Anis: May Allah grant you well-being, Doctor. Doctor: Anis, hello. Anis: You called me to the office, Doctor? Doctor: Anis, you are accused of cheating in writing the lab reports! From your colleague Samson the cheater. Anis: Me?! Doctor: Yes, do not deny it; all the evidence incriminates you! Cheating by 98.8%! Anis: How, Doctor?! Doctor: I got your reports and his, and compared them. Same numbers with negligible changes, you cheater! Why... why, my son?! All you had to do was take the number from the device and multiply it by its inverse, and get the result. Why cheat! Anis: Patience, Doctor! Before you accuse me of cheating, and ask me how I cheated. No, and by 98.8% as well! Doctor: Come... come... calm down, leave this example of the reports. Anis: Where is the cheating in these numbers, Doctor? Doctor: All this matching, and you don't see where the cheating is?! Anis: Okay, let's look at them line by line, and see where the cheating is. Doctor: These numbers are complex, and it's not easy to know the cheating that happened in them. Anis: Doctor... Doctor: Be quiet! Leave us from these numbers, I want to erase them. Come here, this number here is 58 because you cheated; so this number 5858 can be considered the same, but repeated. Anis: Doctor, how did I cheat! I multiply my number by its inverse and the result is correct, completely different from Samson's result! If I cheated from him and was wrong in cheating, this multiplication would not be different from him... and correct as well! Do you see, Doctor? Doctor: Coincidence, coincidence... Anis: How by coincidence?! Doctor: Yes, by coincidence, you cheater! I will not wrong you, as a precaution... let's remove it from the calculation as well. Look here again, 992... look. Anis: Okay, what is its relation to 2262?! Doctor: Because you cheated, it can be considered the same as the 92 here, but you transferred it wrongly, and the 9 fell from you. Anis: Doctor, how by mistake?! Its place is different from the place of Samson's number! The result of multiplying by the inverse is correct! If you cheated from Samson, it would not be different and correct. Doctor: Coincidence, coincidence... Anis: Doctor, how by coincidence?! Doctor: By coincidence, you cheater! But still, I will not wrong you, I want to consider it neither for you nor against you, remove it from the calculation. Look here, come... 222 because you cheated, it can be considered the same as 2262, but you added 6 by mistake. Anis: Doctor... Doctor: Be quiet, be quiet, be quiet! Without you speaking, I understood you, coincidence... and we will remove it! Neither for you nor against you. Come look here: the same numbers exactly, 25, 25, 75, 75, and 125, 125; perfect match! Cheating beyond cheating! Anis: Doctor, these are numbers that must be, shared between me and all my colleagues; we use them with the devices for us. Doctor: No, no, you are a cheater. Come, these two numbers are going to be considered different. 105, 101, 225, 255, although they resemble each other a lot, a difference in one number only, but never mind, I do not like to wrong; I want to give you your right. In the same way, I went back to all your previous reports, Anis, I found the percentage of matching between them and Samson's reports 98.8%, meaning a percentage that incriminates you 100% is not forbidden for you, my son! Why don't you learn?! Why cheat?! Why betray?! I want your best interest, Anis...
Anis: Doctor, you are killing me! Before you play the tape: I want your best interest... and what... and why... How many times have you told me: (because you cheated)?! Meaning you erased many numbers assuming that I cheated, and when the percentage of 98.8% came out with you, you concluded that I cheated. Isn't this called: circular reasoning? Doctor: Reasoning what, my love?!
Anis: Since I cheated - according to you - the match rate between my report and Samson's report is 98.8%. And since the match rate is this high, I cheated in the same way. And the followers of superstition reached the point where the match rate between human genetic material and chimpanzees is 98.8%. In one of their most comedic and widespread jokes: an intriguing story from the tales of fake science; so follow with us.
How did they reach this percentage: 98.8%? Since humans and chimpanzees evolved from a common ancestor, we can compare their genetic material using methods that assume they are from a common origin. And by adding some fabrications as well, we reach that the similarity rate between them is 98.8%. And since the percentage is this high, they must have evolved from a common origin. Meaning: the evidence is based on the claim; this is circular reasoning.
