False Dichotomy: natural selection examples and science-based explanations
Humans like to try to solve difficult problems with binary classification. Often, this takes the form of a false dichotomy: “If you have no scientific evidence, then God is responsible.” (This leaves out the possibility that a scientific explanation does exist, or will one day be found.)
Far from being “intelligently designed,” anatomy reveals how creatures are cobbled together, sometimes even jury-rigged, exactly as predicted by blind Darwinian natural selection. A few examples:
- Humans (and other animals) have more miscarriages than live births.
- The retina of the human eye is “installed” backwards.
- The laryngeal nerve takes a ridiculous roundabout loop to get from the larynx to the brain.
- Human males have nipples
- In human males, the urethra passes through the prostate. gland—probably the last place an intelligent designer would route it.
