Simple plea for you today: My “Bible Q&A” category on the blog is looking a little empty… Thought perhaps we might fill it up a bit. Is there a question you have about something you’ve read in the Bible? Any question at all. Feel free to hit “reply” to this if reading on email, and if you’re reading on the blog, just leave a comment below.
I just started checking out your podcast a month or so back, starting from podcast #1. I am still listening to casts you put up in 2017, so I am not sure if you have ever did a deep dive on the _Chromosome 2_ controversy.
I have have had little luck digging up much else other than a few papers at ICR. I get this one thrown at me repeatedly by a couple of evolutionists, probably because I don't have much of an informed opinion on the matter. So it seems to have become their go to argument when our paths cross.
Although I get a little lost in the scientific jargon used to explain the Chromosome 2 issue, because evolutionists often seem to start from a position of assuming evolution is a proven truth, they conclude that the apparent fused chromosome 2 is evidence of man having evolved from primates. But even if it was agreed upon that Chromosome 2 is indeed a fused chromosome, it seems to me the conclusion drawn is an absolute leap of faith, concluding that the fusion which apparently occurred in a distant primate relative is what resulted in evolved man.
But of the few papers I found on the issue, the most recent one by Jeffery Tomkins, seemed to deny the likelihood of Chromosome 2 being a fused chromosome at all.
I wonder if you are in the know on this issue and can distill things down a little more?
**I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears**
Can you point me in the direction of the highest level debate/discussion you've seen between Young Earth and Old Earth models based on scripture and science?
