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.

Please note the difference between mutation and DNA damage. In contrast to DNA damage, a mutation is a change in the base sequence of the DNA. A mutation cannot be recognized by enzymes once the base change is present in both DNA strands, and thus a mutation cannot be repaired.

The revolutionary war was. The civil war was a foolish attempt to create a slave empire. Still not strong enough. The Court was designed to be far removed from politics so reason would reign. It has become too political. That was a test of your understanding of Constitutional law.

Do you want to just trade google searches? Please expound on this yourself.

The declaration is not a document that is binding on the government or its citizens. At this point it is aspirational only. Rights are codified in the Constitution but the scheme is weak as the penumbras in the wind. And, no direction on how to handle competing rights is given. Level of...

Nope. DNA does not just reset. Harmful mutations are removed from the population when individual member's fecundity is drastically reduced.

Human Rights can be a helpful concept but there are so many flaws when trying to apply them in real world dilemmas! I prefer Essential Ethical Principles.
