I'd like to know what's the point in having different blood types instead of just everyone having the same blood type. I'm interested in the answers from both evolution and creation point of view.

This is a serious question and I hope I can make myself clear.
When people state their ethnicity, I understand if they say "I'm 1/2 " this or I'm "1/4" this.

a)when does this get to be silly (meaning statistically or scientifically irrelevant) in your opinion, at 1/8th? 1/16 ?

b) Must it be an even number? What combinations are possible? Can someone say they are 1/3 or 1/5 or whatever or is this sort of meaningless because you have to go back too many generations?


Sorry if this doesn't make sense. I'm very smart but math sort of makes me freak out. thanks!

So we have to do a bug collection for Biology. We have to capture bugs and then kill them before we disect them...by either suffocating them with nail polish remover or freezing them in the freezer. Erm...isn't that a little inhumane? I mean, I know they're just bugs, but its pretty horrible if you think about it. Why isn't there some kind of rule against doing it? I know it must sound stupid, but heck, I wouldn't want to die by being frozen or suffocated... ok, maybe I'm weird, but it sounds pretty cruel.
