| | Often in humans afflicted by hermaphroditism, one or both sets of organs are non-functional, and the condition is considered to be a [[birth defect]], which can be caused by abuses of [[alcohol]] or [[drugs]] during [[pregnancy]]. The abnormality in humans occurs at exceedingly rare interval; the individuals in question are generally not able to reproduce through [[sexual intercourse]]. | | Often in humans afflicted by hermaphroditism, one or both sets of organs are non-functional, and the condition is considered to be a [[birth defect]], which can be caused by abuses of [[alcohol]] or [[drugs]] during [[pregnancy]].

| − | Hermaphrodism, as stated above, is generally regarded to be caused by environmental factors. It is possible, however, that there may be a genetic link, and that hermaphrodism is sometimes just the results of an unfavourable mutation.
| + | Hermaphroditism, as stated above, can be caused by environmental factors. However there may be a genetic link. Given this, there is no [[Darwin]]ian reason for human hermaphrodites to exist, since hermaphrodism does not provide any reproductive or survival benefits. Human hermaphrodites therefore provide yet another challenge to Darwin's theories, often explained away by evolutionists as an "unfavorable" [[mutation]], yet they are unable to explain its repeated occurrence over the ages. |

| | [[Christianity]] teaches that all can be saved through Christ. In most cases, hermaphrodites are more male or more female. Doctors can then perform operations shortly after birth to correct the child to the dominant gender and most hermaphrodites will then lead perfectly normal lives in Christ. | | [[Christianity]] teaches that all can be saved through Christ.
