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?

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

I don't care how many times you try it; argument from imbecility will
always be a fallacy.

Stop crying like a lil bitch

And perhaps you can clarify your original 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?
