Jesus had only 13 chromosomes

[snopes]

Comment: One of my students in a Women's Health class asked me if I knew
that Jesus Christ only had 13 chromosones. When I asked her where she got
this info she said a religious organization had told this to her Bible
study class. The research was in a National Geographics story that
indicated when Jesus died there was an earthquake; during the earthquake
some of his blood ran into a crack in the earth and landed on the Ark of
the Covemant (!) which was buried below the site of the crucifixion. All
of this was unearthed recently and DNA studies were performed on the
uncorrupted blood sample. I had several women who were in my class who
attended this Bible study and they all corroborated the student's story.

Well, the first problem with Jesus being haploid is that the XO sex-determining chromsome configuration is phenotypicially female...and the YO configuration is lethal.

Here's a website with more info.

Thats too logical an argument for people who believe that dinosaurs were on Noah's Ark.

What makes them think the Ark of the Covenant was buried under the site of Jesus' crucifixion?

You forgot to remove your brain before reading the article.
Put in someplace for safe keeping, so it won't get contaminated.
Reinsert (and reboot) later.

And Adam and Eve had no belly-buttons.

I thought the ark was still in the temple in Jerusalem at the time of Jesus' death, since it hadn't been destroyed yet.

Doh!

Haploid for human would be 23 chromosomes.


Tried to read the link and my brian recoiled in auto-defense mode.

I thought it was being "looked into" by important people.

From ChristianAnswers.Net:

So that is where the Ark has been, but where is it now? Most scholars agree the Ark was never placed in the Second Temple (the Temple of Zerubabel and Herod). It disappeared from the Biblical story during the First Temple period and cannot be clearly traced afterward.

http://www.christiananswers.net/q-abr/abr-a018.html

I think this may be because Ezra 1 lists the items put into the Second Temple, and doesn't list the Arc specifically:

Ezra 1
Cyrus Helps the Exiles to Return
1 In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, in order to fulfill the word of the LORD spoken by Jeremiah, the LORD moved the heart of Cyrus king of Persia to make a proclamation throughout his realm and to put it in writing:
2 "This is what Cyrus king of Persia says:
" 'The LORD, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and he has appointed me to build a temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah. 3 Anyone of his people among you—may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem in Judah and build the temple of the LORD, the God of Israel, the God who is in Jerusalem. 4 And the people of any place where survivors may now be living are to provide him with silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with freewill offerings for the temple of God in Jerusalem.' "

5 Then the family heads of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and Levites—everyone whose heart God had moved—prepared to go up and build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem. 6 All their neighbors assisted them with articles of silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with valuable gifts, in addition to all the freewill offerings. 7 Moreover, King Cyrus brought out the articles belonging to the temple of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and had placed in the temple of his god. 8 Cyrus king of Persia had them brought by Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah.

9 This was the inventory:
gold dishes 30
silver dishes 1,000
silver pans 29

10 gold bowls 30
matching silver bowls 410
other articles 1,000

11 In all, there were 5,400 articles of gold and of silver. Sheshbazzar brought all these along when the exiles came up from Babylon to Jerusalem.

A girl in my high-school biology class insisted that men had one less rib than women, because of Adam and Eve. I enlisted several of the boys in the class to count their ribs to prove her wrong. Needless to say, she was MAD when I shattered her comfortable superstitious misconception.

Wow, undeniable proof that Jesus even existed. That does it for me, I am saved.

I was more concerned on how they could have done this:

All of this was unearthed recently and DNA studies were performed on the uncorrupted blood sample.

Considering we don't know know:
1) Where the Ark is located at present
2) Where Jesus (if he existed) was crucified much less if there was an earthquake.

I think if any one of these were proven, we would be haring more than what this guy is saying.

So... Jeus's mother was somehow asexual?
