1.7% of 7.9 billion is 134 million.

According to experts, between 0.05% and 1.7% of the population is born with intersex traits.

Intersex is a general term used for a variety of conditions in which a person is born with a reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn’t seem to fit the typical definitions of female or male. For example, a person might be born appearing to be female on the outside, but having mostly male-typical anatomy on the inside. Or a person may be born with genitals that seem to be in-between the usual male and female types—for example, a girl may be born with a noticeably large clitoris, or lacking a vaginal opening, or a boy may be born with a notably small penis, or with a scrotum that is divided so that it has formed more like labia. Or a person may be born with mosaic genetics, so that some of her cells have XX chromosomes and some of them have XY.

Some naturalists presented insects as moral beings. Some chose to focus on a few charismatic species—notably bees, which had long been admired as sociable, productive creatures who were helpful to humans. But  Jeanette Samyn points to a different take on the value of insect life presented by Louis Figuier, a French writer who interpreted science for a popular audience. His 1868 book The Insect World fascinated and repulsed readers with descriptions of astonishing insect behavior. He ascribed conscious choice, industriousness, and sociality to the bugs. In some cases, he did this by anthropomorphizing them—describing a flea laying eggs as a “foreseeing mother,” for example. But often, the value he found was totally independent of human ethics, lying simply in their status as living creatures that play a part in the web of natural life. For example, he praised the “marvelous…industry, patience, and dexterity” and “biological intelligence” of parasitic fleas, ticks, and lice.

Yes, but they had "feelings" on the matter.

Yes,  a Church-commissioned report in 2004 said more than 4,000 US Roman Catholic priests had faced sexual abuse allegations in the last 50 years.

Both scholarly and popular work on animal behavior suggests that many of the activities that are thought to be distinct to humans occurs in non-humans. For example, many species of non-humans develop long lasting kinship ties—orangutan mothers stay with their young for eight to ten years and while they eventually part company, they continue to maintain their relationships. Less solitary animals, such as chimpanzees, baboons, wolves, and elephants maintain extended family units built upon complex individual relationships, for long periods of time. Meerkats in the Kalahari desert are known to sacrifice their own safety by staying with sick or injured family members so that the fatally ill will not die alone. All animals living in socially complex groups must solve various problems that inevitably arise in such groups. Canids and primates are particularly adept at it, yet even chickens and horses are known to recognize large numbers of individuals in their social hierarchies and to maneuver within them. One of the ways that non-human animals negotiate their social environments is by being particularly attentive to the emotional states of others around them.

On April 23, 1635, the first public school in what would become the United States was established in Boston, Massachusetts. Known as the Boston Latin School, this boys-only public secondary school was led by schoolmaster Philemon Pormont, a Puritan settler. The Boston Latin School was strictly for college preparation. It was modeled after the Free Grammar School of Boston, England. The English school taught Latin and Greek and was centered on the humanities. Some of the Boston Latin School’s most well-known alumni include John Hancock and Samuel Adams. Benjamin Franklin was a dropout!

We know that The K-T Asteroid Hit Earth 66 Million Years Ago and killed all the Dinosaurs. Why was God amoral about Dinosaurs?

Believer's Voice of Victory with Kenneth Copeland
You can live how God intended—free from all sickness and disease!

Kenneth Copeland is worth $750 million. So much for the eye of a needle.

It's too bad pastor Marcus Lamb (only worth $10 million) couldn't have watched this. He died from Covid-19 on Dec. 2, 2021.

However Daystar listed his show today as new with original air date of 4/08/22.

From: The Book of Job: From An Immoral To An Amoral God

                 By James A. Colaiaco

 The God that Job had heard about from tradition is different from the God he experiences. He is not a God of justice but of absolute power, arbitrary and unaccountable to humans. In fact, God is silent on the question of divine justice. But the question of God’s justice is central to the Book of Job. If God wished Job to understand that his justice is beyond human comprehension, he never expresses it. If God wished humans to understand innocent suffering as a test of faith, why did he not say so? Would a benevolent God torment humans merely to test their faith?

Orthodox religious interpreters could never find fault with God. Nevertheless, the text makes clear that God is the cause of Job’s innocent suffering. Satan, the “adversary,” is merely God’s instrument. When God speaks from the whirlwind, he completely ignores Job’s innocent suffering. God was responsible for the deaths of Job’s ten children, for reducing Job to penury, and for afflicting him with a horrible disease. Indeed, God is more concerned with celebrating his own power than dealing with the question of justice. The suffering Job attacked God as arbitrary, malicious and tyrannical. Interestingly, according to Elie Wiesel, one possible meaning of the name "Job," is "where is my father?" In the end, God concedes that, unlike Job’s friends, Job “spoke the truth about me.” Contrary to the claims of many religious interpreters, there is no evidence in the text to support the notion of a loving God. I urge those interested to read the text critically and draw their own conclusions.

What about corporate welfare?  State and local spending on corporate welfare has ballooned to at least $95 billion, up 200 percent in the past 30 years, and nearly twice as much as public funding for fire protection. Every state throws money at corporations, and while most don’t report the true totals, the evidence that exists is deeply concerning.

