Theory of evolution - hen and egg

So finally started blogging in US time.. i have a broadband connection at home... as usual the connection would force me to buy a computer or laptop... It does not work for me the other way around... anyway today got an office laptop...

We had a hot discussion today in DDGians list about Evolution.. In one side people supporting eolution theory and on the other side we had believers who supported "intelligent design" ( read it Adam and Eve)...Believers, also supported partial evolution...

On tea time, me jojan, and the rest continued the discussion.. then one of us said - in future human race also may split into different races.., and in future even intercourse betweeb the different races may become impossible.. Mr. B was afraid hearing this.. He asked.. "Will hen lay egg if a male duck comes after her and do what the "male hen" does ?

We laughed and continued the discussion. Jojan said, let us stop and clear the doubt of Mr.B. He was asked whether he know that hen can lay egg without the help from male counterpart (cock) ? He was not believing...

Then we had to explain the biology behind the "egg production" in females and the need for males in "fertilisation" and the analogy in human's case..

We did a quiz with the rest of the people all 27 plus.. The answers were:
Mr.S: Then why "Poovan" is needed ? ( if female can do all the things herself)
Mr.Su: I am not sure
Mr.Sa: Ayyo... ( he had lot of doubts.. we had to explain why male hen is needed)
Mr.D: How can she ?

and Mr.Sa was concerned whether we can make omelettes if male hen was not in picture ?

Let me correct - intercourse between different species is possible. But will not be productive.
