We have 46 pairs of chrom. and apes have 48. Sorry i haven't taken biology in a few years.

Why are chimps/apes/monkeys/gorillas not still evolving into humans?
Why is it that humans have 48 pairs of chromosomes and some chimps/apes/monkeys/gorillas have 50 pairs of chromosomes?

It is true that humans are related to chimps/apes/monkeys/gorillas because some of our genes do come from them, but where do the rest come from? The rest of our genetic makeup is completely alien.
Fits in with the Nibiru theory, that humans were created beings and that did not evolve from chimps/apes/monkeys/gorillas.
If I recall correctly, primates have 48 chromosomes and humans have 46. I find it hard to believe that we evolved from primates and lost 2 chromosomes in the process. Somebody correct me if I am wrong.

You are right about the chromosome count but wrong in your conclusion. Number of chromosomes is not an indication of stage of evolution. Guinea Pigs have 64 pairs. Goldfish have 100.

If scientists say we evolved from apes you can not take something with a higher amount of chromosomes and get something with a lower amount that is more evolved, its simply IMPOSSIBLE.

And where did you get your degree in genetic paleoanthropology? There you go again, spouting nonsense.

We never had that. Our ancestors were like squires with big brains.
(MODS: I don't know if that's uploaded right. Is wiki's image links good? or should I reupload it on photobucket?)
Why are chimps/apes/monkeys/gorillas not still evolving into humans?
Because humans aren't the apex of evolution. Why aren't elephants, dolphins, or crows evolving into humans? They have very complex brains? Why isn't a cuddlefish evolving into a human? they're the most intelligent of all non-mammalian sea creatures.
Humans have our own niche. We are not a target, we are a line of opportunity that humans fit into.
Why is it that humans have 48 pairs of chromosomes and some chimps/apes/monkeys/gorillas have 50 pairs of chromosomes?
Why does a lung fish have the the most amount of genes of all known life?
Because it's how it evolved. It's quality, not quantity.

No, Technically they evolved from us! And in some cases, we mated with them and merged into one species for some time periods.
And if we didn't have that unique DNA, we wouldn't be us. DNA is more like a historic graph. The genes that lungfish had are within us.
If you were to deactivate certain genes, and activate others, you could make a chicken give birth to a dinosaur. It';s because dinosaur DNA is still within them, just unused.
Fits in with the Nibiru theory, that humans were created beings and that did not evolve from chimps/apes/monkeys/gorillas.
We didn't. we evolved from squirrel-like creatures. Some evolved into us, others into primates.
If I recall correctly, primates have 48 chromosomes and humans have 46. I find it hard to believe that we evolved from primates and lost 2 chromosomes in the process. Somebody correct me if I am wrong.
As I said, quality, not quantity. Lungfish have the most genes, but are the most primitive of land species. It depends on necessity.

Sea creatures have nothing to do with human/ape evolution. Apes are the closest to the human gene family any other creature is therefore ruled out of evolutionary process.

Yes i'm the one spouting nonsense, saying apes have more chromosomes then humans and are less evolved then humans are. Thats nonsense, well then i wonder what does make sense.
How many times has this Op contradicted themselves?
If Nibiru is covered in ice like you say, then the need to spot it using infrared is waste of time. Ice reflects light, not absorbs it
Stars, even brown dwarfs are made of gas, they do not contain ice
Large planets and stars, usually emit to much heat to be covered in ice
Op has constantly referred to the alleged Nibiru to be a planet and star
The interpretation of Nibiru came from Sitchin, who does not have a degree in ancient languages. 99.9% of REAL ancient texts scholars, specialising in Sumerian interpretations, disagree with him.
