Evolution believers, can you help me out - Why do human beings share 50% with bananas?

For that matter, humans share 1/3 of their DNA with daffodils.... Wait, could there be some sort of common creator, possibly, oh, I don't know, maybe intelligent design behind all of this....

No, surely not, that's not possible, I refuse to believe that - All of my left wing friends and associates assure me that the theory of evolution is fact, they couldn't be wrong, they're liberals, so they're smarter than everyone else, right?

Update:

@ mommanuke - you don't read so good, do you? I went and provided the links and everything, all the same, don't believe me, do your own research and after you do, don't even think about it, apology accepted.

Update 2:

@ Juan - A poor mans attempt at Yoda; please, leave the deep philosophical thought, for those capable of independent, individual thought. The regurgitation of half-assed Richard Dawkins philosophy, doesn't qualify

    Wow, bananas have carbon, potassium and nitrogen too. What's your point?

    No. Being a cannibal best entails eating the distinct identical proteins that make up your physique, which outcome in the construction of prion proteins observed in mad cow disorder and degenerative brain diseases. When you consume 2 bananas, you devour 50% of the DNA, but most DNA in lifestyles , about 99.9%, is useless anyways, so the 50% of DNA that you simply ate is a as a substitute small quantity of cannibal matching... Not up to 1/2 a percentage. As a result, for those who consume two bananas, or even one hundred, you are not a cannibal. By the point you conclude 100 and begin with more, the primary few shall be gone, and you'll certainly not get your goal of cannibalism. Plus, most of these DNA proteins are left within the plant itself, not the fruit. Don't be a cannibal. It hurts your brain.

    If we are ever to really find God it will be the scientists that uncover him not the worshipers that think being very "good" will lead to his phone number.

    I have to go read "Contact" again now.

    Most all organic objrcts are created by a few common atoms. In fact 100% are carbon based.

    You rant means absolutely nothing.

    Hmm, well you know it's also true that humans share about 99.3% of their DNA with chimpanzees and approximately 99.1% with the great apes - as if we must have evolved from a series of ape-like creatures over the course of some 3 Million years!

    *sigh* All life on earth derives from similar complex protein strands. Look, it would take WAY too long to explain the science to you since you not only don't understand evolution (which is dirt simple) but also don't understand biology and DNA and RNA (which is more complex but should be learned by most elementary school children...but evidently not you).

    If you are curious to learn, the best resource I can point you to is the book The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins. It is an EXCELLENT book aimed at the intelligent layman. Dawkins starts small, and builds up to show what we know, why we know it, and what the implications are.

    Dawkins has become a controversial figure later in life as he has become an extremely vocal atheist who gets off on belittling religion in a way that is not helpful. But this book, written earlier in Dawkins' career, but updated to include modern developments is outstanding and if you don't read it, then you are avoiding understanding your enemy, which can only be explained by you fearing and knowing that you are wrong and not wanting to expose yourself to the good science that proves it.

    Speaking of Bananas,

    Did you know that bananas are designed to be held by the human hand and designed to be tasty? Liberals can't explain that either.

    we have so much in common because there are only 4 variables making up DNA. A T C and G.

    DNA strings are very long. With only 4 variables, there is going to be a lot of similarities.

    I think it would be hard to squeeze in all those plant genes considering 98% of our genes are from primates.

    You apparently are smarter than anyone else because you never cracked a science book.

    Natural revelation and divine revelation can not, and do not contradict.

    Science is the study of nature.

    Creationism is an opinion about how scripture should be interpreted.
