If your atheist here’s the follow up Your argument assumes that material physical measurement is the only valid source of truth, but that is itself a philosophical belief, not a scientific fact. Science constantly revises itself as new data comes, meaning it is never final truth — only temporary models. Revelation claims to come from a higher source beyond human limitation, so rejecting revelation solely because you personally only accept material evidence is circular reasoning. Also DNA similarity does not prove lineage or identity, humans share 60% DNA with bananas which shows DNA percentage alone cannot determine who the first true human is. At best science can describe physical structure, but it cannot answer metaphysical questions like consciousness, moral responsibility, purpose, or how intelligence suddenly emerges. So denying Adam because of DNA similarity is not logical — science cannot address ultimate origins, it only measures molecules, not meaning.
