Refuting Ken Miller on Chromosome 2

This video contains technical terminology.

Chromosome 2 is often used as irrefutable evidence for ape-human common ancestry. Because chromosome 2 is purported to be the result of a fusion between two primate chromosomes. If there is no fusion, then evolution is wrong, but if there is a fusion, then that does not mean that Biblical Creation is wrong.

First, I correct Ken Miller's misconceptions on Intelligent Design, showing that anything that does not deal with detecting design is irrelevant to Intelligent Design.

Then I show that the "evidence" for the alleged chromosome fusion does not exist.

I used a lot of math to come find the exact BP number for the predicted fusion site as well as the locations scanned by ICR.
