Proof of Evolution?

Cat gives birth to dog

Zhou Yun, the cat's owner, says she knew her furry friend was pregnant so she wasn't surprised when she happened upon two kittens at the beginning of the month.

On closer inspection, however, she noticed that one of the babies was dead.

'I then noticed the other kitten surprisingly looks like a dog,' Zhou, who lives in Yangshan, in eastern China's Jiangsu Province, told reporters.

Zhou, who's also the owner of a pet dog that likes to eat and sleep with its feline pal (hmm...), added: 'Quite possibly the kitty is a mixed child'.

Lai Xiaoyun, president of a local pet clinic, has sagely pointed out (after having a good look at the kitten-puppy, to be fair) that it's impossible for a cat to give birth to a dog.

He reckons Zhou's cat popped out two kittens and one died shortly after: 'So the cat went out and accidentally found a litter of newborn puppies and took one home.'

'Cats and dogs are two different species and it's impossible to have joint descendants,' he concluded.

You think evolution is a cat giving birth to a dog?

No wonder you are so confused all the time.

That's the name of the creationist game, keep them as confused as possible, confusion stops creationists thinking,
add confusion to the lack of education and you have the perfect combination.
It is in fact a money making combination.

If it turns out that the cat really gave birth to the dog, I guess you have to accept evolution. And I guess we evolutionists have to give it up. (See: Willtor's Wager)

A cat giving birth to a dog is not an example of evolution, simply evidence that commonality of design allows for hybridization...

Im not even sure what your angel is with this one. are you saying the article is true or false? cats cant give birth to dogs. If you think they can... i pity your broken mind.

 

[Fencerguy]

Mechanically, its possible....Is it likely? definitely not. But to a certain extent, the biology of a cat and a dog are not hugely different, that commonality of design does not preclude the possibility that a dog sperm could join a cat egg and subsequently implant in the cats uterus.

its impossible. no one saw the actual birth and its a story from china.

How do you know that?

Please explain it to me.

 

[Gracchus]

I am reminded of the many miracles cited by Gregory of Tours, that always seemed to happen about four counties away.

Oh come on! You know that everything you see on the internet must be true.

tell us you are joking please

Yes, it does. Dogs are no more capable of impregnating cats than humans are - their gametes (sperm and egg) are so very different that they cannot recognise each other.

If you think a dog can impregnate a cat, I strongly suggest you pay more attention in biology class.

RM + NS + time. But even that is dubious.

True

As you said, definitely not, but as for the possibility, the difference is still to vast. The dog's genes would have to mutate on the fly (or wiggle) to be viable.

and consider the implications for people / gorillas, chimps and orangs.

Is not such mutation often hailed as the mechanism of evolution? That within a single generation such a beneficial mutation could occur that would result in a new species?

I do not actually think that a dog could successfully impregnate a cat, to suggest such misses my point.... Rather than whether this story is legitimate, the thought exercise of whether or not the theory of evolution could allow such a hybridization is the bigger point here...

Evolution does not allow such hybridisation to occur. It is simply too improbable that a single dog would have all the millions of mutations required to make its sperm recognisable to a cat's egg. Evolution doesn't say one species can evolve into another, pre-existing species - it says that one species can, in the future, split into two mutually non-interbreedable species.

If your original post was meant to be a parody of evolution, you might want to be more clear in the future - given some of the crazy things people come out with here, it's entirely believable that someone would genuinely think cats can breed with dogs.

adherents of punctuated equilibrium would tend to disagree, a single generation of organisms can, given the proper amount of beneficial mutations, become a new and separate species....even in one generation.

AoS genuinely thinks Uranus bred with the earth to produce Saturn. This is mainstream by his standards.
