You are kidding, right? If you are not kidding, can you please explain the following scenario:

It is a scientific fact that for mankind to continue its existence it requires one male and one female. So, working backwards from what we know today as scientific fact, describe just a few of the steps necessary to go from where we are today to where we basically “emerged from the swamp” 16 billion years ago. Going backwards from the present, you will need to include the following at a minimum:

1. What was the evolutionary step just prior to the male having testes, a penis, a prostate, sperm, and a urethra.
2. What was the evolutionary step just prior to the male being able to attain a penile erection?
3. What was the evolutionary step just prior to the female having a vagina, fallopian tubes, ovaries, eggs, and a womb?
4. What was the evolutionary step just prior to the female having formed breasts in order to feed her babies?
5. What was the evolutionary step just prior to a male being physically and sexually attract to a female?
6. What was the evolutionary step just prior to multiple sperm being required to attack the egg so that one sperm can “get in” so it can fertilize the egg. (By the way, I think this is why males like team sports. :) )
7. What was the evolutionary step just prior to the fish-like, swimming sperm being propelled with a defined force from the male’s penis during ejaculation?

There are probably many more questions you should be able to answer, but these seven are probably enough at this point. Oh - and these seven questions would need to be answered for every form of life on earth that requires a male and female for procreation. Including strawberries.

Looking forward to your detailed, considerate, scientific, credible, logical, rational, convincing, and reasonable response.

Thanks.

A good start is for you to study phylogeny/taxonomy. After seeing how different organisms do things, it becomes easier to see how a shark clasper-type organ on a prehistoric fish could evolve into a mamalian penis.

Then take a quick look at embryology. You'll see how human, lizard, and bird embryos all have gill slits. Why would humans have gill slits?

If I had the time to earn a Ph.D. in evolutionary biology just to satisfy the blasphemous ravings of a troglodyte, I would. As it is, I have but one life to live, and that was not the route it took; then again, it doesn’t take much more than a solid high-school education to grasp the fundamental concepts of evolution and the factual support that underpins it. Apparently, your education was either not quality, or else you didn’t make it to high-school.

This ought to be good.....

Gotten any intelligent answer from the self-declared scientific elite on FR yet?
