Chromosome 2 is widely accepted to be a result of a fusion of two ancestral chromosomes. [2] The evidence for this includes
Its not widely accepted [outside of evolutionists], and it has nothing whatsoever to do with the conclusion derived from it by evolutionists. That chimps possess similar DNA = similar skeletal and other body formations - nothing more. To prove the evolutionist conclusion, it has to be made manifest in the absence of what creationism posits as the reason for repro, and which is limited to a specified category of life forms, namely given as 'kinds':
1. "the seed factor of the host parentage, which follows its own kind." Does ToE subsist w/o the seed factor? Here we find evolution as a superflous factor, because the seed contains all the data required for transmission, including the dna traits.
2. If the process of Chr 2 is a continuous and constant on-going process, the million year factor becomes irrelevent, and we would see this process in action at all times, even as we speak:
ANALOGY. If red marbles turn blue, every 10 days, on an on-going basis, the time factor becomes irrelevent. The process never ceases, even if each individual process takes 10 million years to come to fruition: because the next process action would be occuring alongside, seconds apart, thus at all times this process would be observable. Unless of course - this process was never the cause of speciation, or worse. We see no chimps speciating in our midst - not even reported ever thoughout mankind's existence.

I know a lot of the creation crowd will simply wave this off as god simply recycling genetic materials in his grand design.
Your are contradicting yourself, if implying there is no 'design' in evolution! Every science equation represents a design. Science is not in contradiction with genesis; it comes from there. The first scientific equation is 'A SEED FOLLOWS ITS OWN KIND'; the first recording of the universe being finite is in Genesis' opening preamble, namely there was a *BEGINNING* - I suggest you first state your preamble whenever talking about the universe origins: finite or infinite?
The first introduction of evolution, and the chronological listing of life forms, comes from genesis: Veg, fish, [virus ], birds, mammals & animals, speech endowed humans.

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
'Dust' is an appropriate scientific term for this generation, and represents all the elements of the earth [particles, minerals, gases, water]. Considering the text must be understood by all generations of man, how better would you term it?
