The Possum,
The Redwood Tree, and the Kidney Bean: "Our Ancestors"
A Spoof on Evolution Theory
A Spoof on Evolution Theory
The theory of evolution
teaches that living things are becoming more complex as time progresses.
Because the chromosomes in living matter are one of the most complex
bits of matter in the known universe, it would seem logical to assume
that organisms with the least number of chromosomes were the first
ones to evolve and those with the most chromosomes are the end result
of millions of years of evolution experimenting to increase complexity
in living organisms. From the chart, it is "obvious" that we all started
off as penicillium with only 2 chromosomes, and that we slowly evolved
into fruit flies. After many "millions of years" we turned into tomatoes
(or house flies) and so on, until we reached the human stage with
46 chromosomes. One of our ancestors must have been one of the identical
triplets opossums, redwood trees, and kidney beans with 22 chromosomes
each.
If we are allowed to "continue evolving" we may someday be tobacco plants and maybe we may even become carp with 100, or maybe even the ultimate life form, a fern with 480 chromosomes! Don t you believe it! God made this world and all life forms, as recorded in the Bible.
