Evolution does not adequately explain the formation of the first life on earth. (Abiogenesis) Simulation of the first animals of hybridization with different numbers of chromosomes is unlikely.

The theory of evolution (Which was presented by Charles Darwin in the book the origin of the species) is widely accepted among scientists, thanks to genetic analysis and fossils that have been preserved and show gradual development through natural selection. Religious circles did not like the subject from the beginning, primarily because evolution provided a scientific explanation for something perceived as the act of creation. I must emphasize that my point of view is not religious but scientific.
The differences between the DNA of apes and humans seem seemingly small, a total of 4%. But the 15 million differences in precisely the correct sequence! are not the hand of chance or evolution by natural selection.
There are two main problems in the theory of evolution—Which are not about the question of natural selection.

The DNA molecule is a marvel of highly complex binary code that is unlikely to have been created spontaneously. (Abiogenesis)
- Some convincing scientific theories try to explain the formation of life on Earth (Abiogenesis). The problem is that if you add up all the variables, you will get impossible coincidences!
- A constant energy source had to be found for life to exist on Earth. (Apart from lightning) life began after the creation of single cells _plankton) that were able to carry out photosynthesis. The chlorophyll that enables photosynthesis is a pretty complex molecule, DNA, by chance! Succeeded in producing the most efficient photovoltaic cell formula in nature. By analogy, it's like asking a newborn baby to write the operating system for all the computing in the world!
The thought that everything is conducted randomly is a thought we would like to believe in - but it does not correspond to reality.
The simulation step-by-step of the first humanoid apes (human ancestors) with 46 chromosomes from apes with 48 chromosomes is unlikely.
I present a simple methodological simulation of the first apes that underwent the mutation that reduced their chromosome number to 46 as humans have.
- Mutations caused the first-ever ape to fuse chromosomes, which were born with 46 chromosomes like humans. in place of 48. (In most cases, such changes result in a sick animal with low survival)
- Suppose the (first) ancestor was healthy and survived; it could not have produced fertile offspring with another great ape. Such hybridization would have created an ape with 47 chromosomes (similar to humans with Down's syndrome), and most likely, that hybrid child would be infertile. (Similar to a mule which is a cross between a horse and a donkey)
- Another possibility (even less likely) is that two identical mutations were created within a short time interval among opposite sexes that allow sexual reproduction.
- Since evolution requires inheritance, if such a pair was formed, those two individuals had to mate among all the other individuals.
- Since monkeys, including great apes, avoid incest, this is unlikely. Because it required the nuclear family's mating, the first was created with 46 chromosomes.
The conclusion that humans descend from apes seemed self-evident at the time, but on closer inspection - it does not stand the test of reality! The ancient humans resemble monkeys, but the conclusion that they are a direct result of evolution from apes, which is entirely random and spontaneous, will not stand up to a much more accurate simulation.
The simulation of human ancestors—Allegedly apes (that underwent a massive mutation) with 46 chromosomes, is reviewed in greater detail.
According to all indicators, the evolution of humans from apes began approximately 7 million years ago. Evolution is not an acquired trait; it must serve a survival purpose and be inherited; in mammals, there is only sexual reproduction. (no self-fertilization)
- Humans have 46 chromosomes, compared to apes (chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans have 48 chromosomes). There is evidence that chromosome 2 in humans is formed from the fusion of two other chromosomes, which also exist in apes. Therefore apparently, there is no contradiction in the theory of evolution.
The contradiction is found in the first iteration of apes with 46 chromosomes. (Allegedly our ancestors)
- The mutation of fusion of chromosome 2 (reduction of chromosomes) had to be carried out in a male and a female in a relatively short time window of the life expectancy at that time and the period of fertility.
Hybrids that do not have the same number of chromosomes usually do not survive and, at best, are sterile. (Similar to a mule which is a hybrid of a horse and a donkey)
- This means that the same chromosome 2 fusion mutation in the great apes but in the opposite sex would have occurred on a parallel schedule. And if that wasn't enough, those couples had to meet and produce fertile offspring!
