"how can a human inherit traits from ants, elephants, giraffes or monkeys when we cannot produce offspring with them? How do those animal genes get inside humans? How do those animal genes create humans genes?
Do evolutionists know why humans don't produce children with wings? If not, then I'll explain it. Because humans don't have the genes for wings or our children would have wings! The only way humans could have the gene for wings is if they were capable of producing offspring with creatures who do have wings. That's the only way. Claiming that human genes can simply turn into bird genes because of the weather or pressure changes, or whatever has not been documented in reality anywhere. And it also throws out the fact that genes are inherited, not simply manufactured.
If traits aren't inherited but simply change, then why don't humans produce children with wings, or beaks? And why have humans always been called humans instead of a different species?"

"how can a human inherit traits from ants, elephants, giraffes or monkeys when we cannot produce offspring with them?"
We don't, we inherited traits which we have in common with other animals from ancient ancestors which we shared, not from sex with giraffes. As you may know, humans and chimps share about 96% of their DNA, but what will really put a scare into you, Carico, is that you share about 50% of your DNA with the nearest tree.
"How do those animal genes get inside humans?"
Those genes were inherited long, long ago from ancestors we shared with current lifeforms.
"How do those animal genes create humans genes?"
The genes that are specific to any one species were created by mutation in the relatively recent past.
"Do evolutionists know why humans don't produce children with wings?"
Yes, because we are humans and humans do not have wings.
"If not, then I'll explain it. Because humans don't have the genes for wings or our children would have wings!"
That is probably true. The mutations necessary for the developmenmt of wings never occured. Or, even if they did, it was not an advantage to the survival of the species and was quickly eliminated by natural selection.
"The only way humans could have the gene for wings is if they were capable of producing offspring with creatures who do have wings. That's the only way."
No.
"Claiming that human genes can simply turn into bird genes because of the weather or pressure changes, or whatever has not been documented in reality anywhere. And it also throws out the fact that genes are inherited, not simply manufactured."
But you left out mutation and natural selection, the very processes by which evolution takes place.
"If traits aren't inherited but simply change, then why don't humans produce children with wings, or beaks? And why have humans always been called humans instead of a different species?"
Traits ARE inherited, but over long, long periods of time, some beneficial mutations happen, and those new traits get passed along too.
Human genes being changed happens all the time. We call them birth defects, since they're rarely beneficial.
If humans with wings are better, why didn't God make them? You can't argue against evolution by asking why it didn't do something better without assuming God screwed up. It's a stupid argument.
Rob Smith: Yes, Carico is a fundie legend, an absolute cornucopia of incredibly insane and stupid concepts. There's pretty much no idea, no maddeningly inane way of stringing words together, that would be too far "out there" for her to set forth in her quest to bolster the veracity of Biblical inerrancy and young-Earth creationism (YEC) and attempt to put down and argue against almost any kind of science. There are a few other posters often quoted here who are in her league, but for the last couple of months, she has been on quite an amazing binge of antiscientific insanity.

Probably because we didn't evolve from ants, elephants, giraffes, or monkeys. The animal that we came from is long friggin' gone.
To soothe my brain and the quite possibly irreparable damage done to me brain organs, I do now, quote, "fishca wanda"...,.,../,,,..
Wanda: To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people. I've known sheep who could outwit you. I've worn dresses with higher IQs, but you think you're an intellectual, don't you, ape?
Otto: Apes don't read philosophy.
Wanda: Yes they do, Otto, they just don't understand it.
I admit, I have a somewhat limited knowledge of evolution, but Jesus Christ, even I know Carico is full of shit and makes things up.
Carico, is that you share about 50% of your DNA with the nearest tree
Oooh, I dunno, in her case it's more like 90, 95%.
Can I just point out that humans are not descended from any creature with wings. This is why we do not have the genes for wings. But we do have the genes for tails. Thank you.
""how can a human inherit traits from ants, elephants, giraffes or monkeys when we cannot produce offspring with them? How do those animal genes get inside humans? How do those animal genes create humans genes?
Human's can't inhereit traits from these animals. No one evr suggested that they could. You inherit your genetic traits from your parents.

Yes, evolutionists do know why humans do not produce offspring with wings. As you say, we do not have the genes for it. As for the rest of this paragraph, I would agree with you if you werent trying to disprove evolution (and doing a piss poor job at that). By the way, what is it with fundies and the question "If evolution is true, why arent humans sprouting wings?" Because there is no "goal" or "fianl product" in evolution. The traits that are best for survival get passed down to the next generation.
If traits aren't inherited but simply change, then why don't humans produce children with wings, or beaks? And why have humans always been called humans instead of a different species?"
"
Humans have been called human because that is what people who speak English call them. People who speak French call humans humains, pepole who speak German call humans Menschen, people who speak Russian call humans ëþäè. Nothing more, nothing less.
Carico, didn't your pastor tell you that the concept of genes contradicts Genesis as surely as evil-ution does? You wouldn't want to go to judgment knowing that you had questioned the accuracy of Genesis, do you?
Ah, but Papabear, having sex with Giraffes is a time-honored tradition in my family. I remember we totally thought the Toys R Us mascot was soooo....sexy.....grrr!
Carico, please do humanity a favor and jump into a pool full of cinder blocks!
I hope she didn't reproduce or had her children taken away from her by the state. They deserve a decent education and a healthy parental figure.
We could very well have genes for wings, or antenna, or anything else. It's unlikely that they'd survive so long without being mutated beyond recognition, but it is possible. If we do, they just aren't activated.
There's some pretty exciting research going on right now into homeobox genes, or what scientists believe are sets of master genes that many different organisms share. It's not as if ant and human genomes are completely different - we are made of the same proteins, after all, and probably share at least some sets of these homeobox genes.
Then again, considering this is Carico, I've probably wasted my time.
I haven't read the other comments so I guess I'll be repeating some stuff...
It's not so much traits that are inherited between species so much as within the same species. What we do share with all other species is DNA. For example we have a number of genes (within our DNA) which can also be found in the common house fly. This doesn't mean we share the same physical traits necessarily.
...I'll ignore the middle bit, I can't be bothered.
As for your last question, the answer is 7.
Now stop using these nice people for your education and go to school.
hello didn't you peoples ever here of scientists taking the genes out of the ants and other stuff and inserting them in other living things they do this stuff all the time to create a pacific breed . so put that in your juice box and sux it
That doesn't even make sense. I can't tell which side you're on, much less what you're trying to say.
Argument from incoherence won't fly here.
FTW?
your science is uh....
I'm speechless

I'm pretty sure you could fuck an ant. The ant might not be able to feel it, though.
And yes, that was me, saying your dick is too small to properly roger an insect.
EDIT: I just read the other posts, apparently this is a chica. Oh well. I stand by my penis-denegrating insult.
Heidi will be listened to, when she inherits a brain .
If you've ever seen her Facebook page, it's obvious she's a contrarian little squit just for the sake of it. 'Ignorance is Bliss', thy name is Carico. She doesn't WANT to learn, thus proving her inferiority to we Atheists.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
