No, this is not true. Like any Darwinist, you are very dazed and confused - like a drunk who has just been hit by a bus. Only by consuming huge doses of assumptions, speculation and a chemical intoxicant can the dots of common descent be joined. But this is not science, just story-telling.

As an antidote to the brainwashing you've received, repeat this mantra one thousand times per day: "common descent is indecent".

Deary, deary me ... a mammary system is one that produces milk, so males don't have a mammary system.

Btw, how do you know so much about transvexuates or whatever they're called? No, don't tell me; I don't want to know ...

It is called the general theory of evolution and has been around for thousands of years old. Darwinism is an attempt to explain its mechanism. You evidently can't tell the difference between science and superstitious folklore.

If I was your science teacher at school I would have told you to get out of my class and study knitting instead.

A modern fish heart is different to that of an ancient fish? How do you know that? Oh wait ... let me guess ... you applied the first Law of Darwinism - baseless assumption and rank speculation?

I made a mistake about reptiles having a two-pot heart - but this was only due to gross ignorance.

Incidentally, your story about crocodiles having between three and four chambers in their hearts was a bit much to swallow. And btw, crocs aren't green, like in cartoons.

Fortunately I was educated in a Christian school with science teachers that understood that evolution is a fact, that the ONLY explanation for the life we see today and in the past is the Theory of Evolution, that life on earth began with single celled organisms was a conclusion based on the overwhelming evidence and I learned knitting from my mother when I was five or six.

But the topic is not your fantasies but rather the fact that reproduction on earth falsifies the Bible's assertion that there are only two sexes, man and woman or male and female as well as offers conclusive proof that in reality gender is not something fixed but rather pretty variable. Females can become males and there are even critters that are neither male or female as well as many examples where the living thing is both male and female.

Once again, reality shows that the Bible is simply factually wrong.

Oh really now. So if a human isn't producing milk, then he/she does not have a mammary system? How very interesting!

For the vast majority of her life, every single female human is not producing milk. So female humans do not have mammary systems? How very interesting! So how can you account for the vast fortune amassed by Playboy?

All humans possess the genes for the mammary system, males and females both. During gestation, all humans grow the tissue for the mammary system, males and females both. During puberty (of which of course you are ignorant), hormones cause the mammary tissues of females to develop into secondary sex traits, but not the mammary tissues of the males. But it isn't until after having given birth that those mammary tissues get the hormones needed for actual lactation.

Dredge, that is all basic biology. Very basic biology. Of which you are abysmally ignorant.

So then, Dredge, why are you so abysmally ignorant of those things that most normals know? Because your false religion demands that you remain ignorant. Because your false religion's greatest fear is knowledge. Because the only way that your false religion can keep you imprisoned is through ignorance.

And OBTW, your religion is not necessarily Christianity itself. Rather, Christian doctrine would identify your religion as Satanic, since it has you worshipping the Prince of Lies. But then that's your problem, not mine.

They are called "transsexuals". It is common knowledge. For example, the tenets of Christianity are common knowledge, so I do not need to be a Christian in order to point out how you and other creationists violate Christian doctrine on a regular basis.

Or to quote George Takei (from his appearance on "The Big Bang Theory"), "I read!"

One does not need to be an actual transsexual to know what a transsexual is. One does not need to be an actual female to know what a female is. Are you trying to imply that in order to know about females you need to be female yourself?

But your desperate resorting to a form of argumentum ad hominem ("attacking the person") tells me that you have nothing, so you are trying to bluff. You are trying to attack my own sexual identity in order to draw attention away from your lack of any argument whatsoever. Well fuck you so very much, you unspeakable asshole ... I'm divorced!

I guess it's confession time. I just now passed retirement age and I've signed onto the local Oster LifeLongLearning Institute (OLLI) program, though with limited access because I'm still working. With no previous background (the only cards I ever played with had 80 columns and you never wanted them to be shuffled), I've been learning about poker. One of the things about poker is the other players' tells. Your tell there is to go full blown bullshit. Which you have done.

Many fish change from one sex to another including Clown fish, Moray Eels & Wrasses. Other sea critters are Hermaphrodites with both male and female features. Some are both sexes at the same time, others have both traits and switch between being male or female. At least one species even self fertilizes.

In other critters sex is determined by environmental conditions such as temperatures in the nest.

Then there are also critters that are neither male or female and as a species have three distinct genders.

A mammary system is one that is capable of producing milk. Therefore a male human doesn't have a mammary system.

It is evident from these comments that you have made an unreasonable extrapolation and thereby arrived at a wrong conclusion - the same faulty process that leads people to believe that bugs can evolve into humans.

Your words are like rocks hurled at my fragile, egg-shell mind.
