It's an obvious inference from the existence of a common genetic code,

How do you actually know this? Where can I read the journal article
that established this.

I have no doubt that our genes are 95% or something similar to apes.
But a PHD geneticist athttp://www.icr.orgsaid
that a watermelon, jellyfish and a cloud all consist of 98% water -
yet they did not derive from a common ancestor.
He said he found this 98% chimp similarity quote "amusing".

He is a moron and you are an imbecile. He isn't a PHD geneticist, he
is a fundamentalist Christian PHD geneticist. That is a little like
being an arsonist fireman. He believes dozens of things on less
evidence than we have for common descent and evolution and he believes
them because assholes like you have perpetuated them for generations.

Now go away. A REAL troll, one who is mildly entertaining, has
hijacked your thread.

By the way, humans are apes.


Nope, and for the same reason dogs are not wolves.
