That evidence regarding the human-chimp chromosome fusion is highly impressive and quite understandable to the layman, unlike some other, more abstract evidence. <img src="graemlins/notworthy.gif" border="0" alt="[Not Worthy]" />

Retroviral endogenous DNA and other data is at the same level in terms of pure 'gee whiz!' factor, but generally they can use the retort of 'similarity in function need not mean common descent' when talking about the fossil record or homology... <img src="graemlins/banghead.gif" border="0" alt="[Bang Head]" />

I may have to steal this for later use against my own YEC archrivals.

This may be old hat for some of you people, but there is an absolutely irrefutable form of creationism -- Philip Gosse's created-appearance theory, the theory that the Universe had been created with the appearance of being older than it really is. Philip Gosse himself believed that that had been a logical way for God to create the Universe, but some of his critics have preferred to believe that it is a hypothesis of divine fraudulence.

Thus, one human chromosome could have been created with the appearance of being two previous chromosomes that had gotten fused.
