ROMANSH: I don't know about you...Mummy gave me only one cell, I don't recall seeing a cell from Daddy.
> That cell took potatoes and veggies then grew and split many times.

And I was also told that all my genes (those are the parts of my cells that control what I look like and how I have developed) were passed on to me by Mummy and Daddy and not by potatoes and veggies. But I have seen a rugby player with a cauliflower ear, so you may be right.-I'm actually insulted by the glib silliness. We are supposed to be solvng the complexities of reality here. Going from fertilized egg to trillions of differentiated cells that compose a human baby is hardly something that can be seen as a result of a chance Darwinian mechanism. But then most atheists I know from reading are rather superficial thinkers. The result was my anti-Dawkins book.
