Default Re: For those that don\'t believe in evolution - why do men have nipples?

All human embryos begin as female. Later stages of development release hormones that effectively change the gender of the embryo from female to male. The nipples have already been formed by that time.

I believe in evolution, but I don't understand how your analogy proves your point.

"Begin as female" might be a little misleading, but yeah. If certain genes (SRY for example) are turned on certain changes occur that lead to masculinization, if they remain off certain changes occur which lead to feminization. But changes still (obviously) must occur for anything resembling a normal sexual development. They both start out androgenous is probably more accurate.

Zeus Hermaphrodite but also a combo of Hermes and Aphrodite. Precursors of humans prior to sexuality.

Whoops, what type of evolution? Inorganic to organic-no. Human to inorganic-yes.

I think he's just pointing out that it doesn't make a whole lot of sense from a creationist standpoint that ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny.

ontogeny does not recapitulate phylogeny...

My suspicion is that christians would say they are made in the image of god and s/he has them. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Eh. He probably thought nipple piercings were predestined.

I think the fact that men go bald is enough to stop believing in God.

And I have a full head of hair- but I'm compassionate.

Yes it does. Not perfectly, if that's what you mean, but close enough.
