  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Why do men have nipples?

As to why you guys don't find this or that ... well ... I'll withhold answering that for obvious reasons.

Yeah, probably "because God didn't make them", right? Perhaps he was too busy making sure that everything fit together according to the theory of evolution.

Platypusses don't have nipples, but they are considered mammals. They do have specialized lactation glands, but no nipples.

Also, why don't we find an animal with feathers and nipples?

Any other mammals that don't have nipples?
I was not aware of that fact.Thanks

I just stopped by to answer the OP ... that's all ...

As to why you guys don't find this or that ... well ... I'll withhold answering that for obvious reasons.

The creationist explanation seems to be that nipples are used for other things than lactation. The evolutionists are saying that there is such strong selection for nipples within mammalian species that they are even expressed where they are not needed (e.g. in males).

It would seem to me that the creationist explanation leads to the question of why we don't see nipples in species that do not lactate.

The other example is also the other living species of monotreme, the echidna. Both have specialized hair bundles where they secrete milk, and the young lap up the milk from the hair. It's almost as if they are in a transtional state . . .

Nipples on males could be considered as erogenous zones...

Design does make more sense than random chance.

Nipples on men presents more questions than answers for the evolutionist:

Sure I did. And it was thoroughly discussed on the first couple pages of this thread.

I don't read every response in a thread, especially if it is 11 pages long. Not enough time in the day. I try to respond to the more current posts. It appears the points made in this articles have been lost on the more recent posters and so it bears repeating.
