Luskin has edited the original article to include the full figure and a defense of the original version:

Protest too much, much? Now just why is Casey so upset with the 1% number? Is it merely his goal to correct a meaningless and trivial factoid? I’m suspecting he has a bigger though unexpressed, and apparently disavowed, goal. What could it be?

Casey Luskin is a bald-faced liar. That is all.

LOL. Yeah Casey, and why would you consider it important that the human-chimp genetic similarity is higher than they used to think? (Btw I know it isn’t, Casey still lies about that too, since he’s conflating different types of measurements).

So, does Luskin believe evolutionists are also lying about how genetically similar gorillas are to, uh, gorillas? After all, their (i.e. gorillas’) gap divergence is over 13%.
But you can see what the DI’s game is here. They have a good idea how gullible their audience is, and probably realize that audience is not quite gullible enough to not find it suspicious that Luskin photo-shopped an entire chunk of the graph out of his article.
So, now he restores the omitted chunk and writes some meaningless words about how it was not relevant to his argument.
My bet is we will soon receive confirmation from our local ID acolytes that Luskin has accurately appraised their level of gullibility and that they accept his explanation.

This is beautiful.
The same numbers show up again buried deep in the Supplemental Data where they compare various ape to human genomes. They’re findable if you know where to look, but should I say “buried” — or “hidden”?
then…
I always linked to the Supplemental Data where people could see the complete dataset if they wish.
When scientists do this, it is concealment. When Luskin does this, it is transparency.

His (and the DI’s) goal is to further sew distrust among the public with scientists, with the long term goal being to institute a Christian Theocracy in the United States, of course.

The doublethink is quite amazing.
