Hello people.
I have a question regarding telomeres.
The evidence for the chromosomes fusing is undeniable.
And usually a creationists will just try to avoid the topic.
However i heard a creationist, make a claim that yes humans did have 24 pairs of chromosomes when God created them, but due to the fall or some other reason they fused. "After all it's a common design".
This seems like post hoc rationalising, but is there anything that can be said to refute that. If we are only talking about the Chromosome 2 and telomeres etc. I don't want to use ERVs to refute this, they are good pieces of evidence on their own.
Also when drawing those little diagrams , am i right when i draw a normal chromosome, that it looks like this:
pre-telomere: '~'
telomere: '='
genes: '#'
centromere: '&'
