Humans vs. ChimpsBible and Brains Explain Human-Chimp Similaritiesby Fazale (Fuz) R. Rana, Ph.D. “Isn’t the 99% genetic similarity between humans and chimps evidence for evolution?” When I speak on science-faith issues, I am almost always asked this question. The inquiry rarely takes me by surprise, but my reply often catches people a bit off-guard. “The biblical creation accounts readily accommodate the human-chimpanzee genetic likenesses. In fact, they predict them.” Chimpanzee Behavior Supports RTB's Model for Humanity's Origin, Part 1Posted by Fazale 'Fuz' Rana, Ph.D. Chimps Live in Caves, Hunt with Spears, and Make ToolsChimpanzee Behavior Supports RTB’s Model for Humanity’s Origin, Part 2Posted by Fazale ‘Fuz’ Rana, Ph.D. Chimps Live in Caves, Hunt with Spears, and Make Tools Do Humans and Chimps Belong In The Same Genus?Fazale (Fuz) Rana, Ph.D. A recent scientific study created a stir by asserting that humans and chimpanzees belong to the same genus.1 Morris Goodman, an evolutionary biologist from Wayne State University, and his research team generated this excitement when they compared human and chimpanzee genes.2 Do Humans and Chimps Belong In The Same Genus?by Fazale (Fuz) Rana, Ph.D. A recent scientific study created a stir by asserting that humans and chimpanzees belong to the same genus.1 Morris Goodman, an evolutionary biologist from Wayne State University, and his research team generated this excitement when they compared human and chimpanzee genes.2 First Chimpanzee Fossils Cause Problems for Evolutionby Fazale (Fuz) R. Rana, Ph.D. Where were you on September 1, 2005? Perhaps you missed the announcement of a scientific breakthrough: the influential journal Nature published the completed sequence of the chimpanzee genome.1 This remarkable achievement received abundant publicity because it paved the way for biologists to conduct detailed genetic comparisons between humans and chimpanzees.2 Human and Chimps DifferBy Fazale R. Rana, Ph.D. Humans and chimps share 99 percent gene similarity. So goes one of the most common and seemingly convincing arguments that humans and chimpanzees arose from a common ancestor.1 The fact that chimpanzees and humans possess proteins with similar immunological properties may seem to offer further support, but the striking genetic similarity may be less striking than these particular facts suggest. Nor does genetic similarity necessarily argue for natural-process evolution. The Latest on Human-Chimpanzee Genetic Comparisons, Part 1 of 2Posted by Fazale ‘Fuz’ Rana, Ph.D. The 1% Myth The Neanderthal-Human Soap Opera ContinuesPosted by Fazale ‘Fuz’ Rana, Ph.D. Human DNA Contamination Explains Away Genetic Evidence for Human-Neanderthal Interbreeding Uniqueness of Human Capacity to Express MaliceHugh Ross, Ph.D. One of the cornerstone doctrines of the Christian faith is that humans alone among all life-forms on Earth are sinners. According to the Bible, all humans and only humans are born with the propensity to commit evil acts. That being the case, it should not be difficult for scientists to develop tests to confirm or deny this essential teaching of the Christian faith. Uniqueness of Social Cognition in Humansby Hugh Ross, Ph.D. One of the cornerstone doctrines of the Christian faith is that humans alone among all life-forms on Earth are created in the image of God. Part of this image entails that humans are spiritual beings uniquely endowed with the physical apparatus to engage in spiritual activity. According to the Bible, this image of God did not evolve within the human species. It appeared fully established and fully functional when God created the first human male and female.
