Re: *Official* Evolution is Stupid Thread
as far as the ear is concerned..I just want to point out that you are right in that a thin membrane with a nerve to recieve the signal would allow you to hear...but it wouldn't be nearly as clear as is produced by the anvil, hammer, etc setup...as a matter of fact it is the evolution of the ear is downright dependent on it being true that a "lesser" ear can still function on some level...
if it couldn't, the ear would be irreducibly complex and a creationist's new best friend [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
for some sense of hearing...pretty much anything that that can vibrate will do..whether it be a bone, or a membrane, or hair, etc...if you put a toothpic or pin or something in btween your teeth and press it against a spinning record, you can pick up sound in your teeth and jaw vibrating..I can't remember where I read this, but I think there is evidence that many animals hear from their jaw.
