Wow, first you have frogs changing sex to reproduce. Now you have female sharks fertilizing themselves without a male. What's next? Gay women getting pregnant without the help of men?

Is the evolution before our eyes?

No, it's science discovering something they didn't know before our eyes.

Happens everyday.

Parthenogenesis is quite a well-known mechanism in some species - the key point point of this discovery is the fact that it was a cartilagenous fish involved, which is new to us.

Well, that's basically what science is about. Discovering things WE didn't know.

The they in that sentence implies that some smug bastard is sitting somewhere saying "hah, I already knew that. What took them so long?".

You got all of that from just that one sentence? When is a "they" just a "they"?

When it's not a "we"?

Ok, lets end it there.

Wow.

The "they" refers to "them there" scientists.

It's a profession that I am not a member of, hence the exclusive connotation.

Heh. I got that much. You're not exactly a scientist.

I think you're a "we."

Yeah, God is making miracles every day. Even our normal sexual reproduction between male and female is God's miracle, just one taken for granted since it's occurring so often. This less often occuring asexual reproduction (the thread-title by the way contains a major mistake) is of course also God's miracle.

God be praised.

That reminds me of one of my favourite bits:

"But I'll tell you this. Where's this idea that childbirth is a miracle came from. Ha, I missed that f*****g meeting, okay? "It's a miracle, childbirth is a miracle." No it's not. No more than a miracle than eating food and a turd coming out of your ass. It's a chemical reaction, that's all it f*****g is. If, you wanna know what a miracle is: raisin' a kid that doesn't talk in a movie theatre. Okay, there, there, there is a goddam miracle. It's not a miracle if every nine months any yin yang in the world can drop a litter of these mewling cabbages on our planet. And just in case you haven't seen the single mom statistics lately, the miracle is spreading like wild-fire. "Hallelujah!" Trailer parks and council flats all over the world just filling up with little miracles. Thunk, thunk, thunk, like frogs laying eggs. "Thunk, look at all my little miracles, thunk, filling up my trailer like a sardine can. Thunk. You know what would be a real miracle, if I could remember your daddy's name, aargh, thunk. I guess I'll have to call you Lorry Driver Junior. Thunk. That's all I remember about your daddy was his fuzzy little pot-belly riding on top of me shooting his caffeine ridden semen into my belly to produce my little water-headed miracle baby, urgh. There's your brother, Pizza Delivery Boy Junior."

Considering that some actually think that's a good idea, we are looking at a possible scenario where men may become extinct.

How do we stop this from happening?

Think about it, man! Every woman left is a lesbian feminazi who will not have sex with any man under any circumstance. Every parthenogenetic child born in the future will be female. How do your stop your gender from going the way of the Dodo?

The answer is rape.

No longer wrong, but a survival imperative.

As long as there are men like me around and a little TAG spray, we'll remain in demand!!!

Amen brother!

All good things in the world are of course God's miracles. All the bad things must be the devil. Hallelujah!
