The similarities between chimpanzees and humans are amazing, AND the difference reflect differences in ancestral environment.

No abusive tagging - if abusive tags are found - they will be deleted and disabled by the Admin team 2. No calling the biblical accounts a fable - fairy tale ect.

That's not a scientific term
And you haven't demonstrated why similarities are evidence of evolution
I see you're a fan of the Just So Stories of evolution
Okay - pick one gene and clearly demonstrate how the differences between human and chimpanzee reflect "differences in ancestral environment"
They share a common ancestor. Fossils unearthed in Kenya in 2014 have even revealed what the common ancestor looked like,

Unprovable speculation
They were able to sequence the genome of the fossils unearthed in Kenya in 2014?

“Who is this that obscures my plans with words without knowledge? Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me.
“Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone - while the morning stars sang together and all the angels[a] shouted for joy?" - Job 38:2-7
Why? Explain, please.

Do you acknowledge that gene similarity between people indicate a familial connection? If Yes, then why don't you believe a 98.6% similarity between species represents an ancestral connection?That's not a scientific term
And you haven't demonstrated why similarities are evidence of evolution

We already KNOW that they are BOTH human.
Because we do NOT know if there is actually an "ancestral connection".
You jumped the gun again- this time by mere seconds. Patience is a virtue.

If DNA is examined at a crime scene we often do not know ahead of time if it is human DNA. We conclude that it is if we find it is similar enough to what we recognize as human. So, by extension we can conclude with a large degree of confidence how closely related two species are to one and other.

Quit trying to CHANGE the CONTEXT. You said "gene similarity between people".
Not true, but I know that you must cling to it.
Yes, but I had already responded to your question within a response to doser.

So what? Your reply to ME was void of any merit and I said so.
AND, the other time you called me a troll, I responded to your post quite fully within a few hours of your post. You should already know that I respond substantially by now even though, levity is mixed in, should you not? Patience is a virtue.
In contrast, your buddy doser is notorious for all snark and little substance.

Your "substance" is not so substantive.
