    Black Lives Matter and the Racist theory of Evolution

    If you think evolution says anything at all about whether an action is moral or not, you're making a basic category mistake. Evolution does not say anything at all about the moral connotations of rape, consensual sex, or anything else. All it does is describe what happens -- it doesn't tell you...

    West TX Children Treated for Vitamin A Toxicity Along Side Measles

    Unfortunately, "speaking to the issues" of chronic disease and processed foods is not the same as actually doing anything about them. One of the top NIH nutrition researchers just resigned because of censorship at the NIH, while also citing the negative effects of budget cuts: Leading Nutrition...

    West TX Children Treated for Vitamin A Toxicity Along Side Measles

    They fall off a cliff when it comes to preventing infection, but they retained a good deal of effectiveness in preventing severe disease and death well into the Variant of Concern era. (Probably still do, but it's hard to do studies now.) Note, by the way that you've just demonstrated that his...

    West TX Children Treated for Vitamin A Toxicity Along Side Measles

    On the other hand, this more recent statement by RFK *was* wildly off-base: “It is a single antigen vaccine. And for respiratory illnesses, the single antigen vaccines have never worked.” The guy shouldn't be anywhere near anything to do with public health.

    West TX Children Treated for Vitamin A Toxicity Along Side Measles

    As long as they thereafter maintain absolutely zero contact with other humans, I'm fine with that. If they do interact with other people (as humans tend to do), then their choices affect others. For diseases like measles, choosing not to be vaccinated kills other people.

    Lawrence Krauss Speaks Up ....

    I responded to a specific comment in this thread (in the science forum) about Christians in science, speaking as a Christian in science. If you don't want that subject to be discussed in your thread, you should police the original comment. Nope. I can't stand Krauss and have no interest in...

    Lawrence Krauss Speaks Up ....

    Hmm. I've been variously affiliated with Yale, Purdue, Cornell, Stanford, Princeton, MIT, and Harvard, working in physics, human genetics, and epidemiology. That's a reasonable sampling of university-based science research in the US, at least. I've yet to run into anyone who cared about my...

    Lawrence Krauss Speaks Up ....

    Complete nonsense. I'm a Christian in the sciences and I can't imagine any reason I would have to "keep my head down". Anyone I work with closely knows that I'm a Christian and nobody cares.

    Why we can never travel faster than the speed of light

    The short answer to "why?" is "because that's the universe we live in". The longer answer is a more mathematically precise way of saying the same thing.

    The soul isn`t from genes

    The soul isn`t from genes

    That's not clear to me. The soul was originally a Greek concept, and it ended up serving as an attempted scientific explanation for the behavior of living things. Thus, there were multiple kinds of souls: the vegetative, sensitive, and rational souls, accounting for plant, animal, and human...

    CFI's response to other secular groups

    I'd say it is. For me, the primary goal of sports is to provide humans, especially male humans, with an outlet to compete against one another without stabbing or shooting one another or starting world wars.

    Science (observations in nature) - supports creation not evolution. So does the Bible

    You said I should read Copt's book, Missing Links in the Assyrian Tablets. Capt was a strong proponent of British-Israelism and that book is a major part of the case he made, and it fits exactly into the mold of amateurs making claims that are rejected by all experts in the field. No, I'm not...

    Science (observations in nature) - supports creation not evolution. So does the Bible

    Nope. British Israelism is pure crackpottery, pieced together by amateurs in violation of everything that's known about the relevant linguistics, archaeology, and genetics. You object to well-established scientific methods because they conflict with your personal version of alternative history...

    Science (observations in nature) - supports creation not evolution. So does the Bible

    Sorry -- I was looking for actual history.

    Science (observations in nature) - supports creation not evolution. So does the Bible

    Could you be more specific? As far as I know, we know surprisingly little about movement of people for anything but the most recent history -- and that's what should correlate with genetic tracing.

    If theistic evolution, how can God save a raven?

    No, it means lots of things on Wikipedia: Learn to look for yourself instead of relying on AI.

    If theistic evolution, how can God save a raven?

    No, it means different things in different contexts. That's how acronyms (and words) work. If a bunch of people use it to mean 'theory of evolution', it means 'theory of evolution'.

    Science (observations in nature) - supports creation not evolution. So does the Bible

    I think you have it backwards. Genetic ancestry is on more solid ground that our knowledge of the migration of ancient peoples, at least for the last 20,000 years or so. Ancient DNA has revealed major population movements into and within Europe that we know little or nothing about from archeology.

    Trump hypothesizes genetic basis for murderous behavior among human populations

    Well, now you know. I assume you did know that this thread was in the physical and life sciences forum and not in a political one.
