If different species from the same genus can't produce viable offspring, how can species from completely different orders do so?
WTH is this guy thinking? Last edited by AngusJS; 12-02-13 at 07:06 PM. |

I saw an interview on a radio show with dr Neil Degrasse Tyson, a world famous astrophysicist, and director of the Hayden Planetarium in NYC.
When asked about why we seem to be above animals by the hosts he said this. I hope I can convey it right, it may get long. He said, we are only a slight percentage of DNA off from our closest relatives, say a chimpanzee. We as humans see all animals the same, even though a catfish, may be vastly smarter than a cod, we do not see that because they are so far below us. A chimp can do what most human toddlers can do. Now imagine a being who is a slight DNA percentage ahead of us, as we are above apes/chimps, these beings will be wheeling Stephen Hawking forward, and marveling about how it can do astrophysics calculations in its head, like this beings little kid. In other words, human intelligence is not the standard. We are not the top dogs. the law of probability says so. For interview look up Opie and Anthony, Neil Degrasse Tyson on you tube, and click on the latest dated one. It is there, and he explains it so much better than me. (edit also check out Dr. Michio Kakus books about the types of civilizations type I type II etc, we are currently a type one, and very much barely.) We barely got simple fusion under control. We are not hot stuff, in the grand scheme of things, we are nothing.

Even in the 25th century we are still nothing in the grand scheme, even the epicness of Jean Luc Picard is nothing compared to the vastness of life in this universe, we are a type 1 people, most advanced civs would consider us not noteworthy.
If you hate american exceptionalism, then you will love my views on human exceptionalism. ;P

Are you refuting it out of your scientific knowledge, or because apes doing it to pigs disgusts you?
If it's the second option, I don't blame you ![]() Anyway, I'm going to tell this to all my friends. Back in a bit ![]()

From my limited understanding of genetics. From what little I understand it would be impossible for a primates sperm to fertilize a pigs egg cell or the other way around, hell, the sperm shouldn't even see the egg as a viable target and if injected into it nothing of any consequence would happen. But as was said by Mayers, the person who put up the hypothesis has every opportunity to run experiments and report his findings to peer reviewed papers where his findings can be tested.
