Who intelligently designed human chromosome 2 to make it look exactly like the fusion of ape chromosomes 2p/2q?

1. The analogous chromosomes (2p and 2q) in the non-human great apes can be shown, when laid end to end, to create an identical banding structure to the human chromosome 2.

2. The remains of the sequence that the chromosome has on its ends (the telomere) is found in the middle of human chromosome 2 where the ancestral chromosomes fused.

3. The detail of this region (pre-telomeric sequence, telomeric sequence, reversed telomeric sequence, pre-telomeric sequence) is exactly what we would expect from a fusion.

4. This telomeric region is exactly where one would expect to find it if a fusion had occurred in the middle of human chromosome 2.

5. The centromere of human chromosome 2 lines up with the chimp chromosome 2p chromosomal centromere.

6. At the place where we would expect it on the human chromosome we find the remnants of the chimp 2q centromere.

Who is responsible for this? Is it:

1. God, being deceptive and doing his best to make it look like he doesn't exist?

2. Satan, which God let design just one chromosome?

3. Darwin, to hide the fact that there is no evidence for evolution?

4. Someone else?

Update:

Bella, your little copypasta does not address chromosome 2 at all.

Update 2:

Poplar, that article was funny. Those people really are shameless.

    Well apparently Satan is not allowed to create life, but he's allowed to create a little genetic code.

    Well no one did, its just evolution.

    And im quite amazed that such an intelligent being as you(i assume you are) says something like

    "Darwin, to hide the fact that there is no evidence for evolution?". Well let me give u the indifinite proof of evolution :), or well an example of CURRENT evolution, and indefinite proof of evolution. First off we can see evolution in flies in the country and how farmers have to use different kinds of pesticides because they become resistent over 3-5 years(they reproduce fast, compared to humans it would be equvilent to something like 10.000-20.000 years, but they live shorter, reproduce faster). Anyway the indifinte proof is that every single living organism on earth have same basepar/dna-helix structure consisting of same materials and all, now the chance of THAT specific structure to happen with just ONE living organism is something like 10^-23, or somewhere around that, u know what i mean. Now since thats the chance at 1 being, now what about the other billions of living organism on earth, who all have that structure? The chances of that being a coincidence is so small that it is considered impossible, so thats pretty much proof of evolution!

    Since apparently "sin" changed so much of the world, including all of the genetics of all living things, making a more complicatedly interacting biosphere (including the undetectable facade of all life having a common descent) than God the Creator created, "sin" is an even more intelligent designer than god. Pretty amazing considering that it's not an entity or a process, just an action. Some nudist eating an evil mango somehow altered all of biology and physics across the universe. Including changing the world from flat to round several millennia later, completely undetected except for the stories in the Bible of the world having been flat.

    What exactly is your point?

    Humans and apes apparently evolved from a common ancestor.

    Not all religious people are opposed to science. Me, for example.

    1. In what way is God being "deceptive?"

    2. Satan is just a metaphor for our own selfish nature.

    3. Evolution was already there, whether Darwin discovered it or not.

    If humans had been found to have 24 chromosome pairs, this would have been understood as evidence for common ancestry with apes because apes also have 24.

    Since humans actually have 23, it is understood that this provides evidence that evolution resulted in ape chromosomes being fused. For the evolutionists, then, it’s ‘heads I win, tails you lose’.

    Is mother nature a real person? Maybe an ancient scientist who dabbled in DNA design! No gods or devils or heavens or hells exist anywhere outside of any ones properly inculcated mind! The only possible truth since the bile say's you need a (pretend fake) belief of faith to even believe any gods or devils are believable! Where do you get this, (pretend fake) belief of faith then? You get it from the religions brainwashing priests not from any man made up truths!

    In reality, the genetic differences between humans and chimpanzees are probably greater than 2%. More recent studies have shown that the true genetic divergence between humans and apes is probably closer to 5%. Thus, the “over 98% similarity” argument is probably an overstatement.

    The differences between the DNA sequence of the human and the chimp are not distributed randomly throughout the genome. Rather, the differences are found in clusters. Actually, at those specific locations, the chimp’s genome is similar to that of other primates. It is the human that stands out from the rest. Scientists often refer to these "clusters" as human accelerated regions (HAR’s) because the human genome supposedly shared a common ancestor with chimps. These HAR’s are located in DNA segments that do not code for genes. But this requires us to believe that evolution just so happened to cause such rapid change to occur in sites where those changes make an important difference in an organism’s functioning necessary to ultimately create a human.

    Such would be a whopper of a just-so story. But it gets better. Some HAR’s are found in DNA segments that do code for genes, and herein lies another multitude of difficulties. Evolution would predict that humans evolved from the chimp-human ancestor via natural selection acting on chance variations induced by mutations. However, recent research reveals just the opposite. The HAR’s that were found in protein coding genes showed evidence not of mutations that had been selected in view of their advantageous phenotype, but rather the exact opposite. The genetic changes showed evidence that they were, in point of fact, deleterious. They had become established in the population not because they provided some physiological advantage, but in spite of being deleterious. Such results make little sense within an evolutionary framework.

    Clearly, the HAR’s show a trend in which the differences observed in the human DNA (as compared to similar species) typically increase the G-C content of that particular region of the DNA strand. Evolution would predict that the G-C content of the underlying gene should remain relatively constant, as natural selection picks out the DNA mutations that improve the protein. If evolution is true, therefore, we should not expect a consistent trend toward an increasing G-C content.

    These HAR’s are not always limited simply to the protein coding part of the gene, but often extend beyond the border into the flanking sequences. This further suggests that these differences which are observed in the human DNA are not, in fact, consequences of natural selection enhancing the protein that the gene encodes. The HAR’s often tend to cluster in a single part of a gene, in and around a single exon (as opposed to across the entire gene), and they tend to correlate with male (but not female) recombination. Such observations make little sense in light of evolution.

    Source(s): In conclusion, as interesting as genetic similarities between chimpanzees and humans are, they are not evidence for Darwinism. Design is also able to explain them. Designers often make different products by utilization of similar parts, materials and arrangements. The common percentage pertains to the regions of our DNA that result in proteins. It makes more sense of the data for the Designer of nature to have used the same proteins to perform the same function in a variety of organisms.

    Funny, I was just thinking about how weird it was that most toyota vehicles look the same on the inside.

    It has to be 1 of two things:

    1. All the other toyota's merged from one car

    2. They both had the same creator

    What do you think is more likely?

    It would only be fair for you to mention that this was answered by Will Brooks, who holds a Ph.D. in Cell Biology.

    "Three explanations could account for this proposed chromosomal fusion. "

    And none of them are listed in your answers. Readers, what would you call this kind of deception ???
