Interesting Fact I Thought You'd Like to Know... Sperm in All Animals Originated 600 Million Years Ago (325 hits)


A gene responsible for sperm production is so vital that its function has remained unaltered throughout evolution and is found in almost all animals, according to a new study. The results suggest the ability to produce sperm originated 600 million years ago.

The gene, called Boule, appears to be the only gene known to be exclusively required for sperm production in animals ranging from an insect to a mammal.

"Our findings also show that humans, despite how complex we are, across the evolutionary lines all the way to flies, which are very simple, still have one fundamental element that's shared... Boule," said Eugene Xu, assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.

How can this be??? God "created" the earth and all the universe only 5,000 - 10,000 years ago! These so-called smart scientists had better stop it! My great-grandmother taught us that God created us from "dirt"! And THE HOLE-Y BIBLE proves it!!! {sarcasm off}

What can those scientists say that would be what your great-greatmother told you? If great grandmother said it I say it has to be so. You can't be the wisdom on old people, eh. Ha!

What the heck was I writing last night? Even I can't understand it. I think I meant to say What can those scientists say that would beat what your great grandmother told you? If Great grand mother said it, then I'd say it was the gospel truth. You can't beat the wisdom of older people, eh. Ha!

That is what I think I meant to say. I'll try to blog earlier rather than late in the night so that I make sense.

Plus one would go straight to hell if they ever tried to do what Craig did. But, one will go to hell if they love them self any way. We all know to have self confidence like Craig demonstrates all of the time will get you in hell even quicker. lol (smile)
