Re: Difficult to resolve
A host of organisms from a certain population had to basically devolve from asexual reproduction but had to now evolve both a male and a female, virtually simultaneously, with all of their sexual organs intact just to proliferate sexual reproduction, much less, to have the population survive. That's inconcievable!
If it is inconcievable, why did you waste time writing that post to concieve it?
lets analise your logic
1. you declare (without proof) that the only way it could have happened was some terribly akward combination of improbable events.
2. you note the fact that this combination of events is so improbable as to be inconcievable (I agree with that much).
3. finally you coclude that it could not have happened (conviniently forgetting the fact that it might have happened in a way different from the one described by you)
Do you really expect that kind of argument to take flight around here?
You can call that an argument of incredulity, but I call it an argument from sensibility.
I would call it an strawman
