Dr. Jeanson's book: amzn.to/490DqAu
What if the most famous statistic in evolution was designed to manipulate you?
The idea that humans share 98% of their DNA with chimpanzees is everywhere — museums, textbooks, classrooms. But Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson, a Harvard-trained biologist, breaks down exactly why that number is a deliberate psychological trick — and what the data actually shows when you dig into the raw science.
In this video we cover:
Why evolutionists say "98% similar" instead of "60 million differences" — and why that choice is intentional
What happens to the number when you include ALL types of DNA differences
The data buried in the supplemental section of their own paper in Nature
Why biological similarity is actually a prediction of intelligent design — not evolution
The one argument that exposes the fatal flaw in the materialist worldview even if the 98% number were true
This is more than just an interesting conversation — it's a training video. Share it with your kids, your grandkids, and anyone who has ever been told the chimp DNA argument as proof of evolution.
🧬 Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson is a research scientist at the Institute for Creation Research and holds a PhD in cell and developmental biology from Harvard University.
