Code 46 (2003)
IMDB rating: 6.30
Plot: Code 46 is a love story set in a Brave New World-type near-future where cities are heavily controlled and only accessible through checkpoints. People cannot travel unless they have “papelles,” a special travel permit issued by the totalitarianistic government, the “Sphinx”. Outside these cities, the desert has taken over and shanty towns are jammed with non-citizens - people without papelles forced to live primitive lives. William is a family man who works as a government investigator. When he is sent to Shanghai to solve a case of fake papelles, he meets a woman named Maria. Although he realizes she is behind the forgeries, he cannot help but fall completely in love with her. He hides her crime and they have a wild, passionate affair that can only last as long as his papelles: 24 hours. Back home, William is obessed with the memory of Maria. When the original investigation is inevitably re-opened a week later and William is sent back to finish the work he started, he tracks her down, only to discover she has been accused of a Code 46 violation and any further relationship is impossible.

If we did evolve from apes, how could the process allow humans to lose two chromosomes and become a advanced?
Darwinism is widely accepted event though scientist are constantly finding more evidence that it is a false theory and not a fact. Of coarse if we believe Darwinism is true we believe that man evolved from apes or a primitive from of ape. Humans have 46 chromosomes and apes have 48. Chromosomes determine your characteristics and fundamentally are the codes that make up a species. If so, then how did homo sapiens lose two chromosomes and become a more advanced species?
I’m sure someone who believes in the "theory" of evolution will come up with what they think is a plausible excuse, err, reason for it.

why don’t you read Darwin’s Origin of the species , its very understandable and you can start to understand why we oppose your view of a magic created universe
I note your calling the accept theory of evolution, Darwinism as a single persons theory rather than the generally accepted view of both Christianity ( including the worlds biggest denomination
0) as well as almost unanimous View of scientists. while you harry potter and few wackos believe in the Magic View
scientists do not think we evolved from apes , only ignorant creationists who don’t understand evolution believe this
could you give some examples of this theory the evolution is incorrect
its irrelevant how many chromosomes apes have as we are not descended from them
there is no concept of advance species in evolution only more suited to fill an ecological niche
however to address your question
Apes and humans differ by one pair is correct with humans having one less
pair. Most scientists that study this subject favor humans fusing of two
pairs to reduce the number and there seems to be evidence for this in
chromosome 2. Some scientists favor the fission theory where apes got an
extra pair from fission of one of their chromosomes…but I don’t know of
the evidence for this. By the way, primates closest to humans have 48
pairs while others like monkeys differ substantially
You can see it if you can find a picture of
the chromosomes (called a karyotype) of a chimpanzee and a human and put
them side by side. It is assumed that in humans two chromosomes fused to
produce a total of 46, because most gorillas also have 48. It makes more
sense that the event happened in humans than that the event happened
independently in the same spot at random in chimps and gorillas. WHen you
look at a karyotype you note not only the number of chromosomes, but
depending on how they were stained, you can see the pattern of bands (light
and dark areas) on the chromosomes. When you take the two chromosomes that
chimps and gorillas have, and put them end to end beside chromosome number 2
of humans, the banding pattern is almost identical. Click on this link to
see a diagram of this:
http://www.indiana.edu/~ensiweb/lessons/ chr.bk1.html
What you are looking at is a diagram of chromosomes 1-4 with the human
chromosome on the left and the chimpanzee chromosome on the right. Note that
for chromosome 2, humans have one long one, but the chimp has two short ones
there. This also shows only one of each chromosome for each species, so when
you add the other set, that gives humans 46 and chimps 48. Also note the
similarities in the banding patterns between the two. They are very similar,
but not identical, because time has passed since we last shared a common
ancestor, and mutations have occurred in the DNA of both organisms.

Humans didn’t evolve from apes, they share a common ancestor with apes, and in fact share a common ancestor with all forms of life.
Your statement that "scientist are constantly finding more evidence that it is a false theory" is a flat-out lie.
The fact is that scientists (plural) have found more than enough evidence for evolution to prove that it is a fact, and are finding more of it every day.
I know that you desperately want the Book of Genesis to be accepted as the factual account of the origin of species on Earth, the way it was before the discovery of evolution, but the evidence is overwhelming. The scientific community accepts evolution as biological fact, the way we accept that the Earth revolves around the sun.

Well everything on earth descended from algae and stardust, so considering that why is it so unlikely that humans could lose 2 chromosomes? I’m not saying humans are descended from apes and lost 2 chromosomes, I’m just saying it’s no more unlikely than any other crazy stuff that goes on in the universe.

we didnt "lose" anything… we really have almost exactly the same amount of genetic material. but somewhere along the line, some chromosomes got fused together… so we have fewer chromosomes, but about the same number of genes because some of our chromosomes are just bigger, ‘combination’ chromosomes. turkeys have a lot more chromosomes than either humans or turkeys– chromosome number has NOTHING to do with how "advanced" a species is
patchesad | Feb 06, 2010
As a natter of fact, the theory of evolution allows us to predict a solution to that problem, and iin fact we have evidence that the prediction is true. At some point in the development of modern humans we fused 2 chromosomes.

Basically,how do I ensure that what I’m downloading is the real movie and not porn.Also,what format will the movies be in?
