Since my evolutionist friends believe the shared percentage of DNA is a
reliable benchmark for ape to human evolution, let's look at something else
that can be stretched to the same degree.

Human DNA is about 75% similar to that of a nematode, which is basically a
small soil-dwelling worm. Will my evolutionist friends also suggest that a
nematode is 75% human?

Perhaps you can offer your source for this comparison?

And perhaps you can clarify your statement.

Does it mean 75% of the entire human genome matches the nematode
genome?

Or vice versa?

Does it mean 75% of the genes with known function in the human genome
match those in the nematode genome?

Or vice versa?

Does it mean that 75% of the proteins encoded by the human genome
match those encoded by the nematode genome?

Or vice versa?

I wonder if you are going to address my questions?



If not, then the percent of DNA has no connection from one species to
another

If so, then it looks like the creator used common design patterns within DNA
structure
