The study you link does not indicate that the sperm was rejected because the egg detected a mutation. There is some other basis. Show me a study that supports your notion.

Extrapolation can be very compelling. And, It beats fabrication every time.

Statutory rape is the closest thing that law enforces as an absolute wrong. But, even in non-statutory rape, it must be proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that the victim did not give consent for the sexual act. This is hard to do in cases of date rape. I hope you see that I have shown that...

Last time I checked it was 2022. Why do you think what went on half a century ago should somehow be controlling? or relevant? Don't do it then. Why should your religion be binding on the conduct of people outside your religion? One person making a decision with no immediate safeguards will...

A couple of binar twins. Nice.

If going off script has meaning to you, what is the hidden meaning behind the first time he went off script to talk about his socks?

This guy is a doofus installed in a position way over is head. He is speaking just after the 2020 election loss. His is pumping up the importance of SPACE FORCE and Pence's role in it. He is buttering up Pence. They both are on their way out. They will neither of them hold positions of power...

Yes, I did. And, I answered it specifically and completely but you didn't like it. I should have focused on the title only. Save time in the future and add a "because. . ." after your bald assertions. Dating the earth itself is more complicated. We can rule out whether the adulterating...

Why didn't you say so? Geologists create an estimate of the earth's age by dating some of earth's meteors. Dating rocks on the crust would be problematic because the surface of the earth goes through a cycle that involves going back and forth from igneous to metamorphic to sedimentary states...

That's a good list of accomplished scientists. They do not parrot anything; they are deep thinkers. Preachers need no intelligence. They need only charisma and buzz words like a parrot. Why else is it possible for a 12 year old to do as good a job as an adult? There were no teenagers on my...

I can see why you voted for Trump.

Welcome another dichotomous thinker to the stage.

Why is the ability to lie equated with intelligence? Toddlers can lie readily.

Actually, it is the first proposal for the list, and it is questionable.

To all-or-none thinkers, this is true. I advocate Essential Ethical Principles that explicitly acknowledge practical limits instead. A balancing mechanism must exist in any system of ethics. Otherwise, some element of might-makes-right is built in explicitly or implicitly.

You said mutations get repaired. They do not.

Nope. Mitigation by self-defense and mistaken self-defense happen all the time. Police can detain you with a reasonable suspicion that you were involved in a crime even when they are dead wrong. They can remove you in protective custody. People accused of a crime have a right to defend...

More helpful than looking at Adam.

I mean what I say. Rights are not absolute. Limits on rights are established by legal precedent. Precedent dictates that government infringement on Primary rights be barred using strict scrutiny on the basis of a substantial reason and only if a lower level of restriction would not accomplish...

In contrast to theists who tend to hide their own opinions behind Bible verse and pretend they have ballast. They tend also to wear a cloak of humility around massive egos in a similar fashion.
