I honestly would've thought that an orifice to release waste products came first, but I'm not an evo-devo-nist.
Yeah, the first thing the embryo of vertebrates folds into is a torus whose hole will become the digestive system. Reproductive organs come way later.
So very early in our development we’re just an asshole. Some people apparently never make it past this stage.
Not to mention that animals with reproductive systems but that reproduced asexually evolved long before sperm.
e.g. earthworms
Yeah it feels like a weird way to say that humans still have vestigial signs of a cloaca. It's understood that evolutionary ancestors did, so humans' ancestors would need to have separated the functions during their evolution... I guess the news is that there is still genetic evidence even today.
Alternatively, creationists can take this as a sign a creator considers butt stuff to be natural sex also 👍
i think the creationist response is that humans were always exactly like this and any evidence pointing to the contrary is put there by god to test us
… but also worth a try - it’s not like they actually think about things
God doesn't make mistakes 😇🙏 that's why butt stuff 🍑🤛💦 feels so good 🥴😩💯
very much appreciating your 🤛
That's what he said, too.
Creationist here. I think the world was created by people, who told each other stories until their stories formed a world, and then the people lived in the world. They invented the idea of humanity by which to know themselves, and that's where human beings come from.
so yeah i'm going to need you and everyone you know to make up stories about the impressive girth of my dick, thanks.
