It doesn't matter that genetic science explains the mechanisms of evolution. If one doesn't want to change the long held concept that evolution is only weakly supported by the evidence, then the evidence supporting evolution is assigned an insignificant value by that person's brain.
This filter is generally referred to as Morton's Demon.
It is evident that Doomar suffer from Morton's Demon.
An excellent article, Dr M.

Posting this image (a bonobo mother and child) here seems appropriate: http://images.dpchallenge.com/images_portfolio/2333/orig/104266.jpg

I don't know how anyone can look at an image like this and still believe that humans and apes aren't close evolutionary cousins.

You mean this devil?
