I believe in The Big Bang Theory.
I believe God spoke and BANG! it happened.

I believe we had a common ancestor.

What was the natural enemy of the first cell to ever exist?

Perhaps, future genetic engineers will be able to create a 12-fingered pianist without unwanted side effects.Genetically engineered humans crosses so many moral boundaries – I'm glad I won't live to see it.

The fact that this did not happen suggests that there are genetic constraints involved. Clifford J. Tabin of Harvard Medical School has suggested that the genes that control digit formation are structured so as to produce five basic patterns (thumbs, pinkies, etc., in the case of a human hand) "Genetic constraints". "Structured". Almost sounds like it was designed that way.

I'll bet this guy was really born with 6 fingers, but born without a brain.
Evolution is a fairy tale. This guy sounds serious!

Evolution is a fairy tale. You think scientific literature reads like a fairy tale, but Genesis doesn't.
To: RightWingAtheist
For the list?Sure. It's not really news, but it's a good article. Cranking up the ping machine ...

Anne Boleyn clearly had 6 fingers (at least on one hand) and yet successfully gave birth to Elizabeh I, so I wonder about your contention of hand-foot-genital genetic problems.
Why Elizabeth didn't inherit her mother's "abnormality" is a question for history.

"Genetic constraints" means you die before birth (or technically anytime before you reproduce with viable offspring). That's it.

I'm glad I won't live to see it. I just read that North Korea is experimenting with cloning, with the goal of cloning a human.

I've wondered the same thing about having more than two eyes. It sure would seem to give the advantage to those with eyes in the backs of their heads (like my mom!).
However, it's not just survival - it's survival in order to procreate. Not sure I would want to invite into my bed a 12-fingered-four-eyed gal!

You think scientific literature reads like a fairy tale, but Genesis doesn't. Intelligent design is on it's way. Get used to it. Science is catching up - finally!
