Did Eyelids Evolve?

Rahvin's question is perfectly reasonable.Prove god. Wrong. It is very easy, as a matter of fact. An fMRI would show the appropriate area of the brain lighting up in response to the thought.Since I don't expect you to know what an fMRI is:"Functional magnetic resonance imaging". It is a neuroimaging technique used to study activity in the brain. It shows which structures are active during particular mental operations.Now. Will you please answer Rahvin's question?

Ah. The mark of a truly rational debate. 13 question marks.Please stick to the topic.You have been asked repeatedly to discuss eyelids.No limbs. No sexual reproduction. No organs. Eyelids.

I dearly hope this means you've decided to abide by Forum Guidelines.Which would mean no more OT business about words/sexual reproduction/limbs/organs.In Message 13, you abandoned discussion of eyelids. Since you've finally decided to return the discussion to eyelids, will you please do Rahvin the courtesy of responding to his post in Message 12?

Again. Message 12.Rahvin took the trouble to carefully rebut your assertions.Please specifically address the points he made."Huh-uh" is simply not enough.

You're off to a roaring start.Since you are a new member, I would like to remind you of 3 things (tho others have mentioned them previously):1. This is a science thread. Which means, when discussing a science topic, you are obligated to provide evidence of your assertions.2. You need to stay on topic.3. It would do you a world of good to read a thread before responding. The transitional "forms" of the eyelid have been covered in detail in this thread.

You haven't seen anything yet. If you've thin skin, this isn't the place for you.I'd like to add another item to the list I posted previously:4. This isn't a chat room.Content free (Message 102, Message 105) and chatty posts are discouraged.Threads are limited to 300. You are needlessly chewing up bandwidth with your 1 and 2 sentence nonsense.I suggest you carefully consider your responses and -- since this is a science thread -- keep the Forum Guidelines in mind, particularly Rule 4: Points should be supported with evidence and/or reasoned argumentation. Address rebuttals through the introduction of additional evidence or by enlarging upon the argument. Do not repeat previous points without further elaboration. Avoid bare assertions.

Another content free post.Please address the topic.We have a thread for moderation. Message 1. You've already been warned once by a moderator. If you continue with this nonsense, I will post a complaint to the moderation thread.
