Maybe I missed it. But in all of this patting yourself on the back, I didn't see how the living things that exist all around us ended up with differing numbers of chromosomes, perhaps you could elucidate.

I'm trying to figure out what's going on. There seem to be some strange issues getting in the way of our discourse. You're having significant trouble remembering basic details about my position. Your displaying a baffling inability to remember that I NOT YOU get to define my position despite my reminding you in multiple threads and a strange inability to make simple deductions.

The latest example is that you managed to loose most of the actual information I gave you regarding my position in the flat earth discussion. Then made an addition to my position in the form of dates which according to your own sources are not universally used and which I don't adhere to. Got hung up on Columbus for no reason that I can fathom and then despite realizing that my position makes no sense with the additions you've made, you still haven't managed to figure out that the problem is that you did something really stupid.

With knowldge comes power. Arguing with someone who has no knowldge of geometry, calculus, history, comon sense and reasoning skills is pointless. This argument will continue forever as long as you engage with someone who leads their life with blind faith. The Noah's ark tale is much older than the bible and is found in religious scripture all over the world. There are plenty of sound arguments that show that there is no way the entire earth flooded. But if you are a man (or woman) who believes blindly, then there is no reason to argue. You can believe whatever you want to. You just look unintelligent to educated persons.

First, you appear to have no knowledge of what faith is, "Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld" (Hebrews 11:1) and is pretty much the antithesis of "blind faith".

Also the fact that; "Noah's ark tale is found in religious scripture all over the world" is pointed to by some as proof of a worldwide flood, otherwise why would it be found, "all over the world" and in looking at the various descriptions in all that "religious scripture" it is interesting to note that the Bible is the only source that seems to have the complete story. Just saying.....

Chromosomes get split and spliced during copying. For instance human chromosome 2 is very obviously the chimp chromosomes 2a and 2b fused together.

Yeah I've heard that. Now tell me after this fusing, were were humans and chimps still able to have viable children together?

Nope, it is basically not exactly round either. You see, due to the earth's rotation on its axis, the centripetal force causes the earth to bulge at the equator.

In truth, the whole "the earth is flat" idea had been dispelled by the Greeks, which is why Columbus thought he could sail west to get to India.

So basically, none of the explorers ever tried to prove the earth was round, they always knew it was.

Up until now, you never said early dark ages, you just said dark ages, so now it seems you are just, shall we say stretching the truth, to cover up the fact that you can't admit you made a mistake.

Post 531 on page 27 reads as follows, look it up:

Obviously circle of the Earth means the earth is flat

That is how Bible scholars determined that the earth was flat during the early dark ages arguing against the scientific, evidence based theory that the earth was spherical.

Columbus' big mistake was he thought it was much smaller than it really is. He thought the voyage to India would be much shorter. He wasn't even halfway when he got to the Caribbean and he was already very short on all supplies on his ships. He would never have made it to India even if a direct sea route had existed.

Numerical Abnormalities:

When an individual is missing either a chromosome from a pair (monosomy) or has more than two chromosomes of a pair (trisomy). An example of a condition caused by numerical abnormalities is Down Syndrome, also known as Trisomy 21 (an individual with Down Syndrome has three copies of chromosome 21, rather than two). Turner Syndrome is an example of monosomy, where the individual - in this case a female - is born with only one sex chromosome, an X.

First, I look around and see every living thing has a different number of chromosomes and don't seem capable of mating with those with a differing number of chromosomes, even those with the same number of chromosomes don't seem capable of mating. Like a Red Panda and a Starfish both have 36 and mating would seem impossible. So my first question is; how does Evolution account for this great variety in the number of chromosomes and their inability mate outside their "species"?
