In response to the OP (@kairo), I am equally uncertain. Reading the subsequent posts has made me no less so. If self-defense is correct: If it literally meant only defending one's own person, then I would only be correct in responding to an attacker of me, and not anyone else. This view is...

Is there any company attempting to make ultrasound machines low cost and mass produced enough to be common household appliances? Would this be a worthy venture toward exposing the lie that the unborn are inhuman, or would it cause further problems by allowing people to justify the killing of any...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have been told that there are "safe haven" or "safe surrender" laws in every state, which mean that poor women never have to raise their child if they cannot afford to do so. Perhaps you could find more information about these from sources you trust, as there...

Vote for people who fund and enforce the extermination of millions of humans? I'd sooner elect King George III (unless, that is, he was doing the same... who knows?). It constantly amazes me that voting for tyrants is even a question. As Christians we can tolerate tyranny and persecution. We...

It seems to me that natural selection is very much a process driven by some dying and others living. If you believe that God's creative process is not driven by his election of some to die and others to live, do you therefore believe that natural selection is not the means by which God created...

I went from "God determining who lives and who dies" to "God's creative process", and you said this was a change of gears. That implies that God's determination of who lives and who dies is not the driving force behind his creative process at all. If it were, then that statement would not have...

Agreed, for the most part. A few qualifiers... we do know the basis upon which God chooses who will live sometimes. He promised that Abraham's children will be as numerous as the stars. He promised that he will always keep a descendant for David. Thus God designates at least one family line...

Alright! I'm glad we have established this. Men are not justified by their genetics. Thus God does not justify them by genetics. Thus God does not call them just or unjust according to genetics. So God doesn't determine who lives and who dies according to genetics, right? He makes this...

I cannot understand why you repeatedly say that I'm making that claim. From the very beginning I have done the opposite. From the OP: I am not saying that God chooses one group over another because they are more moral. It's to display His glory. He often chooses the weaker group, not because...

It is more moral to be God. Lactose and non-lactose alike are sinful and deserve death and hell. Some of them died as they deserve - not for the lactose, but for the worship of idols, the murder of humans, and rebelling against God. Perhaps God used a great famine to destroy this group and leave...

Thank you for your thorough and insightful replies to my questions.

Merit may be the wrong word for what I'm describing. I'm saying that the strong appear to dominate the weak, but in the long run they don't, because God intervenes. And for strength, you can substitute any other genetic trait that makes one group "better able to adapt to changes in the...

Bah, sorry to write a book. Here's what I came up with. Ok, first the references. Thank you for providing that information. I will try to look into it more when I get a chance, but I got a start. For one thing, I noticed that the Journal of Paleontology by Cambridge has an open-access section...

@ViaCrucis : Before I continue, please clarify something: do you believe human evolution is ongoing even at present, or did it stop at some point in the past?

For the following statements, please do me a favor. I know that I could look this information up for myself. But if I did that, I would be filtering out sources that I don't trust, and preferentially seeking those I do trust. It seems likely that the set of organizations and persons that I trust...