Let's see how this was done through five steps that can be summarized as: First - trimming a large part of the genetic material where there is no similarity between humans and chimpanzees, then using software that assumes - in the first place - the validity of evolution, then interpreting the results by assuming the validity of evolution, then choosing one type of difference in the genetic material and ignoring the other differences, then ignoring studies that come out with different results from the pre-desired percentage. The first three steps are done in the laboratories and the last two steps are done in media propaganda.
We will start by explaining something related to the second step, then we will proceed with the steps in order, with the reminder that the word (genome) "Genome" means the genetic material of a living organism. In the book "Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics" third edition 2015, -which is an internationally recognized book in the field of genetics and is taught in universities- you will find in the introduction of its third chapter the following summary sentence with complete clarity: the genes or proteins are similar if they are considered to have evolved from a common origin.
Meaning: in their comparisons of genetic material, they use computer programs. Those who designed these programs assumed in their design the validity of evolution and that humans and chimpanzees evolved from a common origin. Without this assumption, the similarity rates they talk about would not have come out. And the book clarifies that most of the software for comparing genetic material - such as BLAST and HMMER - is the same way; designed based on the validity of evolution.
So what the researches say: the human and chimpanzee genomes are similar if they are considered to have evolved from a common origin. While the propaganda of superstition altered the result of the researches to become: the human and chimpanzee genomes are similar and therefore they evolved from a common origin. A magical touch from the usual touches of the followers of superstition; changed "if" to "therefore".
Now let's enter the kitchen of superstition manufacturing to see its steps in order. We will start with one of their most famous studies, which was published in 2002 in the American Journal of Human Genetics. What happened in this study? A partial sample of the chimpanzee genome was taken: 3 million pairs of nitrogenous bases and for simplification, we will refer to each pair as a letter. So they took 3 million letters, out of about 3 billion letters "3 Giga Base Pairs" - which is the number of letters in the complete chimpanzee genome - and therefore the sample they took is about 0.001 of the chimpanzee genome. They compared this sample with the human genome.
The first step: trimming part of this sample due to the lack of similarity in the first place. The researchers noted that two-thirds of this sample had similarity from the human genome, while 28% of the sample was excluded; (in English) excluded from the study, they did not compare it with humans for reasons that make it difficult to compare, and they also excluded 7%, why? No region with similarity could be detected. Meaning: they erased a total of 35% of the 0.001 chimpanzee sample they chose imagine, my brothers! 35% different, and pre-erased, then the followers of superstition talk to you about 99% similarity. And remember how the doctor erased large parts of the reports from the beginning: the same method.
The second step: comparing the remaining part of the chimpanzee sample with humans. How did they compare them? Using software that assumes in the first place the validity of evolution and that humans and chimpanzees are from a common origin. Some people think - my brothers - that when it is said: that there is a certain percentage of similarity between the human and chimpanzee genomes, this means that they took the chimpanzee genes and compared them directly with the human genes one by one. The gene responsible for producing blood pigment with its counterpart in the chimpanzee, the gene responsible for producing a digestive enzyme with its counterpart in the chimpanzee, and so on... and this is not correct.
But they divide the genetic material of humans and chimpanzees and compare them with matrices based on mathematical equations. These matrices and equations assume the validity of evolution as we explained from the book (Bioinformatics). For example: this research we are discussing, compared the genetic material based on the software (Blat) "Blat" similar to (BLAST), which the book (Bioinformatics) mentioned that it is based on the validity of evolution. So the comparison is not direct; but it contains complex details explained in the book (Bioinformatics), and in the original studies that these software relied on. And in these details, they assume the validity of evolution.
Now that the results have come out of these software programs, we move on to the third step, which is: interpreting the results based on the assumption of the validity of evolution. This means: parts of the chimpanzee genome appear different from humans, yet they interpret the difference based on evolution. For example: these two sequences of letters are different from each other, with no relation between them. Evolutionists tell you: no, but what happened is that they came from a common ancestor, who inherited the sequence as it is for the chimpanzee. While in the case of humans, two letters were inserted by mistake due to a random mutation at the position indicated by the red arrow. We will call this insertion that occurred "Insertion."
