Table 2. Factually erroneous evolutionary claims about human-primate ancestry
Evolutionary ClaimActual Data Human-chimpanzee genetic identity is 98-99% Actual genetic identity is only 88% (i.e., 400,000,000 DNA differences exist between the two species) Humans are genetically closer to apes than to other animal species, unequivocally demonstrating common ancestry Relative hierarchies are characteristics of design Human chromosome #2 arose via fusion of two ape-like chromosomes
The purported “fusion” site is actually a functional DNA element in a human gene
Gene order along chromosomes has no function, therefore shared gene order demonstrates common ancestryGene order along chromosomes does indeed perform a function Humans and chimpanzees shared genetic mistakes (e.g., pseudogenes)
Pseudogenes appear to be functional DNA elements, not mistakesHumans possess the broken remnants of an ancient chicken gene (vitellogenin) No such remnant exists; instead the “fragment” appears to be a functional DNA element
Additional Refences
"Fuzzy words." Words that evolutionists typically use when they have no observable evidence to support their claims. (Mike Riddle)“In a recent issue of Science News magazine, for example, we find the first fuzzy words in the article's title: "Bubbles may have sheltered early life." Did you spot it? Yes, it's the phrase "may have."
In the second paragraph, we read: "Such a snug hideout could have shielded microbes from ultraviolet radiation." Right – the words "could have".
In the next paragraph, a geologist is quoted as saying that the work is "very plausible" – another way of getting you to accept the scientist's wishful thinking.
In the remaining paragraphs, we find two more "could haves", a "may have", a "perhaps", a "might have" and two instances of "appeared to be".
"If microbes survived in these pockets on early Earth, they could potentially have done so on other planets such as Mars.
"The words "if" and "potentially" should have set off the critical thinking alarm bells in our minds.
Contrary to this “story-telling” approach, the Bible avoids fuzzy words and phrases. “The Bible doesn't try to trick or deceive us. Its words are true because its Author is Truth and His words endure forever.”

Darwinists Answer "Ten Questions" with Evasions and Falsehoods
- Discovery Institute- January 15, 2002
"The NCSE introduces its answers to my Ten Questions by calling many of my claims "incorrect or misleading," and by maintaining that they are "intended only to create unwarranted doubts in students' minds about the validity of evolution as good science." The evasions and falsehoods listed above, however, make it clear that it is the NCSE's answers that are incorrect or misleading. If students have doubts about the scientific validity of evolution, their doubts are amply warranted not only by the systematic pattern of misrepresentations in biology textbooks, but also by the false and evasive statements the NCSE makes in defense of those misrepresentations.
Good science is the search for truth, and it searches for truth by comparing theories with the evidence. A good science education should present the evidence truthfully--especially the evidence for and against a theory as influential as Darwin's. Yet biology textbooks invariably present this evidence with a pro-Darwin spin, indoctrinating students rather than educating them. It seems that the National Center for Science Education, despite its title, wants students to inherit the spin". http://www.discovery.org/a/1106
