Endogenous Retroviruses = Proof of Evolution?

Is it infinitely unlikely that we would share stuff like endogenous retroviruses which randomly insert into the host's genome, why we would share seven of the exact same retroviruses with chimps, bonobos etc.., inserted into the exact same location in the genome, out of 3 billion base pairs, if we didn't share a common ancestor?
There are also random mutations (redundant pseudogenes) that we share with chimps as well such as both having the GLO gene(which syntheses its own vitamin C) switched off which is why we have to ingest it.

Some would say the evidence for evolution is overwhelming for those who want to actually look for it.

Some scientists have found such endogenous retroviruses to be necessary to life.

"Many scientists believed these endogenous retroviruses were junk DNA, he said."  Strange, but of the scientists I know who believe in creation, whether botanists, chemists, physicists, none of them ever jumped to that incorrect conclusion.

By that, you mean, times like these when the theory of evolution predicts something (like junk DNA in the form of ERVs) which turns out to be false, and the facts are exactly as it would have been expected all along from a creation point of view, that these things are there because they serve a purpose, a purpose which simply had been difficult to discover because Jehovah is so much more intelligent than we are?