Does this apply to Angels existence also?

“Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual.” – Carl Sagan

Jesus told him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me."

But when bmdrocks21 heard this, he went away sad, for he had many possessions.

Has anybody bought Trump's new picture book that he is advertising on Fox? Why do you think that it is all pictures?

Well stated. You are on the list of Intelligent Man. I'm sure many from Worm Man will respond to you.

Oh, look, the republican Satanists are out. We don't want to help any poor people. We want to give all our money to a fat, low IQ, rich person who had 3 wives just like Jesus.

Well, since it is on the Statue of Liberty, yes.

I have no problem with Trump bringing  Slovenian strippers into the country ( and making them First Lady's).

OMG, you aren't Caitlyn Jenner are you?

You can see why his profile pic is Donald Trump.

One of the greatest cons of the 21st century was the idea, invented whole cloth by the producers of The Apprentice, that Donald Trump was a genius businessman. Indeed, his time in the White House revealed that not only was he neither a genius businessman nor a genius period, but he was, in fact, in layman’s terms, a big fuckin’ moron. Obviously, the supporting examples are too numerous to mention, but a brief smattering includes his recommendation that people inject household cleaner into their veins; his suggestion that we stop hurricanes by dropping nuclear bombs on them; his decision to look right at a solar eclipse without protective eyewear; and his belief that one can get cancer from the sound of windmills.

Do you think Putin has seen this forum? He used to be an atheist but is now a Christian. Does he think atheism is irrational?

RUSSIAN PRESIDENT Vladimir Putin has told interviewers he wears an Orthodox Church baptismal cross pendant, given to him by his mother. In his annual address to the Federal Assembly in 2014, Putin declared, “Christianity was a powerful spiritual unifying force . . . in the creation of a Russian nation and Russian state.” He added, “It was thanks to this spiritual unity that our forefathers for the first time and forevermore saw themselves as a united nation.”

Clownfish are initially male; the largest fish in a group becomes a female. Most species of parrotfish start life as females and later change into males.

Do you think that the 17 year old girl traveling with Gaetz had a dream of liberty?

Does anyone else think GP probably looks like RB?  I bet he has a tattoo of Jesus on the Cross on his right arm too.

It's  SHEOL, not SHOEL.  Also, it's in the Earth.

So, RationalMadman thinks more like Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking and Conservallectual  thinks more like Jim Bakker.

The stolen body hypothesis posits that the body of Jesus Christ was stolen from his burial place. His tomb was found empty not because he was resurrected, but because the body had been hidden somewhere else by the apostles or unknown persons. Both the stolen body hypothesis and the debate over it presume the basic historicity of the gospel accounts of the tomb discovery. The stolen body hypothesis finds the idea that the body was not in the tomb plausible – such a claim could be checked if early Christians made it – but considers it more likely that early Christians had been misled into believing the resurrection by the theft of Jesus's body.

OMG, I think you are really Will Smith.

OMG, do you think the extraterrestrials are going to kill us?  Do you think they created Putin and Trump?

Do you think that extraterrestrial beings think we are bugs?

Yes, I got the Moderna too. The nearly 17 million Americans who got the Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine aren't as protected as those who received Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna shots, data shows.

After the Oscars incident, journalist Tony Ortega, who often writes about the Church of Scientology, tweeted: “Yeah, I figured I was going to start getting this question, so here it is: Will and Jada Smith have been out of #Scientology since at least 2015. (Jada was heavy into it, Will was a dabbler.).”

Why do we die?  Isn't it to enable Evolution?

You Intelligent Aliens viewing this forum can obviously see that life on Earth was an accident.

Didn't you once tell me that I had Putin derangement syndrome?

Maybe Will was just trying to copy Trump.  At a Las Vegas rally on the eve of the Nevada caucuses in 2016, Donald Trump was once again heckled. The GOP front-runner said that in the "old days" such a protester would be “carried out on a stretcher.” Trump added, “I’d like to punch him in the face.”

Well stated.

Good article, it states:

The Reagan boom raised more people out of poverty than any similar boom since World War II, but the economic revival of the mid-1980s did not touch all Americans equally. One study revealed that while annual income for American families grew by 3.5 percent during Reagan's first term, middle-class families saw only a 1-percent gain, compared to affluent Americans (those in the top quintile of the income bracket) who saw their incomes rise by 9 percent. In contrast, American families with incomes in the bottom quintile saw their average incomes decline by 8 percent; black families and households headed by women were particularly hard hit by declining incomes. Finally, child poverty increased to levels exceeding those of the mid-1960s.

Incel -chud, Tear Down  This  Wall !

The percentage of the total population below the poverty level increased from 13.0% in 1980 to 15.2% in 1983, then declined back to 13.0% in 1988. During Reagan's first term, critics noted homelessness as a visible problem in U.S. urban centers.

I don't know why poor people (net worth less  than $300 million) even want to live. The estimated net worth of Pastor Alph Lukau is $1 billion. He is considered one of the richest pastors in the world. Why is God a Capitalist?

    Thanks

Sorry about that, you are plenty versed in science.
