Not all creationists are young earth. Too many places on this site, evolution and age of the earth are assumed to be the same thing. [[User:DanH|DanH]] 14:31, 21 June 2007 (EDT)

==Common ancestor?==
The article says "Comparison of DNA sequences of humans and gorillas show them to be 99% identical, but even with these similarities there are so many gaps in the sequence that it is nigh impossible for them to have descended from a common ancestor." I don't get it. Why do you need to analyse the number of gaps in the DNA to conclude that gorillas and people have no common ancestor? Surely the number of gaps would suggest only that any common ancestor must have been ''a long time ago''. The absolute ''rejection'' of common ancestry cannot be based on this, only on a more fundamental rejection of evolutionist theory. It looks like an illogical argument.
