So God created man in his own image,... Genesis 1:27
"Evolutionists have claimed for years that the human chromosome pair
number 2 is actually an accidental fusion of two pairs of ancestral
chromosomes inherited from ape-like creatures.
In short, they claim that the human-chimp ancestor had 48 chromosomes.
Today, humans have 46. Since chromosomes come in two copies — e.g., the
ape-like ancestor would have had 2 pairs of 24 chromosomes, and humans today have 23 pairs
of chromosomes — and since humans have fewer total chromosomes than
apes, evolutionists claim that one of the ancestral pairs of chromosomes
fused to another ancestral pair of chromosomes. This would reduce the
total chromosomes count from 48 to 46.
However, in this case
evolutionists also made their claim prematurely, before all the evidence
was acquired.
Effectively, the evolutionary claims about the structure
of human chromosome 2 represented a prediction rather than an observation.
-----In fact, the
alleged site where the fusion supposedly took place actually represents a
highly organized, functional gene (in our analogy, think of genes as words or sentences). Thus, starting from the assumption of human-ape common ancestry, evolutionists have actually made a failed prediction about the structure and function of DNA within our cells." AIG
