The Evolution Test™

I might have made some mistakes or not completed my arguments for some questions, and might end up regretting this, but it is nearly 2 am and I am annoyed at them.

EVOLUTION TEST:

1.	Which evolved first, male or female? A: Neither. Many species reproduce asexually. Some animals only have male or female members (some types of lizards), some have hermaphrodites (earthworms, snails), some can transform to the other sex when no mates are available (some types of fish). Sex in humans is determined by the Y chromosome (XY is male, XX is female), while in birds it is determined by the W chromosome (ZW is female, ZZ is male.) In reptiles such as crocodiles or turtles, the temperature of the egg determines the sex of the embryo. The way sex is determined varies with species!
2.	How many millions of years elapsed between the first male and first female? A: Zero. There was no "first male" or "first female". There were asexual beings (like bacteria), some of whom developed the ability to transfer genetic material to other individuals by the transmission of a plasmid (small piece of circular DNA). The bacteria which received this plasmid ("females", if you are bent on using this system of description) subsequently acquired the ability to transfer their own material to other individuals (thereby becoming "male")
3.	List at least 9 of the false assumptions made with radioactive dating methods. A: I feel that this question is too open-ended for there to be a correct answer.
4.	Why hasn't any extinct creature re-evolved after millions of years? A: Evolution is due to random chance. The possiblities are endless. Would you be able to reorganize a sequence of trillions of letters if it got disturbed by accident? Mathematically, the possible arrangements are greater than the number of atoms in the entire universe.
5.	Which came first:
	...the eye,
	...the eyelid,
	...the eyebrow,
	...the eye sockets,
	...the eye muscles,
	...the eye lashes,
	...the tear ducts,
	...the brain's interpretation of light? A: The "brain's" interpretation of light. Plants detect light. Protists like Euglena have an "eyespot" but no brain. Planarians (flatworms) have eyespots and nerve ganglia (not big enough to be considered brains). Once the detection of light becomes a useful feature, organs to better sense light with conferred an advantage on their owner, who was lucky enough to pass on its genes to the next generation. As to the rest... Do fish have eyelashes? Do flies have eyelids?
6.	How many millions of years between each in question 5? A: The answer is inconsequential. It should rather be measured by the species which first present that trait and the species that came after it. I'll answer this question in numerical values if you can tell me exactly what interval of time elapsed between each species God created?
7.	If we all evolved from a common ancestor, why can't all the different species mate with one another and produce fertile offspring? A: The definition of a species is "a group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring, and separated from other such groups with which interbreeding does not (normally) happen". "Cousin" species can mate but produce infertile offsprings (ex. donkey and horse). Related species can mate but not produce viable offsprings. Species which are too far apart taxonomically cannot even mate.
8.	List any of the millions of creatures in just five stages of its evolution showing the progression of a new organ of any kind. When you have done this, you can collect the millions of dollars in rewards offered for proof of evolution! A: 1. Lancelet - no eyes 2. Planarian - eyespots 3. Fish - eyes 4. Dog - better vision, but cannot see colors 5. Humans - one of the most highly developed sense of vision in the animal kingdom.
9.	Why is it that the very things that would prove Evolution (transitional forms) are still missing? A: They aren't. Look at your little toes. Are they useful to you? Is every being on this planet going to look the same in millions of years? No. We are transitional forms.
10.	Explain why something as complex as human life could happen by chance, but something as simple as a coin must have a creator. (Show your math solution.) A: A coin is made of one (or two) rather unreactive elements (in the case of pennies, copper and zinc) shaped into something. By itself, the element would just take on the shape allowed by the laws of physics--a crystalline structure between the atoms. A living being is made of hundreds of elements interacting together--carbon is very reactive, it bonds to other elements, which interact differently with other elements, which in turn interact with other elements--in essence, life is a big chemical reaction. I won't try to explain it to you, though. It tends to disprove the existence of God and/or free will.
11.	Why aren't any fossils or coal or oil being formed today? A: They would be, if we let dead matter lie without being disturbed. Humans have too great an impact on the physical Earth to let slow processes happen. The floor of the untouched rainforest, though, is slowly compacting itself into what could become fossils, coal, or oil if we let it rest long enough (and by long enough I mean millions more years). Similarly: Why aren't any diamonds or gold or opals being formed today? They are but it's too slow for us to notice.
12.	List 50 vestigial or useless organs or appendages in the human body. A: It depends what you consider vestigial organs. -all of the bones in your tail -pharyngeal slits in human embryos -webbing between fingers -the muscles used to move one's ears -little toes -toes in general -toenails -the pointed bump some people have on their ears -wisdom teeth -body hair -genital hair -clitoris (no function but sexual pleasure) -moles (technically they are mutations, and you believe all mutations are bad, so they fit here) -freckles -butt cheeks ...need I go on?
13.	Why hasn't anyone collected the millions of dollars in rewards for proof of evolution? A: Why haven't you collected the trillions of dollars all of Humankind would give you in reward for proving the existence of God?
14.	If life began hundreds of millions of years ago, why is the earth still under populated? A: Things keep dying. Funny, that... On a scientific note, populations follow a logarithmic growth pattern. I am assuming you are talking about humans here, because bacteria are all over the surface of the Earth, plants also, and ants too--but they have reached an equilibrium in their population. Humans have passed the slow stage of growth and are now in the population explosion phase. Eventually, we will reach carrying capacity.
15.	Why hasn't evolution duplicated all species on all continents? A: Actually, if you look closely at species on the Australian continent and all other continents, you'll notice that they are remarkably similar in shape and function--while being completely different (mammals in Australia tend to be marsupials, other continents have mostly eutherian mammals). The other continents haven't been separated long enough to diversify to that point.
