Smithsonian Says: Genetics Proves Evolution Is True

We go to the Smithsonian's Human Origins web site to examine their evidence that "proves" evolution is true. What did we find?
The Smithsonian claims genetics proves evolution actually happened. Chimpanzee and human DNA was compared and found to be about 1.2% different. See! Evolution is true. We are genetically nearly the same as chimpanzees!
First: It seems they left out some important information. Humans and chimpnazees supposedly came from a common ancestor no more than 3 million years ago (max). Given that we know the mutation rate, and based on the evolutionary assumption of a common ancestor, the present difference in DNA from random mutations has to be in the range of 1%. Factoring in the fact that individuals, humans for example, have an average of 0.1% differences among ourselves, that gives a total possible difference of 1.1%. That is essentially the same as the 1.2% difference claimed in the Smithsonian article. Others claim that measured difference between humans and chimps was 1.5%. But, that's Still close enough.
BUT... and this is major... as further testing was done it was found that the actual difference is in the range of 15%. Humans and chimps are only 85% similar! That means that it is impossible for humans and chimpanzees to have evolved from a common ancestor in the past three million years. Our DNA is too dissimilar. The claim that human/chipmanzee DNA has been proven to be a false claim... AND THAT MEANS there is no proof... zero proof from human/chimp DNA supporting evolution. And that means the Smithsonian's claim is false.
What is truly sad is that the Smithsonian, the premier American Museum, is using a claim that has been accepted as a myth by secular science since 2007.
We have a Science Pastor 30 SECOND video that addresses human/chimpanzee DNA similarity.
Human and Chimp DNA: Is It Really 98% Similar? (GA Article)
The following link is given to provide some historical perspective. This technical paper is from 2003. At that point it had been determined that the difference between human and chipmanzee DNA was in the range of 5%. As further research was done, that number continued to grow. -- Greater than 98% Chimp/human DNA similarity? Not any more.

Many people, when they die, will stand before Jesus and say:
Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles? - Matthew 7:22
And Jesus will say to them:
I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness. - Matthew 7:23
Get your Bible out and read Matthew 7:21-23. These are some of the most frightening verses in the Bible.
They describe people who believe with all their heart that they are saved. They have no doubt that they know Jesus and they've done many great things that prove this is true. Put Jesus says, 'Depart from me...' He doesn't know them.
Are you truly trusting Jesus? Scripture says to examine yourself to see if you are in the faith (2 Corinthians 13:5). Have you done that?
Do you read your Bible regularly? Do you fear false teaching? Are you growing in your obedience to God? Are you growing in your understanding of what God wants? Do you regularly share the good news about Jesus with others?
