@Sean Pitman:
Sean is correct that no formal deductive process may be used to show that these DNA sequences prove evolution. However, consider inductive logic via the technique of beysian inference. When each individual marker we know of is summed, the probability that we do not have a common ancestor with the higher primates is so small as to be statistically insignificant.

The 14 Human endogonous retroviruses we share with the chimps is more than enough evidence to demonstrate common ancestory.

By the way, evolution does not require abiogenesis. It also says nothing about the existence of a deity.

If what you say is true then a couple of scientists need to lose their Nobel prizes for the discovery of the background radiation from the big bang

@Professor Kent:
There really is no debate in the rest of the scientific world outside of adventism. It ended in 1869 at Cambridge university when Huxley presented the theory to the scientific establishment.
Adventists are stuck between obstruction and irrelivance on this topic.
