Did God give Adam nipples?

[Pesto]

When Adam was created, did he have nipples? If so, why would God have done this?

Men have no use for nipples. Their only purpose is in women as a delivery system of milk to babies.

 

[Atheuz]

for fun!

 

[WhiteMageGirl]

Creationism and the male nipples, one as useful as the other.

 

[peter22]

God created Man in His divine image. The real question is, why does God have nipples?

And foreskin

 

[Steezie]

Speaking from a biological standpoint (I am not arguing for Creationists here), nipples in men are most likely a vestigial remnant of ourselves in the womb. When we are first assembled into something roughly resembling Aquaman after being run through an X-ray machine a few million times, we are genetically and biologically female.

All of us. For a brief time, ever man on Earth was, at one time, a woman. These nipples do not disapear as we develop into men, they simply arent "hooked up" to anything and remain on us as vestigial. In the womb, nothing is "taken away". We are born with ALL the equipment and things simply shift and change to form us as we are. Things do not disapear.

 

[Pesto]

That's all well and good, but Adam wasn't born. Adam never went through the process of embryonic development.

Yes, but he Fell. The Fall is the cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems.

 

[CCGirl]

I wonder if he had a belly button?

This isn't accurate. At one point we have a tail, webbing between our toes and fingers, and several other features that are removed by selective apoptosis.

These disapear as we grow into them and they become included in other sections of flesh

 

[RealityCheck]

So.... part of the curse was for Adam to grow nipples?

heh... fundamentalist theology leads to a lot of fun and funny conclusions...

And foreskin

A foreskin is a highly useful sexual appendage. I recommend reading up on what the organ does for you.

Male nipples can fall into this catagory as well.

Eh, doubtful. Sure, they might be slightly sensitive, but so are a multitude of other spots on the body.

It lolzes me how fundies can say Adam didn't have a belly button because that would imply made him look like he was born but creating vestigial features is just fine.

 

[thewood68]

yes

Sorry but Ive never needed mine. I also hear that they have a tendancy to "snap" on occasion. Thank god I had an infection when it was a kid that required its removal. I also feel less dirty, it was a while before I found out what "smeg" really meant when I watched Red Dwarf.

Fingers and toes are the direct result of cells dying between the toes and fingers during development. The same for the tail. These cells do not move elsewhere, they are told to die by specific cell signalling.

You think so, really?

Removal of the foreskin reduces sensitivity dramatically (light touch sensitivity is reduced by a factor of four), as when the glans dries out it develops a callous. The foreskin itself also contains some of the most sensitive areas. In addition, the foreskin contains a mucous gland that keeps the glans moist and lubricated, and is useful as a disinfectant.
