Again, I now of no theists who ascribe such notions of acts of aliens in scientific endeavors. They may exist, I am just not aware of them.

“Because sperm production needs slightly lower temperatures than body temperature, so the testes are away from the center of the body.....a more protected area would be warmer, with less effective sperm production and loss of fertility”

A better design would to have the sperm production optimized for the body temperature and place the testes inside protected.

You are reading way too much into my rather simple minded statements. I’m defending no one. I am saying that natural selection and, ultimately survival of a species are the determinants of which mutations are carried on. The concepts of “good” or “bad” don’t enter into it. Success is measured by species survival.

Will you answer my question. If you are honest with yourself it may put you on a road to a more careful, deliberative setting……maybe pro evolution, maybe otherwise. It is very self instructive to acquaint yourself with your own research. I try to read both sides of the debate without passion or prejudice.

Anyway, if you choose not to I will understand. Not trying to give you a hard time.

Thats not what you asked. You asked why the testes were not in a more protected place.

“You asked why the testes were not in a more protected place.”

No. I did not ask anything!

I SAID that if I was the designer, I would have designed them to be internal.
