Do you read up on everything you disagree with?Why not read the book itself?
Do you believe the Genesis account of origins?If I want to talk about it, yes.
Is this a strange concept for you?
I heard murderers were Christians too.Slavers were Christian.
That's gonna change when Jesus returns.If that embryo/fetus/zygote/baby dies because she refuses to give it time in her body that's sad but it's her decision.
Have you read John Lennox’s Book on the creation account?No. But I have read it.
I’m also sorry for the fathers whose sons or daughters are murdered by their partner.The facts of abortion are that a woman can do with her body whatever she wants. The fetus/baby dies if she chooses abortion and that's regrettable. But whatever it is it has no rights. Just as I don't have the right to demand that you donate blood to me even if I will die without it. That law has been settled for a very, very long time. We can't even take organs from dead people without their permission but you insist that a fetus/baby (whatever you want to call it) has the right to take blood and fluids and nutrients from a woman without her consent. That's simply not right. She is an adult woman (in most cases) and has the right to decide if she wants to be pregnant or not. If that embryo/fetus/zygote/baby dies because she refuses to give it time in her body that's sad but it's her decision. Not yours. Certainly not the government's.
You want to call it a baby because that tugs on emotional heart strings and makes your case to force her to give birth easier. It's all based upon the belief that a soul enters this "whatever" at the moment of conception. You can't even tell me when that is. You can't give me evidence that a "soul" exists.
So I'll tell you what. I'll defend your right to give birth anytime you get pregnant. I'll defend anyone's right to give birth anytime they want. But it's also anyone's right to not be pregnant. One thing we should be doing is teaching kids about contraception. Something else you folks are working against.
Is there any rational course of action you're not against?
It’s a more complex discussion of origins. What about “Darwin’s Black Box?”No, I haven't even heard of it.

Oh, wow.No. But I have read it.
Compliment!Yes, I've read Darwin's Black Box. I've read a bunch of ID literature from authors including Behe, Dembski, Denton and Meyer.
Full title: On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for LifeWhich is why everyone... but you... knows you're wrong.
That's special. And yet they all thought they were Christians. They had Bibles on the slave ships that went back and forth across the Atlantic. The slave owners went to church on Sunday. I know you don't like facts but YOU don't get to decide who is a Christian and who isn't. That's up to your God and he didn't see fit to do anything to any one of them.What do you suggest blaming lying on?
As I said, USA slave owners and sellers and buyers we’re definitely NOT following the biblical instructions on slavery. I know you don’t like those facts but that is the truth.
Oh, wow.
