".............. scientists recently analyzed human saliva and the saliva from chimpanzees, gorillas, and macaques.
From an evolutionary perspective, humans share a common ancestor with chimps and gorillas (we’re supposedly evolutionary cousins), so our spit should have some commonalities. But—surprise! (not really)—it doesn’t!
Our human saliva is much waterier than ape saliva.
Also, the concentration of proteins and the major groups of those proteins found in saliva is much lower in human saliva than in the saliva of apes and monkeys.
They also discovered that humans have proteins unique to us.
Not only that, each primate species they looked at had its own unique collection of salivary proteins.
Their conclusion? “We discovered unique protein profiles in the saliva of humans that were distinct from those of non-human primates . . . certain properties and components of human and non-human primate saliva might have evolved in a lineage-specific manner.” In other words, there’s no obvious evolutionary relationship! Both our saliva and the saliva of these primates are unique to each kind.
That’s the opposite of what you’d expect from an evolutionary worldview. There should be an evolutionary relationship—but there isn’t.
And that’s exactly what you’d expect starting with God’s Word. God created everything according to their kind and made us unique in his image (So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27)—we’re not just animals, and we’re not related to chimps or gorillas."
