6:14 "it isn't I who mandate the mutilation of the genitals"

I think some supporters of Kamala were of your faith ...

7:01 "If you withhold knowledge or put them at a competitive disadvantage."

People who want children to be brought up with Evolution are withholding knowledge of:

* essential characteristics of human language irreducible to ape communications; * solutions as to Carbon dating; * which among other things I provide.

They are also the ones making YEC a "competitive disadvantage" by the Barbaric act of bullying and also discrimination.

If it's a competitive disadvantage to be a Christian in a lot of Muslim countries, it's also so to be a YEC Christian in a lot of Evolution believing environments.

But the bottom line is, a YEC parent who teaches YEC to children actually agrees that withholding knowledge is child abuse. It's one they try to avoid perpetrating.

It's one I would try to avoid perpetrating or participating in, if I were a parent.

7:44 Overcoming ignorance, according to whose judgement?

If you appeal to the state, the one you are getting validation from is a young and ignorant intruder into the boots of older governments that were Christian, that were Catholic, that were Young Earth Creationist.

10:00 The faith of Noah was the one thing that allowed mankind and land animals to survive the Flood.

We can know, even if Noah possibly couldn't, that the Ark was amply seaworthy.

Those who dispute that are citing a ship that was wrecked in too shallow waters. That same ship had sailed safely in deeper waters. Why are shallow waters more dangerous? They are more turbulent.

Wyoming 1909–1924 (15 years). This ship had a tendency to flex in heavy seas, causing the planks to twist and buckle due to their extreme length despite being fitted with metal bracing. Water was evacuated nearly constantly by steam pumps. It foundered in heavy seas with loss of all hands.


Heavy seas are shallow seas.

1917 – April. Sold to France & Canada Steamship Co. for about $350,000 (probably about $420,000). By 1 October 1919, it had earned more than twice that amount, and its owners chartered it to load coal at Norfolk for Genoa at $23.50 per ton.


You don't get that kind of gain if the ship isn't safe at deep sea. Check the last two entries, up to sinking:

1924 – Left Norfolk, Virginia, commanded by Captain Charles Glaesel, for Saint John, New Brunswick, with a cargo of coal.
1924 – 11 March. In order to ride out a nor'easter storm, it anchored off Chatham, Massachusetts, in the Nantucket Sound, together with the five-masted schooner Cora F. Cressey which had left Norfolk at the same time as Wyoming. Captain H. Publicover on the Cora F. Cressey weighed anchor at dusk and stood out to sea. Wyoming is believed to have foundered east of the Pollock Rip Lightship and the crew of 14 was lost.


In the Nantucket Sound. Like 9 meter's deep in places. THAT'S turbulent.

That ship had an extra strain that the Ark lacked, propulsion. That ship was in service for much of 15 years, the Ark only over one. That ship sank in shallow seas. The Ark was floating over a world wide ocean, over 1 km deep.

Did Noah know this? Perhaps, perhaps not. But he certainly had faith. And here we are.

10:09 "Even in Subsaharan Africa," AIDS is mostly spread by infidelity, not by fertility.

"Even in Subsaharan Africa," God has made sex for fertility and not for infidelity.

"Even in Subsaharan Africa," the promotion of condoms comes mostly from people who want to prevent someone they despise from having children.

10:22 I'd dispute that the lives of people fooling around or having, even with some fidelity, homosexual practises, is "innocent" lives.

10:55 Half a chromosome away from the Chimpanzee?

Don't think that's correct.

But if it were, where does that leave the undisputedly manmade science you flaunt as an antidote?