This means: just as Dr. Anis was accused of cheating by his colleague number 222, and added 6 by mistake, making the number 2262. But wait... even if you assume that, there are still differences between the two sequences in some letters; the "T" is not like "C," and "G" is not like "A." They say: since they evolved from a common origin, what happened is that these two letters changed—in the case of humans—through a process we will call "Substitution" (replacement), which turned the "T" into "C," and another substitution turned "G" into "A."
This means: just as Dr. compared the numbers 105 with 101, and 225 with 255 between Anis's and Shimon's reports; differences in one number each. On what basis did you consider this to have happened? How did you give yourselves the right to build this scenario? They tell you: because they evolved from a common origin. But wait, if this is what actually happened, then these random processes would have disrupted the function of this part of the human genome. It has now been agreed that long sequences of DNA are not junk, as the myth followers used to promote before the results of the Encode project in 2012. Disruption of genetic material in general will disrupt its function. For example: if these two sequences we compared are two different genes in the chimpanzee and human, then each gene produces a different and correct protein with a different function from the other, just as the multiplication of numbers in the case of our friend Anis was different from Shimon's and correct at the same time. (Anis's voice) Doctor, how did he cheat? (Anis's voice) I multiplied my numbers by their reverse, and the result is correct and completely different from Shimon's result. (Anis's voice) If I cheated from him and was wrong in cheating, (Anis's voice) the product I get will not be different from his... and it's correct too! They tell you: by chance... by chance!
In the same way, researchers compared other parts of the human and chimpanzee genomes and interpreted the differences with various interpretations, all assuming a common ancestor, just as the doctor built his interpretations on the assumption that Anis cheated from Shimon. Sometimes they say: one or more letters were dropped during descent from the common ancestor, and they named this process "Deletion" (deletion), meaning the opposite of insertion. This is like the doctor considering 92 to be a cheated version of 992 with the loss of 9 by mistake, even if the positions of these letters are different on the chromosomes, just as the positions of the numbers are different in the two reports. At other times, they explain the difference by the repetition of some letters, and they named this process "Duplication" (duplication), just as the doctor considered 5858 to be a cheated version of 58 repeated.
In this way, the study concluded that there are thousands of random substitution mutations, thousands of random insertion and deletion mutations. These alleged insertion and deletion mutations each range in length from one letter to 65 letters. You can imagine, brother, how they consider that 65 letters were inserted into a sequence by mistake, and yet this disrupted sequence has its appropriate function!
Here, and at the third step in the kitchen of myth, the role of laboratory research ends, and the role of propaganda begins. Notice, brothers... scientific research—such as this research we talked about—was not about proving evolution through the percentage of similarity. Rather, they start from the assumption of the validity of evolution, and they acknowledge that, and they acknowledge that they use software that assumes that. Their research was about the types of mutations they claim occurred, which, according to them, separated humans from chimpanzees. Their research question was not whether evolution occurred or not, but rather: how did evolution occur? That is, how did humans and chimpanzees evolve from a common ancestor? Our problem with these studies is with this false assumption they started from: the assumption of the validity of evolution, which we have and will continue to prove its scientific invalidity. As for the propaganda of the myth, their problem is that they distorted the studies, turned assumptions into results, and conveyed the false message that, without any assumptions, the difference between humans and chimpanzees is 1.2%; therefore, evolution is a fact.
Let's see how propaganda did that and move together to the fourth step in the kitchen of myth. Propaganda came to the results of the mentioned research and said: what is the percentage of differences resulting from the alleged substitution mutations that, according to them, separated humans from chimpanzees, relative to the genome sample taken from the chimpanzee after a large part of it was edited? The percentage is 1.24%, meaning (in English) 1.24%. Fine, what about the alleged insertion and deletion differences? Propaganda—quite simply—ignored these differences. If they included them, the percentage would not be 98.8% with the ringing and resonance. Therefore, quite simply, they excluded them and highlighted the percentage that represents only the alleged substitution differences, just as the doctor excluded all types of differences between Anis's and Shimon's reports and only counted what resembles substitution. What is the percentage of substitution differences in the study? We said it is 1.2%... Ah... 1.2% difference. 100% minus 1.2% equals 98.8% similarity! Therefore, the human and chimpanzee genomes are 98.8% similar. Thus, the myth became ready to be presented on the tables of false science, and good health and well-being to the rented minds.
