1. True or False? The fact that DNA in chimps and humans are 98% similar proves they bith have a common ancester.
Answer: False. The DNA in bananas is 50% similar to human DNA, but no one would speculate that we are "half a banana." Although the field of comparative genetics has revealed some interesting facts about the similarities (and differences) of DNA among different species, it says nothing about the origin of our DNA or the historical relationship between species.

Although faced with no paleontological way to show one species changing into another, Kitts holds on to his belief in evolution.

No scientist is suggesting we're 98% chimps either, we are human, different species altogether...we just share 98% of their genetic code.
Originally posted by RBHILL 4. True or False: The Second Law of Thermodynamics says that the usable energy in the universe is becoming less and less.
Answer: True. Essentially this means that things eventially "wear out." The universe is not eternal; it had a beginning, and will eventually wear out. Two-and-a-half-tohousand years before the birth of modern science, when the brightest thinkers were confident that the universe was eternal, the Bible said that the universe would "wear out:"...the heavens are the work of Your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment" (psalm 102:25,26).
