Standard response
I insist marsupials are just placentals who in some areas farthest from the Ark adapted a more productive reproductive system.
​
This is going to be my standard response to fundy nonsense.
​
Your beliefs have no effect on reality and evidently reality has no effect on your beliefs.
​
Instead of "insisting" how about some evidence or a reasonable argument to defend your beliefs other than "godidit".
​
It is unlikely or impossible for the original marsupial from whence came all sorts of marsupials to switch pouches back to front as needed from selection on mutation.
Can you support this assertion?

Re: Because nature doesn't do anything by design.
You really should do some basic research before you spout off.
​
quote:
Symmetry in biology is the balanced distribution of duplicate body parts or shapes. In nature and biology, symmetry is approximate. For example, plant leaves, while considered symmetric, rarely match up exactly when folded in half. Symmetry creates a class of patterns in nature, where the near-repetition of the pattern element is by reflection or rotation. The body plans of most multicellular organisms exhibit some form of symmetry, whether radial symmetry, bilateral symmetry or "spherical symmetry"
​
Symmetry in biology - Wikipedia

Took me all of 10 seconds to find that.

Re: Because nature doesn't do anything by design.
And your point is?
​
My point is that not only do you have no clue what symmetry and asymmetry mean in biology, you are also incapable of doing basic research about the subject before spouting off and showing your ignorance.

Re: Because nature doesn't do anything by design.
Do you want to make a claim about symmetry in biology that supports your argument? Or are you just going to whine because you got called out on spouting crap?

Re: Because nature doesn't do anything by design.
Symmetry in biology does not mean that an animal is a mirror image internally.
​
Maybe I misunderstood the point he was trying to make.