35% of the sample is edited from the beginning, then the large differences that they claimed occurred due to insertion and deletion are ignored, then a minor number that appeared in the study is selected to deceive the superficial people: the number 1.2%... and thus the myth of 98.8% was created. Notice how they present it in decimals: 98.8, and they do not round it to the nearest whole number, fearing the halal and haram—as they say—to give you the impression of scientific accuracy in this sacred, respectable number according to them, even though the real number is not 99, nor 98, nor 90, nor 80%. Memorize this five-step recipe, brothers, because it is used to prepare many genome dishes in the kitchen of myth.
For example, after years of study that we have completed and in the year 2005, the journal "Nature" published a study that is the most famous in comparing the chimpanzee and human genomes. Let's apply our mentioned quintet step by step.
The first step is to eliminate a large part of the genetic material that has no similarity between humans and chimpanzees. Estimates of the human genome ranged from about 3 billion to about 3.6 billion. The researchers in this study simply crossed out hundreds of millions of letters in the human genome and compared only 2.4 billion letters with the chimpanzee. What does this quantity mean? It gives the "best alignment" with more similarity. Therefore, there is between one-fifth to one-third of the genomes of both humans and chimpanzees that are crossed out from the beginning because they do not show similarity. Therefore, the calculated similarity percentage cannot reach... not even 90% in reality.
The second step is to use software that assumes the validity of evolution. Indeed, they used "BLASTZ" and "BLAT," which are software that assumes the validity of evolution.
The third step is to interpret the results based on evolution. The researchers explained the differences between the chimpanzee and human genomes in the same way as Dr. Anis and Shamsoun's report: substitution, insertion, deletion, duplication, and others. What is the percentage of the letters they claim were substituted? 1.23%. What is the percentage of the letters that they claim were inserted or deleted? 3%. Before we continue, these 3% of a huge genetic material mean 5 million insertion or deletion operations, each reaching 65 letters. As we saw in the previous study, you claim that millions of random operations occur in this way, and yet, they result in a human and a chimpanzee, each integrated and coordinated. They say to you: Yes... by chance... but what are these chances that carry out millions of changes in specific places in the genetic material without changing sensitive regions in the rest of the genetic material? Knowing that a single change can sometimes be fatal, so neither a human nor a chimpanzee is formed. They also say to you: by chance... don't you know the proverb, "O beauties of chance!" Anyway, let's return to their percentages: 1.23% substitution differences and 3% insertion and deletion differences. As the researchers expressed: this 3% "dwarfs the 1.23% difference," meaning: it diminishes the resulting percentage from substitution. The 1.23% is less by a margin and appears dwarfed in front of 3%. Here comes the role of propaganda on the production line in the kitchen of mythology. Let's move together to the fourth step... which is: choosing one type of difference and ignoring the other differences; ignoring the large numbers and only mentioning the dwarf numbers. Propaganda simply -and I do not say innocently- ignored the 3% resulting from insertion and deletion, ignored others, and only mentioned substitution. They also ignored what is more important than all of this: that five to one-third of the genetic material is deleted in advance from the first step and that the software assumes the validity of evolution as in the second step. Again, 100% minus 1.2% equals 98.8%. Therefore, the action number has been proven without leaving room for doubt. Another dazzling meal for the hired minds on the channel "Minute Earth," which supports mythology. There is a very simplified film titled: "Are we really 99% chimpanzee?" which explained part of what happened, which is the trimming of the large differences in the genomes of both the chimpanzee and the human. That is, step 1 in our quintet that we explained. Let's follow part of this video. The researchers simply excluded all the large different parts, thus removing a total of 1.3 billion letters, then compared the remaining 2.4 billion letters one by one, and it turned out that they matched by 98.77%. Therefore, yes, we share 99% of the genetic material with chimpanzee monkeys if we ignore 18% of their genetic material and 25% of ours. Therefore, the researchers simply excluded large differences, removed large parts of the chimpanzee's genetic material and others from the human, and compared what remained.
