DEBATE: Does Genetics Support Creation or Evolution? | SFT & Sam Vs Dr. Ron & 1stAmender
"When you consider overall gene content, size differences, and architecture, they're less than 30% the same. The human Y is more similar to the gorilla Y than to the chimpanzee Y."
Donnie presented 2024 research showing human and chimpanzee Y chromosomes share only 26.2% similarity, far below the commonly cited 98-99% genomic similarity figure. He argued this massive divergence cannot be explained by evolutionary models and represents a fundamental discontinuity incompatible with common ancestry.
