How can traits be passed? Hebrews have circumcised their children for thousands of years and you don't see one being born circumcised do ya?

Homeschooled right? I'm still getting the hang of this... We get these at the University, only we used to call them IIT graduates. Please don't enter a math or science field, I never want to meet you in person.
Of course you don't, God makes sure they keep growing back in the womb. Now that he's getting on a bit he can't smite the way he used to, so he gets his sadism kick from babies having their genitals mutilated.
Cause its not a genetic change. That is that retard Lysenko's science.
If you "killed" children with a foreskin you would eventually somewhere get circumcised children...
That is evolution. Circumcision does not give you a genetic fitness bonus...
Actually, there are some males that are born without a foreskin, but that is neither here nor there. Mutilation isn't congenital.
Tonsils are routinely removed for medical reasons, but healthy ones stay.
"How can traits be passed?"
I'm assuming everyone in his family has a different hair colour, eye colour, ethnicity and no one bears any resemblence what-so-ever to any other family member?
Genital mutilation does NOT equal genetic mutation.
But I can understand how a fundie fucktard might confuse the two, what with them having the same initials and all.
Well for starters, it's not genetic, it's done with surgery. Two, it's also not optimal for health, takes away from sexual pleasure for both people and is rather pretty stupid for someone as powerful as your god to order in the first place.
Esjeur: Actually, I understand that at first, only the very tip of the foreskin was cut away; only the very tip of the glans would be exposed, if that. Full-scale circumcision didn't appear until around the time of Hellenization; too many young Hebrew men were reconstructing their foreskin tips in order to not appear "blemished" in gymnasia. If the entire foreskin was cut away, there was no way to accomplish any sort of reconstruction.
(I wonder if you could call total circumcision a vestige of ancient Jewish fundamentalists...As in, maintaining an innovation for the purpose of maintaining a static past? 2nd century B.C.E. Jewish analog of Darby's dispensations, or something?)
How can traits be passed?
Simple answer: they can't. Almost nothing done to a person during their life will affect their eggs or sperm. In fact, a girl is born with the DNA in her eggs already established in the fetus. Nothing except the rare intervention of outside forces such as viruses or radiation in the ovary can change it.
That's why Lamarckism is wrong.
Ah... Lamarck.
You know, epigenetics suggest that he wasn't completely wrong: the traits, or rather, tendencies, passed on aren't anything as obvious as, say a longer neck or pre-emptive circumcision, but it seems some form of inheritance does happen...
If, for some reason, to continue the species males needed to not have foreskin, they'd eventually be born without it.
Presenter of TV's "Man Vs, Food" Adam Richman was born in a Jewish family, yet he eats Pork and Shellfish (boy, does he eat it!).
Your call, retard who would be called a 'Dweeb' by "MLP:FiM"'s resident griffin Gilda.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
