How does the creationist accept that a DNA test shows they're related to their father but reject that a DNA test shows they're related to a chimp? [Spirituality & Religion]

DNA lets you see that you're related to your parents, somewhat more distantly related to your grandparents and what your racial heritage is.
DNA lets us see that a tiger is closely related to a lion or a mouse is closely related to a beaver.....so why can't it show that you're closely related to a chimpanzee?

The real question to the creationist: At what point can you claim that DNA is no longer showing relatedness but a common designer and how do you justify that claim?

Idk but I feel extremely uncomfortable when I'm at the zoo looking at gorillas in a cage when they have so many similar features to humans

Yeah if you look at the way other great apes interact with each other it's startling how much like us they are and sad how badly we treat them.

@Pikachu What do you mean how badly we treat them?

@LordShadowfire So they have a chance when their habitat disappears, yeah.
