"The differences between us and chimps are more striking than the similarities."

To whom? Not geneticists or evolutionary biologists.

I imagine most geneticists and evolutionary biologists consider humans to be more important then corn. I also think that quite a few of them think there is an important difference between even chimps and humans. But I'm not looking to them as an authority on this issue so its not that important to me.

Would you like to be eloquent and take a stab at talking the aliens out of making hamburger out of you? Tim didn't succeed. I'll go first, if you'd prefer.

I didn't succeed. What a surprise. You set up a case where you assign me the burden of proof, you insist that I deal strictly with facts when discussing a philosophical issue, and then you judge it yourself when you disagree with me. I would have had to be eloquent indeed to have any chance of success.
