- Can you give information about hybrid animals? – A horse and a zebra, a camel and a llama, a lion and a tiger can mate and give birth to a hybrid living being though they have different numbers of chromosomes. How can we explain it?

Dear Brother / Sister,

It is difficult to answer this question through laboratory studies. We will make some guesses and interpretations along with philosophical evaluations here.

It is not biologically and genetically possible to attribute living beings with different numbers of chromosomes and structures to a common ancestor because there is no reason to make it necessary to come from a common ancestor.

All kinds of creation, including a common ancestor, are possible for a Creator with infinite knowledge, will and power, However, the fact that each species has its own genetic structure and a world of spirit and feelings suitable for that body structure shows that they were created independently.

Atheist evolutionists claim that living beings come from a common ancestor in accordance with their philosophy and beliefs since they reject a creator in the first place and attribute all creations to causes and coincidence. In fact, these claims are not based on scientific data. However, they present their philosophical and metaphysical views as if they are scientific knowledge.

It is possible for some creatures with different genetic structures to mate and produce hybrid offspring. Since the chromosomes in the genetic structures of these hybrid beings cannot be divided into two equal parts in terms of number and structure, unbalanced gametes occur. These unbalanced gametes do not allow the creation of a new living being. Therefore, hybrids are generally sterile. That is, they cannot produce offspring. They definitely take place within the knowledge, will and power of a creator too.
