"Why do human males have nipples?" kjkent1 _______________________________________ I believe all male mammals have nipples. Ever hear "Worthless as teats on a boar"?

im quoting from a book....take it up with them if they are shooting these facts out their rear....but im sure they being scientist and all would know a little more than you and according to them in our solar system it only happens on earth......not that i believe everything i read..im just quoting ..and posting what thunder wanted...evidence or clues for a designer..thats all...if you wish to participate...find out if the statement they made is false till then lets take their word over yours...cool?
i believe i am safe in assuming that no living scientist has explored the universe for plate tectonics.
ok...but assuming doesnt do us any good...so i will go with them on this...when you have done proper reasearch to negate their statement...please do chime in.. THUNDER???? talk to us boobey and they said solar system.....im using ur science against you, you cant just pick and choose which part of science you want to believe.....im going to quote scientist from here on out...so as to prove that science cant prove our origin....
when you put up a good argument i will properly respond. please don't use christian creation scientists as your only source. they aren't intellectually honest in most cases.
Equally, evidence of a limited number of old bones can never falsify the theory of evolution of the species.
I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. You don't need to go through all that work. Just post the link to the text that you find online. FYI: I did find Mr. Deem's site and I've located the source of your content. Just trying to set some reasonable ground rules that we're not all chasing each other's tails. Wait, we don't have tails, just a little vestigial tip at the end of the spine.
