They do NOT contain SEXUAL characteristics of both sexes. They contain characteristics of the x chromosome. Only when the y chromosome comes into play do they begin to show male characteristics. The embryo is "remodeled" upon influence of the y chromosome. The proto vagina withers to become a ligament. The proto clitoris wraps around the eurethra to become a penis. The proto ovaries are converted to testes. Consider this: Mammary glands are present in the adult male, but do not "normally" develop to their full potential. During puberty, when the hormone producing glands are kicking in, hormonal balance between estrogen and testosterone is sometimes a bit off. When this happens, the male nipple may be observed to exude a milky substance. There are a few unlucky males whose mammaries fully develop. I know one young fellow who has had breast-reduction surgery, twice! Without influence of the y chromosome, all mammals would develop into females. Quote: Dr. Safarti"... this refutes the urban myth that human embryos ‘start off female’." Hardly! Please Note: AIG is not a scientific source, and Dr. Sarfati is a chess champion with degrees in Chemistry. He is out of his element here. ------------------If God wanted nudists, We'd be born naked.

"Only if you rub them against your chest."
--Exactly, its a sexual stimulant, your not going to reach sexual climax by just standing there are you? (atleast for most people) "Nonsense. They do NOT contain SEXUAL characteristics of both sexes. They contain characteristics of the x chromosome. Only when the y chromosome comes into play do they begin to show male characteristics. The embryo is "remodeled" upon influence of the y chromosome. The proto vagina withers to become a ligament. The proto clitoris wraps around the eurethra to become a penis. The proto ovaries are converted to testes."--Yes, you attain sexual characteristics of both the male and the female at about week 5 when most human characteristics begin taking form. Not untill about the 8th week can gender be detected. As is stated in any Human anatomy and physiology textbook. "Consider this: Mammary glands are present in the adult male, but do not "normally" develop to their full potential. During puberty, when the hormone producing glands are kicking in, hormonal balance between estrogen and testosterone is sometimes a bit off. When this happens, the male nipple may be observed to exude a milky substance. There are a few unlucky males whose mammaries fully develop. I know one young fellow who has had breast-reduction surgery, twice!"--Thats unfortunate, and I am well aware of these implications. It was an interesting topic in Biology. If you were to stimulate the male mammary glands for about a week you would get approx 1 tbsp of 'milk'. I thought that was pretty nuts when I heard that one. "Without influence of the y chromosome, all mammals would develop into females."--G-whiz, wouldn't that suck. "Hardly!"--I was never aware of the 'urban myth that human embryos 'start off female'', but I know it isn't true, you attain no detectable gender related anatomistic characteristics untill about the 5th week of embryonic development. "Please Note: AIG is not a scientific source, and Dr. Sarfati is a chess champion with degrees in Chemistry. He is out of his element here."--'Hardly!', see above. ------------------

TC - "Nipples are a sexual stimulant"
db - "Only if you rub them against your chest." TC --"Exactly, its a sexual stimulant" Son, Is your vocabularly really that limited, or do you fail to understand the relationship of cause and effect? TC - "you attain sexual characteristics of both the male and the female at about week 5 ..." Male characteristics are modified from female ones. "... As is stated in any Human anatomy and physiology textbook." Cite any. db - "Without influence of the y chromosome, all mammals would develop into females." TC --G-whiz, wouldn't that suck. --I was never aware of the 'urban myth that human embryos 'start off female'', but I know it isn't true. This is the first time you have considered this question isn't it? Use your reasoning capacity TC. If all mammals would be female, without the influence of the y chromosome, then how can you have male characteristics BEFORE the y chromosome is expressed? You can't. Remember, AIG is not a scientific source, it is a Religious one, And Dr. Sarfati is out of his element. I suspect that you, Safarti and AIG are concerned that the facts of the matter run contrary to holy scripture. Yes? If so, answer me this: According to Genesis chapter one, which human was created first, male or female? Welcome to the real world, where everything is not as you thought, and nothing is the same as it was in your childhood. -----------------db Bachelor of Arts - Loma Linda University Major - Biology; Minor - Religion Anatomy and Physiology - LLU School of Medicine Embryology - La Sierra University Biblical languages - Pacific Union College Bible doctrines - Walla Walla College [This message has been edited by doctrbill, 02-16-2002]

Second, I'd like you to realize that TC is still in their childhood, as they are only 15 years old.

"Son, Is your vocabularly really that limited, or do you fail to understand the relationship of cause and effect?"
--Your not arroused by this action? I think there is a defect in understanding here. "Male characteristics are modified from female ones."--Quote - Human Anatomy and Physiology Second Edition - Elaine N. Marieb Page 967. quote: "Cite any."--See above. "This is the first time you have considered this question isn't it? Use your reasoning capacity TC. If all mammals would be female, without the influence of the y chromosome, then how can you have male characteristics BEFORE the y chromosome is expressed? You can't."--Exactly, their indifferent, see above. On a genetic level you can postulate gender, but they are anatomically indifferent untill the 5th week. "I suspect that you, Safarti and AIG are concerned that the facts of the matter run contrary to holy scripture. Yes? If so, answer me this: According to Genesis chapter one, which human was created first, male or female?"--Thats a toughy! The Male, the order of creation has nothing to do with embryonic developmental structure. "Welcome to the real world, where everything is not as you thought, and nothing is the same as it was in your childhood."--'Welcomes himself to the real world', hows come its not any different, mabye cause I was in the real world... ------------------

--Yes it does doesn't it? Now what would that be to explain now? I think it is evident I am much less ignorant than some in the forum (not to mention names), such is the debate, you will find your duds, and you will find your intelligent conversations. ------------------

quote: quote: "male and female created he them" on the sixth day. Gen. 1:27.They are apparently spoken into existence simultaneously, like everything else is in the first chapter of Genesis. The second chapter gives a quite different scenario wherein the male is formed as a sculpture and then animated by breathing into his nostrils. The female is made sometime later, after it has become apparent that the male can find no suitable mate among the animals.The male is formed out of soil, but the female is made via a surgical proceedure: a rib is removed from the male and used to form the body of the female. Were they both, male and female, spoken into existence on the sixth day?Or was the male sculpted and then animated, and the female subsequently constructed from a rib of the man? Chapter two certainly makes it clear that the male was made first.Chapter one strongly suggests that they appeared simultaneously by the miraculous power of God's spoken command. This is why I ask the question regarding which came first.The Bible presents two alternatives, two theories if you will. Chapter one presents the sexes as having equal status: both of them sharing the mastery of all life in the universe (heaven, earth and sea); both of them living in a world that was "very good." Chapter two presents the male as the pre-eminent one and the female as a derivation of him: both of them workers on a plantation; both of them failing the test of loyalty; both of them losing their jobs, being placed on probation, and expelled from the plantation to the thorny desert outside its gate. -----------db ------------------Bachelor of Arts - Loma Linda University Major - Biology; Minor - Religion Anatomy and Physiology - LLU School of Medicine Embryology - La Sierra University Biblical languages - Pacific Union College Bible doctrines - Walla Walla College

quote: I think that Adam and Eve were NOT the first humans created. In Genesis 1 God creates the whole world (and universe) and populatesit. Then in chapter 2 he creates Eden, puts his special Adam in it,and calls forth all manner of useful animals to live in eden and for Adam to have dominion over. Eve follows later. If this interpretation were viable, then there should be mentionof people other than Adam's family within genesis ... oh wait .. Kane went to the land of Nod and knew his wife!!! PS [by edit]:: This would also put a dent in YEC aging of theuniverse because there is no time span defined between creating the human race and creating Adam in eden.
