I think you should check out his link. He's got us.
"You got us dead to rights. Your link
http://www.biology.arizona.edu/cell_bio/tutorials/cells/cells3.html
says right there in black and white that Darwin believed the body was made up of only one cell.
Or certainly not more than "more than one."
EXACTLY.
But NOW we know that Darwin was wrong, and NOW we know that the body was made up of TRILLIONS of cells.
You guys are just too easy, and I'm only a country bumpkin.
That's two things you are right about. Amazing.
The question is whether you did.
You have cited this link as showing that Darwin thought a human body to be made from a single cell.
http://www.biology.arizona.edu/cell_bio/tutorials/cells/cells3.html.
Nothing there says that. Never mind that, if it did say that, it would be wrong. It is a very sketchy outline of some major events in our understanding of cells. Darwin is not mentioned. Nothing supports the assertion that anyone at all thought large organisms were unicellular.
(Can Rev. Moon be far behind?)
Well no, that wont convince you. I doubt anything will. But really, if you want to take part here, please learn the simplest facts. Like, for instance, the century in which 1859 fell.
REFUTE, my links below and give me an excerpt with link. This is a challenge. Don't change the subject this time.
Im not the one whos been changing the subject. Im the one whos been posting the questions youve ignored.
Darwin convinced scientists to believe his theory based on antiquated information,
Substantiate that. Your link doesnt.
.at that time, like we only have one cell, when we really have trillions, and when there are new discoveries, evo scientists just change the theories. PROOF of what Darwin once thought:
http://www.biology.arizona.edu/cell_bio/tutorials/cells/cells3.html - shows that they thought there was only one or a few cells
You know, Id really like to post the whole page here but I dont want to get JR in trouble for a copyright violation. I will confine my answer to this: The page in no way supports any of your contentions. In fact, Darwins name doesnt appear on it anywhere!
But NOW we know that the human body is made up trillions of cells.
http://websekolah.bharian.com.my/F1Sci/june15.html
So what? As I posted before, the Theory of Evolution does not stand or fall on the number of cells in the human body. Where do you get this stuff?
Is science EXCITING, though?? Science is ALWAYS learning something new(except for those stuck in the 18th century).
Or the 1st.
One cell! I don't need no trillions of cells. One will do very nicely. My granddaddy weren't no multi-cellular organism.
What Darwin knew....
Five evos against one IDer just to make it fair:
Dear Yahoo!: My 7th-grade class wants to know approximately how many cells make up the human body. David
Aurora, Colorado
Dear David: That's a very good question, and we applaud your class for its inquisitiveness. We knew there were a lot of cells in the human body, but we were hard pressed to put an actual number on it. It seemed like a fairly straightforward query, so we tried a straightforward approach and typed "number cells human body." Our results were numerous and informative, but after flipping through them, we learned there really is no consensus on the answer.
Some sources told us that the average adult human body is made up of "50 million million" (50 trillion) cells, while others put the figure closer to 10 trillion. Science NetLinks, a resource for science teachers, stated that there are approximately "ten to the 14th power" (that's 100 trillion) cells in the human body.

But alas, here's what poor ole Darwin thought:
The Cell Theory
When Schleiden and Schwann proposed the cell theory in 1838, cell biology research was forever changed. The cell theory states that:
All life forms are made from one or more cells.
Cells only arise from pre-existing cells.
The cell is the smallest form of life.
http://www.biology.arizona.edu/cell_bio/tutorials/cells/cells3.html - shows that they thought there was only one or a few cells.
Hey guys, remember how some of ya doubted me when I told you there were TRILLIONS of cells?
Another thing: How come there was no EUREKA! about this TRILLION cell discovery?
How come no Nobel prize, PatrickHenry?
Are the evo scientists trying to hide the truth?
Placemarker
It says life forms are made up of one or more cells. 'Life forms' includes amoebae.
Sheesh!
spe·ci·a·tion (spç'shç-â'shÉn, -sç-) n.
The evolutionary formation of new biological species, usually by the division of a single species into two or more genetically distinct ones.
In zoology, as in other branches of biology, subspecies is the rank immediately subordinate to a species. As an aside, do note that in botany a subspecies is only one of the ranks that will get a ternary name (see there), while in bacteriology, the terms subspecies and variety are usually interchangeable, see ICNB. Its one of the varieties of a species and can breed freely within the species population.
I did not give you examples of subspecies but examples of speciation. That you did not know the difference is the fault of your own opinion.
So where's the proof that this can happen?
You received it. At least 10 examples.
And please, no more games. It's a simple question, and it is the CORE of evolution. No game and you are wrong.
Games only make ME look good, and you don't REALLY want to do that, do you? :)
I don't play games but if you think someone could make you look good you might want to reread the posts. You are a legend in your own mind, fortunately that as far as it goes.
Are you sure?
From an excellent, but strangely hidden link: When Schleiden and Schwann proposed the cell theory in 1838, cell biology research was forever changed.
Heck, they ADMIT it's only a THEORY!!!!!!!!!
You're safe, PH.
Are you sure?
"Trillions" isn't "more" when talking about government spending ...
Prime?
