“…These parameters were established by stepwise testing of different settings, with visual inspection of alignment quality by spot checks before and after each step using Geneious Prime v. 2020.0.5 (https://www.geneious.com). The quality of the final trimmed alignments was visually inspected in FluentDNA v. 2.5.3 (Seaman and Buggs, 2020). No alignment errors were found, and no manual alterations were made.…”

“…Genetic evidence: Genomic comparisons between humans and chimpanzees are becoming more sophisticated, with recent proposals proposing lower estimates of humanchimp genetic similarity estimates to between 84% and 96% (Buggs 2018c;Seaman and Buggs 2020). It is also unclear how any percent similarity between human and chimp DNA yields an argument that requires common ancestry (Luskin 2022).…”

Comparing Contemporary Evangelical Models Regarding Human Origins

Multiple viewpoints exist among Protestant Evangelical Christians regarding human origins, with each offering different answers to questions regarding the existence of Adam and Eve and their relationship to humanity, common human–ape ancestry, evolution and intelligent design, humanity’s relationship to other members of the genus Homo (e.g., Neanderthals and Denisovans), and the timing of human origins. This article will review eight models for human origins which have recently received attention: (1) the Classical Theistic Evolution/Evolutionary Creationism model, (2) the Homo divinus model, (3) the Genealogical Adam and Eve model, (4) the Homo heidelbergensis model, (5) the Unique Origins Design model, (6) the Classical Old Earth Creationist model, (7) the Classical Young Earth Creationist model, and (8) an Old Earth/Recent Humans Hybrid model. Key features of each model will be described, and critical responses will be discussed in light of agreement or disagreement with traditional Judeo-Christian theological views and the scientific evidence. Most of these models maintain that science does not force one to abandon belief in core tenets of a traditional Adam and Eve, though they resolve the relevant scientific and theological questions in different ways and with varying degrees of success.

“…He reports a significant statistic: 'The percentage of nucleotides in the human genome that had one-to-one exact matches in the chimpanzee genome was 84.38%' (Buggs 2018). In a 2020 paper, Buggs used a different method to estimate human-chimp genetic similarity at 96% (Seaman & Buggs 2020). This estimate includes coding and non-coding DNA but excludes centromeric DNA.…”

Peer review declarationThe publisher (AOSIS) endorses the South African 'National Scholarly Book Publishers Forum Best Practice for Peer Review of Scholarly Books.' The manuscript underwent an evaluation to compare the level of originality with other published works and was subjected to rigorous two-step peer review before publication, with the identities of the reviewers not revealed to the editor(s) or author(s). The reviewers were independent of the publisher, editor(s), and author(s). The publisher shared feedback on the similarity report and the reviewers' inputs with the manuscript's editor(s) or author(s) to improve the manuscript. Where the reviewers recommended revision and improvements, the editor(s) or author(s) responded adequately to such recommendations. The reviewers commented positively on the scholarly merits of the manuscript and recommended that the book be published. v Research justificationScience and Faith in Dialogue presents a cogent, compelling case for concordance between science and theism. The term theism used in this book refers to the belief in God's existence. Within theology, the term theism is often used to convey a range of presuppositions about the nature and attributes of God. The topic of God's attributes does not fall within the scope of this study. Based on scientific and natural theological perspectives, two pillars of natural theology are revisited: the Cosmological Argument and the Argument from Design. The book argues that modern science provides undeniable evidence and a scientific basis for these classical arguments to infer a rationally justifiable endorsement of theism as being concordant with reason and science -nature is seen as operating orderly on comprehensible, rational, consistent laws, in line with the conviction that God is Creator. The expression 'undeniable evidence and scientific basis' is not understood as scientific proof but rather as inference, footprint, signature, deductive reasoning and rational justification for theism in world view. The premise that theism asserts a more causally adequate explanation of recent developments in modern natural science (than naturalism) is based upon: (1) Strong epistemological support: explanatory power and confirmation of hypothesis (rather than just deductive entailment); and (2) the contemporary cosmological consensus, building upon the rigour of the physical sciences and illuminating biological discoveries. The discovery that the universe had a beginning and the abundant scientific evidence for fine-tuning is best explained by theism. The phrase 'global fine-tuning' refers to fine-tuning of initial conditions, fundamental forces and other physical laws and constants for an expanding universe and the formation of galaxies, stars and planets. The phrase 'local fine-tuning' refers to the protection of the earth by the planetary giants, earth's life-sustaining capabilities, water and its miraculous properties for life, earth's rare habitability fine-tuned for life and scientific discovery. The phrase 'biological fin...
