(D)-"A genetic flaw between the humans that are on the American continent, and the ones that remain behind in the UK is my best guess"

(PP)-Yes. It's called making leaps of faith.

(D)- hummmm That is interesting … I mean a leap of faith is a genetic flaw.
Perhaps you are correct.
Perhaps you are not, as evolutional progression can either digress, or advance.
Who’s to say what direction is best suited to mark a course?

Tell me, Phill --- what is so difficult about making a comparison between two hypothetical situations that both would seem to indicate the reality of a certain situation?
---(Better let me explain that better)--- Phill, while you demand proof of something, while accepting “nothing (?)” as part of your reality, and while looking at “something” that represents your definition of “Nothing”, you seem blinded, by your inabilities to comprehend that nothing really is something after all.

It is your animal anatomy working from its prehistoric animal fears, that simply, fills in the blanks for you, and would create for you a reality favorable to your misunderstandings.
It’s considered an acceptance of not understanding that “nothing” always begins with some definition, or words arranged in such a manner, as to give some analogy, or meanings to describe the word itself! Truth is, comparisons are the vehicle to arrive at a choice that one makes when understanding becomes clearer through the hypothetical made. It’s a form of communication that lets us reach some sort of mutual understand of the notion, theory, or facts rendered, dissected, mutilated, absorbed, enlightened, or simply laid out there to be discussed.
(PP)-As for who is behind, which one is descended from which one's 400 yr old religious rejects :-). We don't do it as much over here, we tend to wait until at least some evidence is gathered that actually supports it, not leap on an idea and go 'yes, that must be it then because we can take evidence for other things and decide it supports this too.

(D)- To me when one refuses to take the plunge, the water remains untested. :)

(PP)-More than that, it's the old kindergarten logic that says "a house is big, an elephant is big, so an elephant must be a house." Scientific Americans don't do it either btw, just pointing out that certainly I do consider the evangelical jumping on theoretical bandwagons to be more of a US thing than over here, although we have our share of it.

(D)- YES!
I also learned everything I ever needed to know from kindergarten through grade school. The rest resulted in inconclusive analysis of notions, theories, and facts!

(D)-I take it you don’t buy into sciences theory that all life began as female?

(PP)-I don't not buy it, I'll let you know when I get to read up on all the research.

(D)-Logic is an ability to make leaps of faith, assuming nothing beforehand when beginning the task of examining knowledge for the first time. An open mind is required so that neither side is filtered out.

(PP)-It doesn't logically follow we split into two like amoebas or similar though, or fertilized ourselves. C'mon, that's a leap.

(D)- While you are at it … research “fertilization”. In the case of the whiptail the generic makeup is complete inside each egg that the mother is born with, and does not require any inputs to reproduce the mother. At some point in her generation of life…Shit happens, as some bumper sticker on E’s trunk mentions :lol
The eggs are laid, hatched, and they are exact duplicates of the mom complete with thier very own egg sacks intact. Now, concerning the afore mentioned cloning situation, the whiptail lizard is just one situation of many similarities that do exist throughout nature, and around the world. If you are taking your first steps then we may never hear from you again. It is fascinating path that leads to all kinds of findings! Virgin births are just one example. Nature is full of things like some frogs, and salamanders hear sounds through their tongues. Some insects rear their offspring through adolescence, and many other interesting natural occurrences. So then good luck on your journey, Phill!

(PP)- Besides, if we assume that science is correct when saying we have a common ancestor with apes etc, at no time does it ever say they were asexual and could subdivide or clone themselves on the fly. That might have happened when we were all amoebas, but by the time you have a complex organism like a proto-human? Have to feel a big no there, sorry.

(D)- I thought you were not in to leaps of faith, Phill! You certainly are confusing me about that. Just when we find a middle ground you spout off with “It's an interesting notion, as I said, but no more valid to me than the concept that all of our world leaders are really shape changing alien lizards.”
Certainly you don’t expect me to swallow that crap! :lol

(D)- Hummmm ???
