It would be nice if you answered my question instead of ignoring it.

We should tolerate anything that is benign, tolerating something that interferes with significantly with civilization or results in harm to humans cannot be tolerated. I am very tolerant of dogs, even stray dogs, dogs that are not submissive but live independent and react aggressively trifled with can also be tolerated. But a dog that goes around attacking people cannot be tolerated, despite my love of dogs such dogs must be removed from the population. But fundamentalist religion is intolerant of all who disagree, in fact their goal is to force everyone else to follow their way of life often by violence. Tolerating this is like tolerating a rabid dog. It simply cannot be done if you want to live...

If you found an earth like planet around a star twice as massive as our sun, which would mean it's life span would be very short on the order of one billion years. If the star was going to make the Earth like planet uninhabitable in say one million years would it be ethical to colonize that planet?

I see no reason to protect any religion from criticism, in fact critically examining religion is IMHO exactly what should be done. We cannot afford to be tolerant to those who are intolerant..

I continue to be blown away by this bad, the lead singer is awesome and damn if that girl can't play that six string bass!

Again I ask how does this explain the gravity of Venus?,

IMHO Ben carson is either stupid or deceitful, since he is a politician, and a republican politician at that I think deceitful is more likely.... Yes, i agree only a matter of time, millions of years and trillions of labs... Reality is not predicated on belief, I do not believe there is a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, not because I have searched all rainbows but because there is not only no evidence of a pot of gold but no reason to think there is one other than what someone claims...

The Planet Venus has little to no magnetic field and spins very slowly yet it has a gravitational field within a few percentage points of the Earth. How do your ideas explain this? I know this is an old thread... but it should be said that UFOs predate UAVs by at least a century...

Well yes, this would the direction I am trying to show Raider5678, if you go with the zygote as a person you are really stretching it, some even go past the fertilized egg and masterbation kills babies (Yes I have heard that argument) As HI said it's more about controlling women, poor things are only children after all... We "MEN" have to show them the way! This debate is misogynist even if you do not realise it, in fact it started around the turn of the 19th and 20th century with a wave of anti birth control fervor. The fight was quite fierce and when the religious zealots realised they had lost they kept trying and failing to limit birth control in ever way they could. I remember trying to get condoms when i was a teenager, I had to go to truck stop bathroom vending machines! I do not think anyone is advocating abortion as a recreational activity, nor is it done freely at any point during pregnancy. To me the life of the mother is paramount, abortion should be done before the fetus is viable unless the life of the mother is at risk JMHO but my wife and I have discussed this many times and I defer to her, of the two of us she is the only one who has to do the "work" of carrying a baby so she is the expert not me. But we both agree that abortion should not be taken lightly, to suggest it is or should be is ludicrous! For me, abortion simply as birth control is simply not right. On the other hand making a woman or teenage girl give birth against their will comes close to being a heinous crime. I doubt the number of abortions due to simple promiscuity is large and few women think to themselves I'll go ahead and have sex tonight, I can always get an abortion if need be...

To avoid confusion can you define when a fertilized egg becomes a fetus?

So a zygote is not a person? Fetus

I am talking about a fertilized egg, almost as many fertilized eggs simply do not implant as those that do... Even eggs that do become implanted often break free and are shed in a woman's menstrual flow...

So every time a woman has sex but the egg doesn't stay put we should have a funeral?

I'm not really sure ethics figures into it, when is it ethical to kill? Is it ever? Legal sometimes but having to kill even in self defense if a nightmare from where I stand. Being a male I am sure I can't even begin to understand but to take away that option seems less than realistic...

Hillary's Emails on Weiner's Laptop Sounds like a punch line to a bad joke...

And yet they wonder why we have gun problems...

Another good cover band!

I think she is about 14 now, sings even better!

Check this out! I have become their fan boy!

Yet another one hit wonder?

Well considering Darwin didn't think there were any human sub species, not that it really matters, he was not in possession of the ultimate truth, I don't see how Darwin is relevant... I am sorry, it misspoke Cleopatra is indeed among the ancestors of everyone alive today...

Some evidence other than your assertion would be expected at this point.. Actually yes they do count Confucius among their ancestors, what part of "Gene Pool" are you having problems with? Gene flow is not only in one direction...

I would like to know if can tell me the race of this person: There is a concept known as the genetic bucket chain, gene flow around the world is such that no human population is isolated genetically. For sub species to form would require genetic isolation for long periods of time. You can count among your ancestors Confucius, due to this "bucket chain" This video by an expert on genetics, it's a short video and very eye opening.
