read this, and you might question if god is real..?

I don't want to offend anyone who believes in god but im just using my knowledge and evidence of science to question if God is real (I'm agnostic btw, so i'm not really sure what to believe)

okay, so well all know that women AND men have nipples, and this is because all life in the womb starts off as a woman (thus implying that women were created before men as we all follow their format..at first) -well atleast the same body parts as a woman like nipples and female productive parts..

as the baby develops it's genes decipher it's sex and if he is a male baby then he will develop the male reproductive system.

So....If Adam was created befire Eve then why do men have nipples!?

    I agree with rip van winkle on this one. But if you think Adam had nipples, you could look at it this way. God is all-knowing and he knew how we would grow in the womb. He could have given Adam nipples because he knew he would create a female partner for him who would need them. He could have created Adam and Eve too look alike so they would be comfortable with each other. I believe he takes into account the whole person, spirit, mind, and body. I also feel that it isn't important whether Adam had nipples or not, but what is important is that we know we are the same yet different and complimentary. Man and woman are indistinguishable for a while in the womb. Not that you are woman first, as ovaries are not formed and then traded for male sex organs. We are sexless, they say that we are female-like in that there are no external sex organs at that point.

    In my opinion males have nipples for a reason. There have been men that have been able to lactate to keep a baby fed when the mother cannot (i.e. died...) I believe this happens when the child is not meant to die, but there is no other way that child will be kept from starvation.

    Those are the holes where the rib was fed through. There are two because god used a push-pull technique and needed to push it out far enough to get a hand to it as he'd forgotten to invent bone clamps, an unfortunate oversight in an omnipotent being.

    Plus, until he decided to have another go and create women, god had originally designed man to procreate asexually, hence the need for nipples on what was originally going to be the mother design.

    Having already designed a penis though, he decided it was going to be easier to leave the nipples on the now future male and just redesign the vagina. This led to the unfortunate second oversight when he went and placed the clitoris before lunch and then failed to find it after returning from the pub, a problem passed on to men for the rest of history .

    So now you know why men have nipples.

    Adam and Eve is a children's bedtime story. Also, who is to say that Adam did not have nipples? And who is to say that when they did have kids, the normal progression ran true?

    Obviously, God knew how reproduction worked. Now, the people who wrote the bible may not have had access to this information, maybe becuase they were bored or maybe because they were all guys i just dont know.

    As God knew how reproduction wrote, he could have created Adam with or without nipples, but every other baby with nipples.

    I'm sorry, but I can't answer this the way you have hypothesized. I can only say that believing in the bible which is the word of God states that Adam was created in the image of God and Eve was created to give Adam a partner in life. A rib was taken from Adam to give to Eve as God created. Anything else is beyond me to explain.

    guy became into created in God's photograph. Jesus became into born of the virgin Mary, ergo having the traditional human attributes to set an occasion. If God did not create guy with nipples, what use could men be today? it is the comparable with women folk. each and each element of our bodies became into made for a particular functionality. it is like asserting that if the 1st hen became into born a pea-cock then why do they seem to be chickens? because of the fact they have been MADE to be chickens, as we've been MADE with nipples, fingernails, bellybuttons, etc. there is not any question on climate or not God is unquestionably genuine. i comprehend that he's. perchance you should learn greater in the previous you attempt to disprove some thing.

    See, the real problem I have with Adam and Eve (and ergo creationism) is that they had three children. All of which were males. That being said, not only did they commit incest (which is a sin), but they had to do it multiple times.

    Oh, and I'm also curious as to know if they had a belly-button, seeing as how it is the leftovers of the umbilical cord (which they presumably didn't have, because they weren't born out of a mothers uterus).

  • well technically, if you think about it--babies don't start out as female, they start out sexless--or all the same. besides, men have nipples because they like them sucked too ;)--haha, but in all seriousness, God designed men and women to be sexual creatures--and that's a sensitive area on men as well that they can experience pleasure from. it's just all part of the grand design :)

    There are always 2 sides of a story.

    The Bible is written by men ;-p

    If the Bible is written by women, a Goddess will create Eve and God will create Adam ;-p

  • you might as well say fish can fly cause birds have wings,

    in other words your asking the same question, which came first the chicken or the egg,?

    or which came first flight or wings?

    ...on the day you step into Eternity (and you will, no one gets out of this life alive) as you stand before God and account for yourself... when it's your turn... "ask Him" !

    Let me suggest you consider more important "things"...like where you are going to spend 'Eternity" ! (...Eternity is a long, long time to be left out in "outer darkness" because of Spiritual ignorance)
