Please don't talk to me about the Ark (Tevah, actually) or Noah. I have not suggested that any such think actually happened.
You, however, must come up with some way to change chromosome numbers "gradually" or your whole "evolution" thing turns to $#i+.
Plants easily developed populations with different chromosome numbers - that didn’t happen either overnight or over millions of years.
And don't talk to me about plants. Plants are an entirely separate problem for you evos. Do you think animals evolved from plants, plants from animals, or was their evolution entirely separate? Your answer should be amusing.
I am quite aware of polyploidy among plants but this involve a doubling of chromosome numbers. You can do a lot of doubling and halving but you are never going to get from 20 to 21 or vice versa.

Because it shows how ludicrous your position is?
I WILL talk about the Ark on a thread about Adam and Eve and evolution - they are part and parcel of the same subject.
Do you think the story of Noah is not literal?
Why not talk to you about plants? You didn’t carve out an exception for plants.
But here is a very basic education for you on how a population can change in chromosome number.

Well, hold on there...what if one of the mice crossbred with a ferret that had elenty-one chromosomes, or a passing archaeopteryx that had umpteen? And they did it on Juneteenth?
Umpteen is a prime number, you know. ;-)