There are studies, and from researchers who follow mythology, that noticed that there is never any justification for ignoring one type of difference and considering another. Therefore, they concluded that the difference percentage should be 4% and not 1%. Here comes the fifth step in the manufacture of mythology, which is the art of ignoring, which the mythology propaganda masters to maintain the action number 99%; ignoring such studies. Another study reached a similarity percentage of 95%. Mythology propaganda ignores it in order to maintain the action number 99%. Another study more recent than the previous ones had a difference percentage of 23%, meaning similarity is 77% and not 98 or 99%. Mythology propaganda ignores it for the sake of the action number 99%. In a more recent study in 2013, the researchers did not perform trimming and editing operations, so the resulting similarity percentage was 70% with some leniency -as the researchers mentioned- which, without it, the percentage could have been lower. Of course, mythology propaganda ignores it for the sake of the action number 99%. This percentage -99%- is precious to the hearts of the followers of mythology, so they say to you: the percentage of scientists supporting evolution is around 99%. We have, with God's permission, a stance with this joke as well, which is also -by the way- the same percentage of Arab presidents winning elections for themselves with the same percentage... and the same credibility. Do not be surprised -brothers- by this great difference in the percentage due to the difference in methodology: the difference in sample selection, trimming, editing, and how to design the software that will perform the comparison between the genetic material of the chimpanzee and the human. The comparison is not simple, direct, and free from manipulation and assumptions as mythology propaganda makes you imagine.
Of course, if you confront the followers of superstition with something like this and say to them: How did you give yourselves the right to assume the truth of the superstition, then come up with percentages, and then base the truth of the superstition on them? The usual answer comes: Because the similarity in genetic material is not the only evidence; we have many pieces of evidence... in many ways... such as fossils... and others... and others... come with them on the fossils... Why did you interpret this fossil based on the truth of evolution? Isn't this a form of circular reasoning? And they say to you: No, we have evidence from the similarity of the genetic material of humans and chimpanzees at a rate of 98.8% A superstition with no head or tail!
Anis: Isn't this called circular reasoning? The Doctor: What kind of reasoning, my love?! Anis: Circular reasoning. The Doctor: Neither circular nor square! I'm not just talking about the 98.8% that proved to me that you cheated, I have other evidence. Anis: What are the evidence, Doctor? The Doctor: A lot of evidence; the vitamin of success found in Dutch tomatoes, which is the reason for their superiority, the stew in the car that has no function, how the lizard turned into a bird, Riyadh who stole the million, and the shape of your external report resembles the shape of Samson's report. I actually gave a name to the fact that you cheated, the Shamshonese Theory "Shamshonese Theory" and that's it... and now I am in the process of collecting more evidence on this fact.
