Alf Bentley Posted 14 February 2013 Posted 14 February 2013 Extraordinary... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-21431678 Can you imagine the conversations at sea slug bedtime? - Him/Her 1: "Are you going to be Mummy or Daddy tonight or shall we both be both?" - Him/Her 2: "I'm sorry, darling, but my penis has fallen off and will take 24 hours to regrow. Still they do say that it's better to give than to receive..." Can I have my award for most puerile and gratuitous topic heading of the year, now?
purpleronnie Posted 14 February 2013 Posted 14 February 2013 That's reassuring, I thought I was the only one who could do that.
Zingari Posted 14 February 2013 Posted 14 February 2013 The scientists also noted that the penis was equipped with spines. it was all going so well up to that point !! Nudibranch
Rincewind Posted 14 February 2013 Posted 14 February 2013 And I suppose the great one in the sky created that creature deliberately?
Zingari Posted 14 February 2013 Posted 14 February 2013 And I suppose the great one in the sky created that creature deliberately? Rupert Murdoch ?
Rincewind Posted 14 February 2013 Posted 14 February 2013 He's given many names but I don't think Rupert Murdoch is one of them.

Beats those slugs.
Zingari Posted 14 February 2013 Posted 14 February 2013 My missus keeps a couple of spare ones in her secret drawer . i don't what makes her think i'm going to lose mine . Silly girl
Tielemans63 Posted 14 February 2013 Posted 14 February 2013 "The Japanese team observed sea slugs that they had collected from shallow coral reefs around Japan. They saw the animals mate 31 times." They're into some weird stuff those Japanese. Proper sick.

They're into some weird stuff those Japanese. Proper sick. Damn straight. During a study of mating habits by the Tokyo Metropolitan University scientists tried to separate a mating pair of earwigs. When they did this the penis broke off but the insect was still able to mate. A new study was done on earwigs in the wild.* They found that females often had bits of broken penis inside of them.

Sounds like a bit of a cock up.
Captain... Posted 14 February 2013 Posted 14 February 2013 Well that's enough wank fodder for a fortnight.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 14 February 2013 Posted 14 February 2013 And I suppose the great one in the sky created that creature deliberately? Undeniable proof of evolution.
BoneDog Posted 14 February 2013 Posted 14 February 2013 And I suppose the great one in the sky created that creature deliberately? No of course not. It, just like the rest of the complex beings all around us just appeared out of thin air. After the 'system' had magically sorted itself into some kind of order, randomly and with no purpose, this creature just poofed itself into existence out of thin air.

Strawmen, strawmen everywhere - are you considering taking up a job as a farmer per chance? Basically - huge explosion occurred (as happens when matter and anti-matter meet: they're like Steve Walsh and Steve Bull - can't get along with each other) and creates very small atoms, mass exerts a bend on space-time, causing gravity - than then can cause gravitational collapse in the case of very dense areas. They then react with each other in the fusion process at the centre of the stars that this collapse creates. Then when stars die they explode, flinging shit across the universe - this shit can get pulled into the gravitational field of another star, start bashing into other things that are orbiting this star and when too many things group together, the bend on space time exerted forces them together and forms asteroids, up to demi-planets, up to planets. It's not random at all, nor is it in much order to be frank. Nor did complex beings appear out of thin air - they're the product of 2.1bn years of evolution, from the first contained reactions (creating the first cells), to simple single cellular organisms then gradually becoming more complex over the time.

No not really it's only February and we have the rest of the year for Spherical to come up with something.

Do you really believe that ? it's fookin worse than the god explanation . No one has the capacity to understand how all life came about because it's beyond comprehension . if you think you understand how it all happened , you haven't grasped the enormity of it

But I agree its so hard to comprehend either explanation, I'm open to pretty much anything but the evidence we have leans towards evolution, but who the fook really knows?...I guess thats when faith plays a part and I've been back and forth with that.

No one has the capacity to understand how all life came about because it's beyond comprehension . if you think you understand how it all happened , you haven't grasped the enormity of it Yes - and it's not worse than the god explanation because we can observe a great deal of it and have evidence for it. The explosion is debatable, but formation of stars we can observe, we have a decent understanding of the fusion process and stellar death, we can see planets being formed and the evidence for evolution is innumerable. Far better an explanation in the eyes of the intellectually honest than the god explanation, which has no evidence at all.

Do you now subscribe to the thinking that there was something before the big bang, that the big bang didn't occur from nothing, but was rather a reaction from a collision that took place in occupied space rather than a vacuum of nothingness?

No, because there was no before the big bang. Saying something is before the big bang is like saying something is north of north. The big bang was the beginning of time, there was no before.

I’m not say that I don’t believe that creatures have “evolved†, that is patently clear , what I don’t believe is that the wonder of nature in all the world simply came from chance events involving sparks and bangs and bubbling soup and gases. Too many things need to happen simultaneously for all this to happen. Saying it’s like throwing a 1000 piece jigsaw into the air and it falling into place would a vast understatement. Just observe an embryo growing in the womb and it will go through the stages of evolution, (from simple cell through fish, reptile stages etc ) but it’s no doing so blindly, it’s following a plan. I believe that nature is somehow like this inasmuch as it gives the appearance of going through evolutionary stages, but these stages aren’t merely chance or simple chemical actions, they are following blueprints that somehow remain in natures memory (or god’s if you prefer) I think how it is all achieved is far beyond explanation or comprehension though.

Embryo growing in the womb yes, but not living creatures - these "blueprints" don't exist, evolution requires variation, which requires mutations, which are a random occurrence.