A hybrid who underwent chromosome 2 fusion (with 46 human chromosomes) mated with an ape with 48 chromosomes would, at best, produce a sterile hybrid incapable of any evolution. (quite similar to a mule)
The scenario of an identical mutation in small time intervals, in members of female and male great apes that managed to mate and reproduce, becomes statistically extremely weak and requires more solid explanations than the existing ones. It is essential to develop the mathematics and statistics of second-order events, in which animals evolved from entirely different animals with different numbers of chromosomes because they are doubtful as a random events!
From my perspective, there is no escape but to choose one of two alternatives for the formation of life on Earth:
- God created everything and is omnipotent. (Religions do not require explanations)
- Extraterrestrial beings intervened and planted life on the Earth; later, they intervened in the human genome and perhaps all life forms!
The thought that everything is conducted randomly is a thought we would like to believe in - but it does not correspond to reality.
The problem is that none of these concepts can be proven or disproved. They will remain unsolved forever. The reason for this is logical and related to the theorem of mathematical incompleteness by Kurt Godel. To illustrate, take the sentence never say "never." The sentence is built with self-contradiction, and so is the issue of the formation of life on Earth!
Darwinian evolution explains the first-order changes of the same species through natural selection. Still, it is lacking in animals (especially mammals) with different numbers of chromosomes.
- Take, for example, the modern horse, descended from an ancient creature of the canine family, in a documented and graded process that took about 50 million years.
- Horses have 64 chromosomes (32 pairs) while dogs have 78 chromosomes (39 pairs), so unlike humans and monkeys, where the difference is a single pair, a gradual process is required here. Adding and subtracting chromosomes is possible, as it also happens in humans. But in humans, it causes Down's syndrome, and in animals, it often causes morbidity and death!
Let's assume for a moment that "a new dog with 76 chromosomes or maybe less" is indeed created. This is still not enough. Pairings of species with an unequal number of chromosomes often lead to sterility, similar to the case of a mule, a cross between a horse and a donkey. Evolution is only inherited. Therefore, the same mutation, with the same number of chromosomes, was supposed to occur in a member of the opposite sex for them to produce fertile offspring. The probability of a double mutation event, But in the case of the opposite sex, it randomly stands for the power of minus 50 or higher! (completely unlikely)
Summary & Conclusions.
The descriptions of creation in the Bible, in the book of Genesis, are consistent with the order of evolution, even though the Bible is an ancient document.
- The thought that all the origin of life on Earth is the result of random creation does not stand the test of reality. Choose the version that suits you. I completely understand people who are not looking for a complete scientific explanation and prefer the religious version. Life on Earth is not accidental but the result of God's act.
The thought that extraterrestrials may be part of the creation process on Earth is challenging for humans, believers, and heretics to accept, certainly without solid evidence.
- There is much reliable documentation about strange phenomena of animals in farms and zoos whose blood is drawn and left dead without any logical explanation. There are countless testimonies of people who have seen or experienced an encounter with extraterrestrials. Until recently, everything was taboo. After official announcements of unidentified aircraft, the issue has become legitimate and is back in the headlines.
I do not dispute the genetic and fossil findings that show an evolutionary lineage. I'm afraid I have to disagree with the attempt to present second-order evolution as a random process.
- It is worth emphasizing that first-order evolution (without chromosomal changes) is consistent with the findings and logic; second-order evolution, particularly in mammals, is not reasonable under the existing assumptions and requires re-examination.
Cat species are known to be able to produce fertile hybrids. Sometimes also in nature.
- The fact is not surprising. Despite their size differences, Cats share similar features, and all have 38 chromosomes.
When we examine anomalies in humans with 47 chromosomes (instead of 46 chromosomes), we find them problematic.
- These anomalies are less healthy, less developed, and have no advantage of natural selection. Down syndrome is manifested by an extra chromosome 21. The result is familiar. There can be mutations in the sex chromosomes; some produce infertility, and some cause medical, communication, and other health problems, including miscarriages during pregnancy.
Is the origin of humans from apes? There are contradictions, despite the compelling evidence.
