Which came first; the mouth, ears, or eyes in the evolutionary process?

Question

Or did they all pop up at the same time?

Jerry,
I see..you really don't have clue. Do you?

Loathe,
mmmm...OK.

Dave,
Sounds real GOOD....to the CARNAL mind.

gym,
That's what moust atheists believe.

arfield,
YOU would be RIGHT!

yaabro,
i can only ask one question at a time.

zero,
YOU think I'm making a statement?

tiktaa,
That would be the atheist answer...

empathhy,
That's another atheist theory. that's the "Pop Theory".

jp,
ya think?

eleven,
Answers don't depend on definitions. Unless of course, you're an atheist.

driven,
Thaanks sweety. I DO give God the glory already.

peter,
One flaw in your logic.
God did, wheter we "believe" it or not. HE STILL DID IT.

AFRO,
YOU would SAY that.

caveman,
Cool!

regin,
Ignorance is NOT knowing something. In this case NOT knowing God. knowwahtimean?

beatty,
Mysentiments exactly!

thebognut,
So you know a little bit about God's creation. OK?

Answer 1

The eye is complicated, I for one do not accept evolution. So all at the same time, when God created us.

Answer 2

Mouth. Organisms need to eat. Simple cells can surround and encase food. Multicell organisms developed an opening through which food could pass to be digested inside the organism.

Light sensitivity and pressure sensitivity (eyes and ears) developed later and separately. Some organisms only have one or the other, even today. This gets into a question of how you define an eye or an ear.

This is, of course, unless you believe that god magicked them all into existence at the same time. Still, if that is your belief, one has to ask why we have a blind spot in our eyes? An intelligent designer could have connected the nerves differently so that the optic nerve would not end up going through the retina and creating a blind spot. It would be as if your monitor cable came throught the monitor from the back and plugged into a connector in the middle of the front of the monitor. It's completely explicable if eyes evolved but it's not a very intelligent design.

Answer 3

Mouth was first, eyes, and then ears.

Your ignorance is amusing though. Keep your denial up.

Mouth can be observed in about all animal creatures. For some the mouth and anus are the same thing. Sea anemones are like that.

Eyes would be an photosensitive cells to me. Many small creatures have sensitivity to lights. But for example there are simple eyes in shrimp and worms have no eyes but are sensitive to lights.

Currently it is thought that ears evolved from breathing tubes, as studied by 370 million year old fish fossils.

Answer 4

All three have multiple evolutions. The oral orrifice was first, ears likely second, eyes likely third.

However, there are five known evolutionary pathways that developed eyes. Eyes are so useful that they didn't just arise once and then every eye-critter evolved from that source. There were five independant evolutions of an eye structure.

---------------

No, I don't think. I know. I've seen the genomic comparisons of genes involved in eye formation. It is very blatently clear that eyes had five seperate evolutionary origins, and that these 'lineages' continue to this day. There is some evidence for a sixth but I've yet to see the genomic comparisons myself, so... the jury's out on that one as far as I'm concerned.

Not one pathway, as you would expect if all eyes were designed by the same designer. Not independant pathways for each eye-bearing creature as one might expect by a designer who prided himself on uniqueness.

The eye isn't support for Creationism... it's evidence against it.

Answer 5

Depends - if you beleive in God, then they all popped into existence at once...

Id have to say that a rudimentary eye that can recognize light and shape would have a higher function than a rudimentary ear or mouth. So, Id have to guess the eye. However, it did not evolve into existence as we now know the eye - it would have been litle more than photo sensitive cells at that time.


And you thought you had me fooled....

Answer 6

Depends on your definitions of each.

Why do answers depend on definitions? Because it's difficult to tell what exactly you are asking without them. Do eyespots count? Do any hairs that sense movement in the air count as ears? Regardless, I would say that any organism would require some way of nutrition consumption, so I'll go with mouth.

Answer 7

Popped up? Wow and they say believing in God is crazy!

Answer 8

My first organ was there to impregnate other cells with my DNA I suppose. It's not my biggest limb anymore, but I still have it, and it still works fine.

Answer 9

Ask God in the day you stand before Him.

Answer 10

gee, not hard to see which side of the debate you're on!

i would say the one shrouded in ignorance!
