Demographic Collapse and Ramifications

The short answer to this, which is also the genetics answer, is of course "no."
I can kind of understand your argument in that certain parts of DNA are responsible for massive differences while a huge percentage of DNA is responsible for fairly modest differences. There is a power law type of distribution where certain parts of DNA are far more consequential than other parts so that even a 0.3% difference in DNA if its from a critical part of the DNA can make massive difference to an individual human or animal. But there is no way of analyzing this impact merely from comparing with two people (or animals, etc) have 99% the same DNA or 98..5% the same DNA. So my point is that saying one race is 98.5% genetically similar to chimpanzees and the other race is only 98.1% similar in and of itself does not tell us much.
 
But when you do see massive differences at a population level, and already admit that chimps have "essentially" the same DNA, you're making conflicting statements. As you concede, it's funny that someone would say "We're essentially chimpanzees" when in reality, nothing is futher from the truth, and quite obviously 1% even DNA differences, or 2%, make the difference between flying, doing what we're doing now, making art and architecture, music, etc.
 
Slugs and humans share 70% of their DNA.

Around 85% of human DNA is shared with mice.

Humans and pigs share a substantial portion of DNA, about 98%.

It seems very small differences in DNA lead to very different outcomes.

You have to buy so much chutzpah just to reference these numbers. The disparity in the minutiae of percentages of DNA do not mean what we think they mean in this context. As others have posted, just about every other organism on the Earth has a DNA similarity to humans that is higher than 70%. Remove yourself from their classroom for a second. Much of modern "science" is a farce, the "scientists" are a priesthood for the enemies of Christ, by which they have deceived the world.

When it comes to chimps, with Africans being the closest to them statistically, there are other explanations that don't have anything to do with the educational version of evolution. It is entirely plausible that they were different from the beginning. Some of these explanations are a bit too harsh to post here, so unless someone wants to know more in a PM I will not elaborate on these.

European DNA today is the same as the DNA of the oldest samples. There has been no mutation, no adaptation mutations. Europeans look, act, think, and react to their environment in much the exact same way as any historical or archaeological proof can demonstrate. I can't speak for the other races, but in over 7000 years, the Aryan race has not "evolved" at all. Rather, it has sample populations with more robust genetic characteristics, some with less, and even the populations apparently missing some traits produce atavists of the older traits (like height) because the chromosomes are still there and apparently even when mated in recessive populations, the recessive genes sometimes still show dominant. So there is no evolution, only flux of dominant genes through periods of time. White men can breed with White women for the next 6 million years, and at that time, they'll still look, and be essentially the same biologically, as we are today. There is no evidence that suggest otherwise. There is no evidence White men evolved from primates. It's never been observed, no missing links have been found, as the fossil record should contain clear chains of mutations, which it absolutely does not. The fossil record shows Aryans were not here, and suddenly we "appeared" in the record.

The Word of God tells us how the Creation came about, and that things are kind after kind. Kinds do not change in midstream without unnatural intervention. I believe the Word of God because I know the prophecies of the Book to be inspired by God, being able to have witnessed their fulfillment in history.

The 'Word of Evolution,' on the other hand, is written by clowns, most of whom deny God. They also, to a great extent, imagine themselves to be Gods.

There is a persistent battle over the precise definition of terms, which is what jews do, they never address the crux of an issue, the nuts and bolts, because they get people arguing about definitions. If you state, "DNA is....", they will even argue with you about what you mean by "is".

These theories fail to explain the irrefutable concept of Irreducible Complexity. Even if you posit the idea that individual organisms could evolve and come from a root creature, be it a "chimp" or something else, this cannot account for the fact that each organism relies on others for survival. Flowers cannot exist without bees, and vice versa. Which came first? The probability that they magically evolved at the same time is astronomical. Evolutionists claim plants came first, then insects. That's impossible, they are inter-dependent. There are millions of examples of this in nature.

The same is true on a cellular level, a cell cannot reproduce without DNA. DNA cannot exist without a cell wall to protect it from environmental oxidation. Cell walls cannot be manufactured without DNA. It's a domino effect. It all must exist at the same time from the beginning. That's a scientific reality that is completely consistent with the wisdom in the Scriptures.

Also evolution represents a complete violation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, that any system naturally proceeds from order to disorder, entropy increases. Evolution is the exact opposite, claiming that somehow the Earth went from disorder to order and did so randomly. The Second Law as it applied to the "primordial soup" would suggest that the chaos in the soup would tend toward even more chaos, not less. That's truly magical thinking, cleverly worded superstition.

All of this shared DNA nonsense is a racial disarming tactic anyhow, that was the point of its dissemination in the indoctrination centers we know as "universities." It is tower of Babel agitprop because it causes minds to adopt thoughts that lead to inactions and less resistance to Babel's rebuilding.

To be fair, we as individuals violate the second law of thermodynamics all the time, but that's the paradox, we are already ordered and we basically defecate the disorder to maintain our order until we die. Still, your point is that you don't really ever see positive mutations over time in nature, natural history, or even in experiments right now. At best you'll see adaptations, but they don't change an organism fundamentally; they'll usually just give bacteria or some such entity resistance to drug or chemical X for a while.

