Iam willing to accept and consider all ideas, thoughts and comments. I find the older I get, the less I know. All education aside, there is always something I can learn.

I am interested in everyones ideas, thoughts and comments, and am willing to consider them all.. As I grow older, the more I realize, the less I know.

How exactly does this prove the theory of evolution? Most of these abnormalities were caused by external agents such as a virus, bacteria, or parasite, failure of complete cell division in the womb, or just choosing to not cut your nails and therefore are not genetic and would not be passed on. The giantism, and (perhaps)the jaw disorder and eye droop are genetically caused but are not advantageous mutations and so have never become common to the population. (Giantism may seem advantageous but it has some severe health problems.) So please let us not turn every article into a forum for our own religious or anti-religious feelings. I have a biology degree and HAVE studied evolutionary biology claims, intelligent design claims, and creationist claims and I know enough to say that it is an issue that cannot be adequately covered in the comments section of articles. I also know many respected scientists who have very different opinions on the matter. So both sides please save your comments for actual face-to-face conversations.

No Brasil assim como em todos os pa??ses, temos registros de altera????es gen??ticas em seres humanos, seria interessante divulgar a popula????o mundial todas as formas de "muta????es", se ?? que esse termo ?? correto, para que n??o fique registrada como uma hist??ria que algu??m viu e fez coment??rios.

How do you think this proves the theory of evolution? Most of these are caused by an external agent, such as a virus, bacteria or parasite, failure of complete cell division in the womb or just choosing to never cut your nails, and are not genetically caused and therefore would not be passed on. The giantism and the Bell's Palsy are genetically related but are not advantageous mutations and have therefore not become the norm in the general population. (Giantism may seem advantageous but has a lot of severe health problems.) Please make sure you understand what you are talking about and please let's not turn every article into a religious or anti-religious forum (this goes for both sides.) I have a biology degree and HAVE studied evolutionary biology, intelligent design and creationist claims. I know enough to say that this issue cannot be adequately covered in the comments section of articles, and can also say that many respected scientists have varying views. So both sides please stop throwing out your one liners and save it for a face-to-face conversation.

ya thats really messed up

Are you ready to leave the Norm behind? It takes Guts To Leave The Ruts. We are seeking Big Thinkers: http://www.BelieveItAndProsper.com CEO LEVEL INCOME

how ignorant you are mnmanariesram..... to think that man has nothing to do with deformity in creation. Man claims to want all the power at their fingertips, but when something goes wrong, they blame God. Typical Human, to pass the buck, and not own up to our own mistakes. Puhleeze.

thats asome

I'm curious as to what would make a horn grow out of your head? no less at such a late age in her life?

I kind of understand how the person with 2 heads must have felt. I myself was born with 2 penises. Luckily, for me, they were joined at the end so that I ended up with what looks like 1 *** of enormous length. God works in mysterious ways indeed.......Ed

The drooping lid in picture 7 is not caused by Bell's Palsy. Facial nerve paralysis results in the inabilty to close the eyelid because the orbicularis occuli muscle is a sphincter muscle and is innervated by the temporal branch of the facial nerve. The sympathetic nerve innervation to the levator muscle of the eyelid is responsible for elevation of the eyelid.
