Chimps have virtually identical DNA to us. It is more than just looking a lot like us. We can see a time when neither chimps nor humans existed then a common ancestor then steps were started looking less and less like them. We would see this strong resemblance and change overtime with DNA but DNA strongly support the fossil evidence. This is no competing scientific theory or reasonable explanation just a lot of silliness that no would believe except for the fact that it was created to support the creation myth their own personal religion teaches.