It's funny that I saw a reel recently of that pretty strange guy Graham Hancock talking about how Francis Crick thought the world was seeded with DNA by some interplanetary or extra terrestrial civilization, since no one can actually explain the origin of DNA, and it's quite clear that it's a code that is intelligent. Even saying that, though, still begs the question, where did that civilization's DNA come from?

It turns out that John Romanides is right in his 1965 article about outer world ideas and science fiction, again showing the Triump of Orthodoxy:

I can foresee no way in which the teachings of the Orthodox Christian tradition could be affected by the discovery of intelligent beings on another planet. Some of my colleagues feel that even a discussion of the consequences of such a possibility is in itself a waste of time for serious theology and borders on the fringes of foolishness.

I am tempted to agree with them for several reasons.

As I understand the problem, the discovery of intelligent life on another planet would raise questions concerning traditional Roman Catholic and Protestant teachings regarding creation, the fall, man as the image of God, redemption and Biblical inerrancy.

First one should point out that in contrast to the traditions deriving from Latin Christianity, Greek Christianity never had a fundamentalist or literalist understanding of Biblical inspiration and was never committed to the inerrancy of scripture in matters concerning the structure of the universe and life in it. In this regard some modern attempts at de-mything the Bible are interesting and at times amusing.

Since the very first centuries of Christianity, theologians of the Greek tradition did not believe, as did the Latins, that humanity was created in a state of perfection from which it fell. Rather the Orthodox always believed that man [was] created imperfect, or at a low level of perfection, with the destiny of evolving to higher levels of perfection.

The fall of each man, therefore, entails a failure to reach perfection, rather than any collective fall from perfection.

Also spiritual evolution does not end in a static beatific vision. It is a never ending process which will go on even into eternity.

Also Orthodox Christianity, like Judaism, never knew the Latin and Protestant doctrine of original sin as an inherited Adamic guilt putting all humanity under a divine wrath which was supposedly satisfied by the death of Christ.

Thus the solidarity of the human race in Adamic guilt and the need for satisfaction of divine justice in order to avoid hell are unknown in the Greek Fathers.

This means that the interdependence and solidarity of creation and its need for redemption and perfection are seen in a different light.

The Orthodox believe that all creation is destined to share in the glory of God. Both damned and glorified will be saved. In other words both will have vision of God in his uncreated glory, with the difference that for the unjust this same uncreated glory of God will be the eternal fires of hell.

God is light for those who learn to love Him and a consuming fire for those who will not. God has no positive intent to punish.

For those not properly prepared, to see God is a cleansing experience, but one which does not move eternally toward higher reaches of perfection.

In contrast, hell is a static state of perfection somewhat similar to Platonic bliss.

In view of this the Orthodox never saw in the Bible any three story universe with a hell of created fire underneath the earth and a heaven beyond the stars.

https://preachersinstitute.com/2010/12/04/the-twelve-days-of-christmas/
For the Orthodox discovery of intelligent life on another planet would raise the question of how far advanced these beings are in their love and preparation for divine glory.

As on this planet, so on any other, the fact that one may have not as yet learned about the Lord of Glory of the Old and New Testament, does not mean that he is automatically condemned to hell, just as one who believes in Christ is not automatically destined to be involved in the eternal movement toward perfection.

It is also important to bear in mind that the Greek Fathers of the Church maintain that the soul of man is part of material creation, although a high form of it, and by nature mortal.

Only God is purely immaterial.

Life beyond death is not due to the nature of man but to the will of God. Thus man is not strictly speaking the image of God. Only the Lord of Glory, or the Angel of the Lord of Old and New Testament revelation is the image of God.

Man was created according to the image of God, which means that his destiny is to become like Christ who is the Incarnate Image of God.

Thus the possibility of intelligent beings on another planet being images of God as men on earth are supposed to be is not even a valid question from an Orthodox point of view.

Finally one could point out that the Orthodox Fathers rejected the Platonic belief in immutable archetypes of which this world of change is a poor copy.

https://preachersinstitute.com/2012/11/09/to-those-who-conceal-their-sins-at-confession/
This universe and the forms in it are unique and change is of the very essence of creation and not a product of the fall.

Furthermore the categories of change, motion and history belong to the eternal dimensions of salvation-history and are not to be discarded in some kind of eternal bliss

Thus the existence of intelligent life on another planet behind or way ahead of us in intellectual and spiritual attainment will change little in the traditional beliefs of Orthodox Christianity.
 
On average human DNA (across humans as a whole) is 98.8 percent the same as chimp DNA so its unclear to me the exact point he is trying to make. If for example one race shares 98.4% the same DNA with chimps and another race shares 99.1% the same DNA what is the difference really? Aren't we just splitting hairs at that point?

The answer is that a minority of our DNA is responsible for most of our differences. That last 2% is more important than the other 98%, if it was the case.

But it turns out "our DNA is 98% similar to chimps" is yet another Talmudic lie, the new "science" says ours DNA is around 90% similar to chimps. I'm sure (((they))) will discover that our DNA is even less similar in the future, but the major point stands.

DNA tells us nothing, and what we see has priority over whatever we think "science" tells us. If "science" says 98% of our DNA is the same (a lie), then that would logically mean the last 2% is most important part of our DNA.
