This number has been revised with newer information down to 93% and may go even lower. Don't forget, all animals and plants share the same "letters" in thier DNA. It's like all the messages on this site share the same letters. But you will be hard pressed to find two evolving into a different post.

But let's go with your 98% theory. That 2% difference is equivelant to over 500 books of 1000 pages each. If the increased information did not come from benificaial mutations, then from where?

Let's say it took 100,000,000 years to evolve from [bleep] to man. Do a little math. How many benificial mutations would have to occur each generation? And don't forget most mutations are harmful or leathal.

Can you say, "Ain't happenin'" or "No way Jose"?
First, let's see your source for that change to 93%. Seems that the experts in the field have yet to be informed of this change.

Secondly, humans did not evolve from [bleep]. No scientist says they did. We shared a common ancestor a few million years ago.