Okay, another question; since the topic is with you in the action percentages without looking at the details, is the chimpanzee the only one who can have a similarity rate of -99%- with humans according to your way, followers of superstition? No, according to a search in the known evolutionary magazine (Nature), 99% of the genes of one type of mice have counterparts in humans, a number different in meaning from the previous numbers, but it also suits to dazzle the superficial. Why don't you promote this number as well as evidence of evolution? Is it because convincing people of common origins that are temporally close to mice is harder than convincing them of common origins with chimpanzees? Is it because this reveals the absurdity of the comparison in this way? Is it because it shows that your evolutionary trees are valueless? Your trees built on the formal and structural similarity that we showed its comedy in the previous episode, and the genetic similarity that we show its comedy in this episode. Is it because it represents another sad story from the stories of numbers that differ in a funny way? With the difference in the way of comparison, the finishes, and the trims, you see a percentage in a paper (Nature): 99%, while in the website of the American National Institutes of Health "NIH", you find the percentage of similarity in the regions that are translated into proteins is 85%, while in the vast majority of the genetic material, the percentage of similarity is less than 50%. And with all this, the evolutionists present such a picture of similarity at a rate of 92% between humans and mice... to convince you of gradualism; that randomness and blind selection have played through millions of years so that the more the genetic similarity increases, the more it resembles humans. And the Natural History Museum in London in cooperation with the University of Chicago Press in America comes out with this book: "99% Ape; How Evolution Adds Up" Ape at a rate of 99%; thus, evolution progresses: another chapter from the chapters of science tailored to order; there is a percentage of similarity with mice 99%, and there is 92%, and there is 85% in parts, and less than 50% in parts, and there is a percentage of similarity with the chimpanzee 99%, and there is 96%, and there is 95%, and there is 77%, and there is 70%. Take, O propagandists of superstition, what pleases you, and discard what does not please you, then present to the people the conclusion of the truth of evolution and the drawings of the trees of evolution. Thus, let the manipulation of science to serve the Darwinian creed be this is the story of the 99% after you have understood it, brother, smile as you read in scientific news magazines such as (Scientific American) - which educates the general public - that we share 99% of our genetic material with the chimpanzee and smile when you see Dr. Richard Dawkins say: smile as you see him addressing his followers like children, deluding them that the matter is simply a random mutation that happened by mistake - one day here and a mutation there - produced for us humans and separated him from the chimpanzee. Then laugh to your heart's content as you hear the charlatans of superstition say: molecular inheritance and the science of genes have settled the file and confirmed evolution, and the case is closed.
Anis: Your Excellency the Dean, you do not accept injustice. The Doctor: Your Excellency the Dean, I have proven that Anis is a cheater at a rate of 99%. The Dean: 99%?! How do you mean? May God be pleased with you, brother. The Doctor: His reports and Samson's reports are the same thing; 99% similarities. The Dean: Anis is your name? Anis: Anis. The Dean: Out... quickly! Quickly! Out out! Come, Doctor, let's talk a bit. The Doctor: Ready. (Sound with Anis's head) Anis, I heard that you cheated, from Samson at a rate of 99%! Ikhss! Heh heh heh 99%! 99%! Ikhss ikhss! 99%!
Adnan Ibrahim: 99% of the chimpanzee genome matches the human genome! About 99%! It is the closest thing to us at all! This - without a doubt - has caused the human great pain.
Nidal Qasoum: We found that it is indeed identical at a rate that reaches... that is, exceeds - at least for the primates "Primates" - exceeds 94-95%, some reach 99% identity.
Therefore, dear ones, in this episode, we discussed the fallacy of circular reasoning that evolutionists often use at the level of genetic material and others, and we saw together what happens in the kitchen of superstition, a large part of the genetic material is erased, then software that assumes the truth of evolution is used, then the results are interpreted on the basis of evolution, then a number representing one of the types of differences is chosen to manufacture the action number, with the discarding of larger numbers representing other differences, then other studies are discarded that come out with completely different numbers from the desired numbers, then the same operations are performed with other creatures such as the mouse, then numbers that suit the alleged gradualism are chosen, then it is claimed that these numbers indicate the common origin eight steps; {darknesses, some of them above others} [An-Nur:40]! But the ninth and most important step may think, brother, that I - in this episode - am keen that the similarity between the human genome and the chimpanzee is as little as possible, and this is not true; all I wanted to clarify is that we are dealing with liars, and this number -99%- is media propaganda that some repeat out of ignorance or lying. After that, there is no difference for us at all whether the percentage of similarity in the genetic material is 70%, or 99%, or 99.9%, or 100%. The similarity is an expected interpretation, and no matter how large its percentage is, it does not affect the observation of the greatness of Allah in His creation at all. Rather, the more we see the similarity to a certain extent and the difference to a certain extent, the more we glorify, praise, and submit to Him who said: "Indeed, We have created everything according to a measure." How? We will see that in the next episode to see a chapter from the greatness of creation, and with it a chapter from the comedy of the evolutionists not only in the fabrication of numbers, but also in the interpretation of numbers, which is their ninth step in the manufacture of superstition. Follow us, and peace be upon you.
