This is all you've got. Your data doesn't compare proportionality but absolute figures. It's like saying that China's wealthier than France because you're only comparing absolute GDP instead of GDP 'per capita'.

You can't. There's no real law for countries, there's only law inside of them. So if a regime does something evil like invade Ukraine and murder Ukrainians it's not like you arrest them and prosecute them in a court of law.

Just because every time you threw a deck of cards onto the floor the 52 cards didn't self assemble into a house, doesn't mean that it therefore never really did happen. That's a logical fallacy.

Yeah I won't be doing any of that. Would it be ethical and moral, according to MAD (Mid-Acts Dispensational) ethics and or morals, to tell Vladimir Putin to NOT murder 666 Ukrainians because he'll go to hell if he does so? I say it's ethical (according to my 'Protestant' understanding of...

Philosophically Mr. Peterson comes from materialism, he doesn't believe in God----so when he does think about God (the non-local hidden Person Who made everything) what does he think of? He thinks of ethics; morals. It's because being a materialist he 'gravitates' to the 'salient' things about...

The day to get a gun, learn how to use the gun, and start carrying the gun is not the day after Putin invades, it's before that day.

Missing the entire point. Par for the course with you. So predictable.

There is too: Life.

Aren't you presuming that "the rape victim" is actually a rape victim? Why don't you think that President Trump's accusers are "rape victims"? Why only President Biden's? What's the difference?

That was basically my point. I know. So consider how the world might have changed if the Allies had this sort of intelligence before Germany invaded France, rather than just being surprised by the 'blitzkrieg'? It's extremely simple and yet extremely important.

But the story, if it's true, seems to support that they should be the norm and not exceptional.

Canons are just required in order to adjudicate when needed. In spite of Paul instructing us to not take one another to court, if we somehow end up in court anyway, then we need canons. They are traditions of men, and not of God (canons are not strictly speaking Apostolic), but they are...

So the problem with the evidence is the lack of 'intermediate' species. We should, you would expect, see a much more continuous fossil record than we do, if what you're proposing is what actually happened. It's not proof positive that you're wrong, it's just consistent with a six day creation...

Are you even 'allowed' to tell people to not do something because it's evil? And if so, with what justification? It's not because you're in danger of 'burning', it's only because it's a human rights violation, and not profitable to be evil, but not because you're going to hell if you invade...

Nope. There's no reason to suspect that we cannot synthesize all the biochemicals needed to make a soup that can generate fresh life. Once you have all the right chemicals in the right proportion all you need to do is build a structure. You're going to build dozens of structures, and they are...

It's remarkable for "intelligence" to mean something as simple and consequential as "there are tons of Russian troops, guns and materiel surrounding Ukraine right now".

OK.

Weighty.

My impression of MAD is the impression that everyone who is not MAD has of MAD ethics. I'm not lying, I'm informing you, and making a representative argument against MAD, which is a challenge to MADs, defend your theory. It would be good if you or some other MAD could dispel any false...

"IMPOSSIBLE" is rhetoric. By their own admission the 'odds' are extremely long. "Impossibly" long, you'd say (I'd tend to agree), but this is an interpretation, that supports your own personal narrative, because "impossible" means to many people that the odds are zero----that there is...
