Chalicotheres: A Horse-Gorilla Mixture?
The chalicotheres were horse-like creatures (i.e. - perissodactyls); however, unlike horses, they walked on their knuckles as gorillas do. Also, unlike horses, but like apes, the front limbs of the chalicotheres were significantly longer than their hind limbs. Interestingly, they started walking on their knuckles about the same time that the first apes appear in the fossil record. Yet chalicotheres and apes were apparently not related, because their recognized ancestors, the first perissodactyls and primates, arrived 30 million years earlier, about 55 million years ago.[1] One must consider the probability that knuckle walking evolved twice, and that it just happened to evolve at the same time in two unrelated lineages, which also just happened to have long front limbs. The probabilities of this happening by natural means are rather small.
Therefore, we may postulate a more paranormal explanation, which involves the copying and pasting of genetic material from the apes into the chalicotheres.
In addition to walking on their knuckles, the chalicotheres had claws on their feet instead of hooves or toes. This was unparalleled among the perissodactyls, and may suggest the chalicotheres shared DNA with carnivores or some other animal with claws. Perhaps they did not evolve by natural selection at all, but rather by paranormal selection, from angels or aliens that manipulated their DNA.

The creationist narrative in Genesis 1 is contradicted by many ancient Christian texts. Instead of an Almighty Creator God, ancient Christian texts espouse that the universe is born from blind arrogance and stupidity. The angels caused evolution to occur from species to species. There are many gods, (or aliens?), and the Christian God is just one among them. Satan the Devil writes scripture, and thus the Bible was polluted with Genesis 1. Archaeology and modern scholarship demonstrate that Genesis is indeed corrupted. Cavemen walk with Adam and Eve. Esoteric prophecies reveal the coming of Christ, and also reveal the dark forces that govern the cosmos. Such are the ancient Christian writings.
Science vindicates the truth of these ideas. Evolution often happens too fast for Darwin’s theory. Gaps in the fossil record indicate that some kind of unnatural force acts together with natural selection. Astrobiology reveals that intelligent life probably evolved long before us. The fossil record reveals strange clues that aliens abducted species and transported them across oceans, and that DNA from diverse lineages was combined to spawn hybrid species. Evidently, aliens influence evolution, and they are the gods of the world’s religions.
