    I've never made any such claim.

    Most of this is irrelevant to the topic but the study you cite doesn't support your contention, at least not in any direct way. Even the stat you directly site demonstrates that you are not talking about the same thing. Having sex for a year, three times a week would be 156 times. If one of...

    Blah blah blah. Studies have shown that pregnancy results from rape about 5% of the time and most of the rapes that do result in pregnancy were perpetrated by members of the victim's own family. That's just the facts of reality. No it isn't. Rapists aren't trying to have children when they...

    Saying it doesn't make it so. Biblically, life is the standard of right and wrong. Proverbs 11:19 As righteousness leads to life, So he who pursues evil pursues it to his own death. If you want to say that God is the standard then I can live with that too. It's the same thing. God is life...

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil grew to be enormous. So large that it stop the river that flowed out from Eden and split into the four head waters that watered the whole Earth. There was, therefore, a great drought and people went up stream to investigate the lack of water flow from the...

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    No it doesn't. That is, there isn't any reason to think that the Earth would have ever flooded the way it did without God intervening to either cause or allow it to happen. Who cares what Calvinists might say? They see no reason for their doctrine to make sense so they can say they believe...

    Who says that it was what breached the crust? It escaped once the crust was breached but that doesn't mean that it had to be the mechanism that breached it.

    Why would you doubt that it would be super heated? Water boils at sea level at just over 200°. That might seem hot but it really isn't very hot at all. Any hold of water at significant depth could easily be hundreds of degrees hotter than that. It wouldn't have to be super-heated in every...

    It wouldn't need to build up. If the water were contained under a layer of the Earth's surface then it would be under pressure due to the weight of the earth above it. So long as the Earth was stable, so would the pressure be. To start the flood, all God had to do was uncork the bottle sort of...

    I went back a reread your post. I misread it the first time. I, for some reason, took it to mean you didn't necessarily think that the flood actually happened. That isn't what you said so I don't know why I would have thought that.

    I completely agree. There was a study in 1996, if I remember the year correctly, that showed pregnancy occurs due to rape only about 5% of the time which is only just barely considered statistically significant. Meaning that the percent of error in practically any scientific study is larger than...

    Playing with fire there. It'll burn you one day. Rejecting Genesis as history has logical consequences that you won't like. You're only inches away from theistic evolution and from there the denial that Jesus was the Creator. Sounds like hyperbole but it isn't, I promise. It's best to put your...

    Read my entire post before beginning to respond. It'll help keep you from look this idiotic. If you attribute human activity to ducks then you are, by definition, anthropomorphizing ducts. Accusing ducks of rape is, therefore, an anthropomorphism. No. Ducks do not talk and they only sort of...

    Thus the term "Hydroplate THEORY". Of course its a theory, just as Plate Techtonics is a theory. Virtually all of geology is based on one theory or another of the Earth's origins. The Hydroplate Theory is easily the best theory that has been proposed to date because it is not only consistent...

    You stated that ducks reproduce via rape. Ducks are fundamentally incapable of rape. Rape is a crime that is perpetrated by human being against other human beings. Therefore, yes, you did, in fact, anthropomorphize ducks. Which, incidentally, does not raise ducks to the level of human beings but...

    I never suggested that pregnancy was impossible but merely that they do not normally occur as a result of rape. The point being that rape has nothing to do with reproduction and if it did, it doesn't work very well at all. This may have several causes, not the least of which being that a woman...

    I said nothing about stress and don't really know anything about the mechanisms involved but it is a well established fact that, while it does happen from time to time, the overwhelmingly vast majority of rapes do not result in a pregnancy. I think the actual number is 5%. That's stupid...

    This, again, is idiotically false. There's far to many ducks for such an effort to be successful but, theoretically speaking, if we wanted to intervene, ducks could be selectively bred away from their aggressive mating tactics. Also, what ducks are doing IS NOT RAPE!!!

    The way animals treat each other doesn't have anything whatsoever to do with natural law! Natural law is based on careful examination of HUMAN nature! It works because we, unlike the animals, have been created in the image and likeness of God. It is precisely natural law that tells us that...
