Didn’t think you were. Just a bit of stand up humor. Then you haven’t stopped?
“A complex question, trick question, multiple question, fallacy of presupposition, or plurium interrogationum (Latin, 'of many questions') is a question that has a complex presupposition. The presupposition is a...
You’d think both would have known better than to choose such fathers. With Trump injecting so much misinformation into every mangled sentence it’s no wonder his sycophants get so confused.
It remains an important aspect of modeling how life diversifies over time. However not all the hype and promise of the genome project have been realized. The many cures that were to come with gene fixes haven't arrived. That means that biology is advancing as they study why that is. See...

What I most criticize Christianity for is its claim to exclusivity. Its truth is true so no one else's can be. If only Christianity could own that their mythos points at the same divine mystery as surely as any other .. have the humility not to put themselves first .. put the good of humanity...
