.
