Your incredulity springs to mind among other's.

The god of the gaps argument in reverse, the only certainty is, we're alive today despite the tax...

I would suggest you tell your child, to play on the swings; while the grown-ups have a conversation.

No, just imagining a different scenario; for instance, it's just a story that explains how the bad was washed away and an olive branch could be the path to peace.

Tell him a story that he's capable of understanding and accepting, that can be explained further as his comprehension improves, thus building his pyramid of knowledge; who cares if the foundation of his knowledge contains a story about storks or fairy's.

I'm starting to think you're not debating honestly, either that or you're being obtuse. Your using science as a comfort blanket rather than a means to explore. Science isn't a thing, it's a concept, a means to an end, a tool and a way to explain thing's, mostly to adult's like you and me who accept the evidence provided (preaching to the choir). Science isn't a way to explain life and what it means to be a good human, it doesn't even try because it lacks the vocabulary to tell the story.

Yes, you've brought it up ad nauseum, which is strange since no-one has argued otherwise, neither is it an argument to not try, because we can't know ahead of time who the incorrigible recidivist is going to be, unless you have access to some floaty people who can see the future. So, you think you're immune to rabies/disease/illness or the human condition and you say I'm blinkered, now that's obtuse. My, so called, unworkable philosophy is to give everyone a chance to heal before we condemn them as blind, even you.

I thought I did...

Surprise 😲...

I think I do...

" Where will the next pandemic begin?" Right here...

Give or take what? Noah and his gang was more me today, than I was 300 million year's ago...

Science doesn't know what it means to be human, fairy-tales are often more effective at teaching children; science lacks the narrative to engage the unbeliever. confirmation bias has reinforced my sense of a patern, you know the one; you call me stupid because you can't answer/understand my post, that's why I'm not offended. I'm using science to explore me, you're using science to defend you; which is more religious?

“A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.” ― Jean de La Fontaine. A harsh prison creates harsher criminal's and we can't keep them all locked up forever; isn't it more cost effective, for society as a whole, to spend money on creating less harsh people? To continue arguing that I could never (under no circumstances) do anything evil, I couldn't possibly do what Hitler did, is like saying I can't catch rabies...

Sorry, I'm a bit tipsy, on the edge of Germane, so too speak, please don't mistake it for noise...

Sorry, missed that...

It doesn't stop there, why not both?

Doesn't politics deserve a messiah?

Potatoes, potatoes... 😉

Don't you believe there is no such thing as God's? I know I do, but neither science or me can be sure of that, so we're left with belief; besides I've never said science = religion, I may have said science is your religion; you've done nothing, so far, to assuage that opinion.

You must have missed this post. Along with most of my other post's, including this my last...

Tag you're it... 🙄

An example of outlier's that can't be taught or corrected, is an excuse to brush every criminal/them under the carpet, and a reason for Hitler to kill so many people. Justice is about how you'd want to be treated; if you accidentally become a criminal.

A good idea is a good idea, no matter when it was written...
