Male frog becomes female!
« on: March 03, 2010, 11:43:02 AM »
Gender Bending Frogs
by Mike Krumboltz

excerpted from http://buzz.yahoo.com


When exposed to weed-killer chemicals, some male frogs develop female reproductive systems and the ability to lay eggs. Huh? The bizarre discovery was recently highlighted in a buzzy article from the Washington Post. In a study published on Monday, scientists concluded that the herbicide known as atrazine ("one of the most common man-made chemicals found in U.S. waters") can cause male frogs to become "so completely female that they can mate and lay viable eggs."

The study comes out of the University of California at Berkeley and has the potential to stir up the debate over what qualifies as a safe chemical. The lead researcher, Tyrone Hayes, says that atrazine "causes hormone havoc" by converting testosterone into estrogen.

Not just in frogs but also in fish species. It has been studied that in case of environmental stressors that resulted in decreased males and an increased female population, females will produce gametes--leading to the formation of male sexual phenotype.

A species-adaptive trait.

Highly unlikely for humans since we are the highest level of organismal development. The perfect species is Man. The echelon and perfect example of eurkaryotic living organism; where our sexual maturity latency is higher than that of the simplified eurkaryotic species (as liken to frogs) who develop sexual maturity in aquatic environments.

Humans develop sexual phenotype and genotype intrauterine. And is secured through the perfection of Mitosis/Meiosis I&II.

We were designed in His Image.

We are truly the perfect example of an automaton. :)

Man is the only species that defies natural law. In every single aspect.

When natural resources decrease (as in food products), species numbers will fall.

Man defies this by utilizing widepsread agrarian methods and herding of animals to potentiate resources and utilizes global trade to provide food resources to regions that are geographically limited.

Animals die to the pathogens of bacterial infection when they are weak; following Darwinian Law of the weak dying and making room for the strong.

Man defies this by implementation of medicine. Those who normally would have died without the advent of medical science are living.

Man is the only species that has no natural predator and competitor. We outcompete ever single species of animal in this earth.

And we utilize even bacteria and viruses to implement medical breakthroughs for the betterment of the entire species (aka ~ lysogeny).

Why are we able to do this?
Simple.

Man is made in the Image of God.
We can create as the creator.
For we are in essence a manifestation of The Creator of the Worlds.

Good point. Brod. Felix.

Homosexuality is actually a genetic predisposition for genetic annihilation.

Homosexuality defies natural proliferation of species; and its concordance is related to species deviation.

However, in man, we do not worry of species deviation, since we have now produced man-made fertilization methods to continue the species (invitro fertilization).

There is no such thing as homosexeual (same-sex) proliferation in the natural world.

It is a proclivity of mankind.

But humans are also similar to the virus. Look for the definition of a virus and one can see it also describes us humans...  ??? :-[
