unnecessary Intelligent Design question?

Nipples on men

-Nipples are especially sensitive and are a source of sexual stimuli, even for many men.

-Nipples are the result of an efficient plan of embryonic development. Human embryos contain characteristics of both sexes at first, because they all have basically the same genetic information. It is design economy. For example, in all human embryos, at first both the mullerian duct system (female) and the wolffian duct system (male) develop, because both sexes have the genetic information for these structures. Incidentally, this refutes the urban myth that human embryos "start out female."

=======================

"Berries" on the outside.

-Temperature regulation for the sperm.

-So the weaker sex can get away from the stronger sex if necessary (i.e. kick them in the "berries").

Most “poor design” arguments come from ignorance:

=======================

So many people these days are confusing biblical creationism with intelligent design. "Intelligent Design is the study of patterns in nature that are best explained as the result of intelligence" (Dr. William Dembski). That's it; it says nothing of who the creator is and how he/she/it/they did it. Intelligent Design encompasses every "creation" story, even aliens seeding life on this planet. The God of the Bible is just one possible candidate. Some creationists (like those at Answers In Genesis) don’t like the ID movement because they say it divorces the Creator from the creation.

Berries need pretty good temperature control in order for their contents to survive. It would be too hot inside the body and they would all die. This is why the berry holder changes based on external temperature and undergoes "shrinkage" in the cold and "hangage" in the heat. Its all to keep the little swimmers a nice temp.

Men have nipples because all babies are initially female. In vitro a critical hormone is released by the mother that changes the female to a male (or without it keeps the baby a female). This is true of all mammals and is actually an efficient way of doing things. There are some studies that certain diets during pregnancy can influence the gender of the baby which could be a result of a perceived need. For instance, if the pregnant woman eats a lot of meat then it might be percieved that hunting is going swimmingly which would not require more men in the family. If nuts are eaten predominantly it could be perceived as a need for hunters among the family. This would be dominated by our millions of years of evolution (not by the current condition of humans).

So you see both of your questions have a legitimate answer....... but they are both related to evolution, not creation. If humans were simply created then we would have no need for berries at all...... our offspring could just be created as well. Magically placed in the womb as an act of God without all the pesky fluid exchange. Or the stork could come with a healthy baby in tow for new parents...... why not?

Men have nipples because like the rest of the ape world we are capable of nursing young.

The Homo sapien has non functioning nipples because we have not needed to use them. However male lactation is most definitely real, and a definite possibility for young fathers.

The berries on the outside is to keep sperm at the right temperature.

ID only says that science (biology in this case) uncovers the method of the divine. Not the reasoning.

Creationism is what tries to "explain it." ID is non central, meaning that its not central to a specific religion (like deism).

"Creationism" which i am assuming is the group you meant, is central to Christianity, but is shared by other Abrahamic religions. Its trying to say that science proves God.

Further ID is a philosophy used by religious people to come to terms with science and religion. its not used to "prove" anything.

Because it is SCIENTIFICALLY proven that every embryo is developed as a female. After a certain stage the DNA coding and chromosomes determine if the fetus will develop into a male or remain a female. If it changes into a male, the genetic coding of the nipples remain, while the fetus develops "extra organs" (male parts, if you will).

Whatever God's reason for all this confusion on nipples and berries will be answered someday through science and not religion.

If you testicles are inside you will be sterile. You don't have much of a sex life or just aren't into the erotic if you don't see any enjoyment with your nipples.

Nipples on men are vestigial. All you dudes were originally chicks.

Hm... interesting... if evolution is true, why would males not have evolved to the point where we didn't have nipples already?

berries have to be temp controlled....pay attention in 9th grade biology.

If there's a Designer, he's malicious or incompetent.
