Twins carry the same DNA. They can be both male and female. Your point is moot.
But according to new research, though identical twins share very similar genes, identical they are not. The discovery opens a new understanding of why two people who hail from the same embryo can differ in phenotype, as biologists refer to a person’s physical manifestation.
-The only (greatest) story ever told was the Fall of Saturn. Like Tolkien said, there is no story without the Fall.
-The Cross is really our crossing the galactic plane, when the Sun will die.
-The real Sabbath is Saturday, because that is Saturn, the reason why the Jews honor it on Saturday.
-Satan = Saturn
-The Bible teaches in one God, yet the Christians worship 3.
-Jesus = Lord Zeus or Isis or Horus
-The apostle Paul (Saul) = Sol
-The 12 disciples/apostles = 12 signs of the zodiac
I can guarantee you that there's not one part of the Bible I'm not familiar with.
And I probably know more about it than you do.
I know more about it than most Christians.
So before you go quoting a passage of scripture to me,
I ALREADY KNOW ABOUT IT.
Since I've been beating up on science quite a bit lately I figured it's time to give our beloved scientists clothed in purple garb a bit of a respite.

So you think that twins can have a sexual relationship with one another and produce healthy offspring? NOT!
Twins' DNA is close enough, closer that mere siblings, and Adam and Eve would have shared DNA similar enough to be compared to twins mating.
The diversity of human DNA proves that the story of Adam and Eve can't be true. It's allegorical and not meant to be taken literally.

That's what I think about you hypocrites.

That's absurd. All the diversity you see today could have been coded into the firs DNA of Adam and Eve. Microbiologists today believe we all originated from a single "mitochondrial Eve" in generations past.
Now before you try and save my soul from my backslidden ways, pay very close attention here, because I don't want to have to repeat myself a hundred times. I can guarantee you that there's not one part of the Bible I'm not familiar with. And I probably know more about it than you do.

I'll likely already know about any argument you have too. That's the beauty of you Christians, you're so simple minded.
And please, Christians, for once in your simple little lives, stop believing that everything is an attack from Satan.
Well, that should do for now I suppose. My brain is starting to hurt from all the stupidity.
I never claimed "identical" DNA.
Not only that, but, since Eve was cloned from Adam's rib, they would have shared identical DNA, and their offspring would have eventually died out from lack of diversity!

In the case of identical twins, the cell division goes a little too far--the dividing cells split into two separate clusters, each one becoming a separate human being. However, since there was only one complete set of DNA to start with, there still is only one complete set to end with, just split among two human beings. They are, in every sense of the word, natural clones. Since identical twins have the same DNA, they will also look the same, except for differences due to postnatal experiences, e.g., tattoos and scars, diet, etc. www.straightdope.com...
Same thing with clones. With a horse (esp. if it is female and a trait is sex-linked) colors will be expressed differently. In female cells, there are 2 X-chromosomes. One of them shuts off, because it is not needed if there is another. Therefore, there will be some areas on a horse that express one X-chromosome (the brown) and another area that expresses the other X-chromosome (the white).

Cloning is the creation of an organism that is an exact genetic copy of another. This means that every single bit of DNA is the same between the two! You might not believe it, but there are human clones among us right now. They weren't made in a lab, though: they're identical twins, created naturally. Below, we'll see how natural identical twins relate to modern cloning technologies.

In nature, twins occur just after fertilization of an egg cell by a sperm cell. In rare cases, when the resulting fertilized egg, called a zygote, tries to divide into a two-celled embryo, the two cells separate. Each cell continues dividing on its own, ultimately developing into a separate individual within the mother. Since the two cells came from the same zygote, the resulting individuals are genetically identical.
