Cite common biological knowledge for that time period, be specific, give links to real sources, not talk-origins.
But what did Darwin say? You are the self proclaimed Darwin expert. Why dont you say what Darwin did say then? Did he say nothing about it something about what was it? Surely you can at least say whether he had any statements on this topic
This is a very common game played by the evos.., and no dont answer that as some evasive tactic, and its nice to hear that you are laughing. I guess that makes your case as well as anything else for you LOLOL ;)

"Cite common biological knowledge for that time period, be specific, give links to real sources, not talk-origins."
The cell theory came out in the 1830's. It said that all organisms are composed of cells. Cells were known to be microscopic in size. It doesn't take much thinking to realize that if cells are microscopic, and we are many, many magnitudes larger, that we must be composed of millions/trillions of cells. Blood cells and sperm cells had been observed in the 1600's. That alone shows that people did not think we were made of one cell.

He owned a microscope and did work with cells. He used it to compare the structure of the cells of insectivorous plants and animal cells, which he included in his book Insectivorous Plants (1875). His (incorrect) theory of inheritance, pan-genesis, stated that every cell of the body would send off particulate *gemmules* that would reach the egg or sperm and thus contribute to heredity.

In short, he believed the body was made of innumerable cells.

What? Our providing evidence to back up our claims?
Is there ANY silly anti-evo claim you won't hitch your wagon to?
