What is the best explanation?

[Danhalen]

Given what is known about point mutation, and the mechanics of crossover (during meiosis), what is the best explanation for the chromosome map attached?

The map shows, in the order typed, the chromosomes of humans, chimpanzees, gorillas and orang-utans.

Their similarity obviously indicates plagerism. The scientists that sequenced the monkey genes obviously copied much of their work from the scientists that sequenced humans.

Obviously the designer chose to use the same material to build humans and monkeys.

Anyone else? I would think someone would have a different answer.

God, with his omniscience and omnipotence, was becoming tired after 5 whole days of implanting age into his creation. He was amused by a monkey pealing a intelligently designed banana and decided to copy it to save time. After all, humans are FAR more complex than all of the other species so it would have taken him a lot longer than the other species. In his hast of proof reading the chimps’ code, he screwed up the human chromosome number two giving us 46 chromosome pairs rather than the 48 of all the other great apes.

Is there any real creationist willing to either confirm one the answers already provided, or provide another?

The Great Noodley One just wanted to kick back and chill by the Beer Volcano and monitor the output from the Stripper Factory so he used ones as a template and just tweeke with the others to get them done in 5 minutes so He could Party.

After the flood, some of the humans quickly micro evolved into apes..

Why are the creationists so silent?

 

[Pete Harcoff]

magic?

Nonononono. Goddidit.

 

[lemmings]

Nonononono. Goddidit.

What is the real difference between goddidit and Harry Potter’s magic spells?

 

[theFijian]

What is the real difference between goddidit and Harry Potter’s magic spells?

goddidit as opposed to harrydidit

“I DIDN’T GIVE BIRTH TO A MONKEY!!!”

Considering your gender icon, I'd say that was quite a relief.

Why are the creationists so silent?

From previous experience, because they can't dig holes in this one as easily as (they think they can) in the fossil record. Most creationists I debate are happy to go on at length about how the fossil record is incomplete, but look rather less comfortable when confronted with the suggestion of talking about genetic similarity.

 

[Bombila]

I suspect die-hard creationists see questions like the OP presents as ominous dark monuments surrounded by twining briars and battered by cold winds to which the monuments are impervious. Which is to say, they have no answers and it's scary.
