At face value, this argument sounds quite compelling. But as with everything in evolution, they are leaving out a huge chunk of the story to make it sound more convincing than it really is. The real picture proves that we are much more different than chimps than dishonest scientist are willing to acknowledge.
Just like the 3 letters A-C-R can be arranged to spell CAR or ARC, so too can the DNA base pairs be similar numerically and yet spell out totally different creatures by simply being in different locations and order. The ORDER, LOCATION, and SEQUENCE makes all the difference in the world.

Deceptive Science of OMITTING DNA that don't match
According to Science our DNA 98.77% similar ONLY IF we completely IGNORE the following:
According to Science our DNA 98.77% similar ONLY IF we completely IGNORE the following:
- Ignore 25% of Human DNA (3.097 DNA letters) = 774.25 million DNA base pairs
- Ignore 18% of Chimp DNA (3.231 DNA letters) = 581.58 million DNA base pairs

In Scientist OWN words
"If a genetic paragraph containing thousands of letters long appears TWICE in a human scroll but only ONCE in it's chimp counterpart, should that second copy count as thousands of changes or just one? And what about identical paragraphs that appear in both genomes but in DIFFERENT PLACES or IN REVERSE ORDER or BROKEN UP INTO PIECES?
Rather than monkey around with these difficult questions, the researchers simply EXCLUDED ALL THE LARGE MISMATCHED SECTIONS, a whopping 1.3 billion letters in all and performed a letter by letter comparison on the remaining 2.4 billion, which turned out to be 98.77% identical. So yes, we share 99% of our DNA with chimps, IF WE IGNORE 18% OF THEIR GENOME AND 25% OF OUR'S."
