I think science has found plenty of other examples of chromosomes splitting apart or combining together in different species
You think.
Do you have any scientific training? I do. (BS Math, Physics RPI '68; MS Math RPI '71)
Once (pairs of) chromosomes split or combine in some animal, they are no longer biologically compatible with normal members of the species. Fruit flies are routinely bombarded with radiation to produce unusual chromosomatic conditions. When and if such occurs, the fruit flies are jetted around the world to find similar mates; and nothing happens.
I challenge you to find and link to any scientific paper that claims the contrary.

Sure, the operative word here being "plenty".
I think there are plenty enough other examples in nature of chromosomes splitting apart or combining together for me to say it's a natural process, though I've never read a satisfying explanation of how or why that happens.

Rensselaer, in Troy?
One of my daughters went to Colgate for biology, rowed in crew, others to Ithaca & Binghamton for psychology & (my favorite) history.
I'm retired, a history "buff" and a fan of science, I have season tickets to all their home games.

Right, I "get" that, and yet there are, ahem, "plenty" of examples in nature where exactly that happened.
How & why, so far as I've ever read, nobody really knows.

Proving yet again that God's creations are still, ahem, one h*ck of a lot smarter than we are.
