Herepton,
"We often hear, for example, that human beings and chimpanzees are remarkably alike genetically. And, when stained and compared, some human and chimp chromosomes in fact cannot be visually distinguished from one another. A careful comparison turns up the tell-tale differences, however. Chimps have 24 pairs of chromosomes, not 23, and some of the banding patterns are subtly different.
On nine of the chromosomes, certain segments are flipped in humans
compared with chimps. On other chromosomes, extra material is tacked
onto both ends, or some is missing."
The chromosome number difference in & of itself doesn't matter, two Ape chromosomes fused, the information before & after was the same. Does the banding patterns mean more, less, or different genes? Impossible to tell. That segments are flipped is also irrelevant, the same imformation is there after the flip as was there before. Is the material tacked on & missing coding genes?
This quote doesn't really inform you of what you would like it to inform you of.
Darwinist Steve Olson admits chimp and human DNA are as far apart as we are from 5 million years ago
Er, stating the obvious, non? How much percentile genetic difference does Steve Olsen "admit" occurred between humans & chimps in 5 million years? After all, he's the one with the phD, right?

There are 10 kinds of people in this world; those that understand binary, & those that don't

Herepton,
The point is one of your own admits the similarities are at least 5 million years apart.
So?
Your error is the assumption that similarity = evidence for the resolve.
So why did you try to show that human/chimp chromosomes were more dissimilar at the genetic level than they are? What would you gain from that if it isn't evidence, anyway?
