A human has 23 chromosomes. One of the vegetables has 11...does that make the vegetable half a human (or there abouts)? It must, considering your logic.

I'd like a little more context on this submission, personally. It's hard to tell what's going on. The phrase "considering your logic" at the end makes it clear that Supersport is being sarcastic here, but I can't tell (without the link) what he's trying to rebut.
No, but, (and this is a Fundie-stunning fact) each human share about 1/2 his/her DNA with the nearest tree. In that sense, trees are half human and humans are half tree.
Oh. Supersport. No, that does not follow from the logic of the poster this is in reply to. S/he just said we have all the same things in one chromosome that those two do in the other apes, including telomeric sequences -in the middle of the chromosome-. Since other signs point to common descent but the chromosome counts don't match this is what we would expect might have happened (btw, this is a prediction of evolutionary theory). By -your- logic some strawberry strains or those treated with colchicine are superhuman.
I'd start out by saying that humans don't have 23 chromosomes, we have 23 pairs of chromosomes ...
... but this is the same Supersport who believes that because Pluto is no longer classed as a Planet, it must therefore be classed as a Star.

I thought that was Carico... Or was it this idiot as well? I lose track. There are times they vie with each other for the 'Most Stupid Person Breathing' award...
Considering how little Supersport knows about science, I can understand how this would make sense to him/her. However, in reality SCIENCE! (human genetic patterns) is just a little more complicated than that.
"A human has 23 chromosomes. One of the vegetables has 11...does that make the vegetable half a human (or there abouts)?"
No. But speaking of vegetables I'm sure I could have a more meaningful conversation with a radish than with you.
"It must, considering your logic."
Check the vegetable's DNA. Then check a human's. You'll find a surprising number of similarities.
Please explain this if we're some sort of "special creation". Evolution explains this because all life on this planet is in some way related. You, on the other hand, you're just fucked as far as your claims go.
If it wasn't Supersport, I would be wondering what the hell was the matter with this person. But since it is, I know exactly what the matter is with him: he's mind-numbingly ignorant about anything even remotely related to science, and probably reality.
Uh, no. Also, we have 23 pairs, or 46, not 23.
Logic does not work like that. I thought we had more than 23 chromosomes? More like 23 PAIRS of chromosomes.
Ah, the level of stupidity is almost contagious. .

Miss Bianca: 'Supersport dahling, we mice have 42 chromosomes. You humans have 46. Does that mean you're a mouse? We have as near as dammit the same number. And the Indian Fern is a superior lifeform to you humans, indeed to every other living thing, as it has 200 chromosomes. It must, considering your logic.'
No, kiddo, the thing is... oh it's you, superdork, nevermind, yeah, you're almost as smart as a turnip.
Actually humans have 46 chromosomes.
and number of chromosomes does not necessarily indicate how closely related the organism is to humans.
But of course, this is stuporshort so I waste my time trying to explain science.
First time I've ever agreed with Supersport about anything. Human has 23 pairs of chromosomes, vegetable with 11 pairs is half a human in terms of the number of chromosomes it has !
"It must, considering your logic."
Sounds like this wasn't the fundy speaking literally, but rather making a rebuttal against someone else's comment.
Lets begin with the most glaring fact:
This topic is far to complex for someone of your "intellect" to fully... wait, ... Sorry, I thought there was a chance you might have opened a 9th grade biology book and retained something other than goddidit. Fail on my part.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
