yeah it makes sense, and honestly i have no clue what is believed to be the origins of sexual reproduction. guess i have some homework to do.
I dont know if this is correct, but here is what Wikipedia describes as Intelligent Design (as defined by the Discovery Institute):
"certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection"
Does that description allow for flaws? Yep. Does it cover everything? Nope. Do people take that description too literally? Most definitely.
The only think I can't quite wrap my mind around is how organisms went from multiplying to having reproductive organs. Actually, it could come up, but the cells still multiplied, so more and more cells would have reproductive organs, but (say it was male first) even if the female version came out, then how could they have evolved to be used with each other. I see it as being completely separate. Seems very odd that both mutations end up becoming part of the same process
Does what I wrote make sense? I mean, how many times did the organs fail to work before it actually worked

you pretty much nailed it. the biggest problem with ID is that it attempts to use science, which always uses occam's razor to eliminate any unnecessary/supernatural explanations, thereby rendering ID a null hypothesis.That sounds about right, but its still more of an opinion than a theory. They only proof they can put forth is what is written in the bible. Saying that something has to be supernatural because we can't explain it is a poor way to consider anything. That is also the "God of the Gaps" argument, where God can only inhabit the unknown. I don't know where it originated, but Christians continually latch onto it as proof for ID and continually they lose ground because of it.

until some real, testable, and empirically verifiable evidence comes up for the existence of a designer/creator deity the people pushing ID need to keep it in church and out of science class.
there are animals that can change their sex as well..clownfish for exampleThat sounds about right, but its still more of an opinion than a theory.

Asexuality. There are still animals today that do not need a partner to produce offspring.

That was pretty good. But now I'm going to have to watch the entire series 'cause it created more questions than it could have (theoretically) answered. :ror:
I liked it as we'll but have not made the time to watch all 7 or so epesodes. Maybe this weekend ill have time and have to keep a notepad handy to jot down all the crap I'm gonna want to look up :ror:
There's actually 15 in the series. 4+ hours. Better pack a snack.
Real or not I couldn't say, but I do think it's a bit weird that we know so little about what's in the ocean...
Yeah we probably know more about the moon than the depths of the ocean, but a humanoid fish living down there? I doubt it. There is no fossil evidence for the evolution of a humanoid fish species, so why even think that it's a possibility?
