With the recent thread on why we shouldn't believe in evolution, I thought it best to get to the heart of the matter and discuss why we shouldn't believe in erections.
Ok then, given that there is no such thing as evolution, how could there possibly be such a thing as an erection?
If we came from a cell how is it possible for us get an erection? Any doctor can tell you that there are many components that make up the penis, so for us to be able to see all of the parts of the penis it must have come together at one exact time. Then all of the sudden we went from not having sex to having sex? Surely it's much more likely that women simply lay eggs and bury them in the sand and reproduction takes place asexually.
@Chumly,
Boy, you're hittin' close to home with that one, Chum. I mean, I
want to believe in the possibility of an erection, I really do. I think there must be some empirical evidence for it somewhere.
@Lustig Andrei,
Many probably need an Erector Set.
I would like to add that my wife is particularly adept at mensuration and thus has my measure at hand.

If you are a creationist you should believe yours came into fruition at full bore, which would not be a very sizable outcome, given your uncertainties.
@Chumly,
I believe that if you take the matter in hand and face the hard facts, you'll find that over the course of milenia there have been, not one, but several erections, perhaps several dozen even. But, ontologically, what does it all mean?
Perhaps some test may be devised.
Impossible for evolution, but tantalizing for erections.
@Lustig Andrei,
It means that ontogeny does not recapitulate phylogeny.
(That sentence sticks in my mind from back in school, maybe my genetics class, but more likely way before that, i.e., a million years ago now.)
