Sombreros.
Why do you say they can't be explained? There are many examples of striations and regularly spaced protrusions in insects and other species. These gears sure look neat, but are by no means the strangest evolved traits that can be found.Sombreros can be explained. Biological gears can't. There is no randomness and small changes in The genetic code required for a Sombrero to form.
You seem to be comparing apples to oranges.
Just for arguments sake, lets not just assume they are. I want to see how someone would go about "proving" it.Sombreros can be explained.
Regardless the cause, all I'm asking here is are gears designed?Why do you say they can't be explained?

ETA: Apparently the Issus gears are an overcomplicated solution to a problem that is solved differently in other species. The gears tend to break, which cripples the insect until they can be replaced by molting. And the gears are completely lost in the final molt since they then would have no chance of repair.
No. At least not by a conscious mind. I'd say they are designed by the process of evolution though.Regardless the cause, all I'm asking here is are gears designed?

Of course not. These gears are most certainly designed by man. But not the ones depicted in the OP.Interesting answer. No, gears are not designed but yet they are by evolution. Little bit of hedging there. Just so we're clear, are you saying that gears, any gears, are not designed by a conscious mind?
Ok. Prove it.Of course not. These gears are most certainly designed by man. But not the ones depicted in the OP.
Let's see your method and proof for arriving at that conclusion.
Let's suppose I agree that they can't be explained.Sombreros can be explained. Biological gears can't. There is no randomness and small changes in The genetic code required for a Sombrero to form.
You seem to be comparing apples to oranges.
Ok. Prove it.
1. that the gears you showed are designed by man
2. that the gears on the planthoppers legs aren't designed.
I don't know, If you think you do then what designed them and how do you know that?Regardless the cause, all I'm asking here is are gears designed?
Very well, but I hope this is not going to end up in silly sophistry.Ok. Prove it.
1. that the gears you showed are designed by man
2. that the gears on the planthoppers legs aren't designed.
