On Fri, 13 Feb 2004 00:20:30 GMT, "jabriol" <jabriol@borijan.org> thought hard and said: <snip> Ah, but evidence of any god has never been found by any scientific study. Well, any unbiased study.
It has, but as mentioned before it gets laugh off. I posted an article of two scientist, that simply stated the red sea crossing could have occured.. It got laughed off. As I stated before, it is not the evidence per se, it is the "who"that validates it. take a look at OJ simpson case.. same evidence.. 2 different court decisions why?

This would no more wash than similar defenses for murder (anger is natural), theft (greed is natural), or eating one's neighbors or their pets (hunger is very natural). Did you miss the part where you specifcally asked for a scientific answer, NOT a moral one. There are many, many crimes which consist of ways of satisfying natural urges which society is nevertheless not willing to condone. You also seem to be under the misapprehension that the primary motive of rapists is reproduction. While the root cause of a desire for sex may be a drive to reproduce, that is probably not foremost on the minds of most offenders, given that rapes have been documented where the attacker was sterile or wore a condom. In fact, these crimes frequently seem to be more about power and dominance than simple lust. Also, an insanity plea can only be made in most states based on a mental defect preventing the defendant from realizing that what they were doing was wrong; there is little or no provision for 'compulsion'. Even if such a plea is successful, commitment to an institution is for an indeterminate period of time, and most psychiatrists have by now caught on to the fact that sex offenders are incredibly difficult to treat and have a horribly high recidivism rate, so a release date of a few months is *highly* unlikely.

Quite correct: "Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea." (Click on the word "Red" for a translation from the Hebrew.) http://bible.crosswalk.com/OnlineStudyBible/bible.cgi?word=ex+15:4&version=str&st=1&sd=1&new=1&showtools=1
And it could have happened during the tsunami caused by the explosion of Santorini.
A fascinating hypothesis, though I understand there are problems with the timeline. It would certainly qualify as a miracle for most people of the time, and would explain the pillar of smoke by day and the pillar of fire by night.

I'm not sure about the timeline, either. It might also explain some of the plagues, though. (Although I can't see how "darkness" could be BEFORE the tsunami....)

And yet, we watch the evolutionists fail to see this. -- Pastor Dave Raymond "As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before thee." - Jeremiah 17:16 "Few paleontologists have, I think ever supposed that fossils, by themselves, provide grounds for the conclusion that evolution has occurred. An examination of the work of those paleontologists who have been particularly concerned with the relationship between paleontology and evolutionary theory, for example that of G. G. Simpson and S. J. Gould, reveals a mindfulness of the fact that the record of evolution, like any other historical record, must be construed within a complex of particular and general preconceptions not the least of which is the hypothesis that evolution has occurred. ...The fossil record doesn't even provide any evidence in support of Darwinian theory except in the weak sense that the fossil record is compatible with it, just as it is compatible with other evolutionary theories, and revolutionary theories and special creationist theories and even historical theories."

Most such eruptions are a series of events, sometimes over weeks or even years (though there was at least one particularly violent explosion which devastated Thera). Certainly, the volcano could have put tons of ash in the air long before the actual explosion at issue. More information is required before any firm conclusions can be made, of course.

Is Rape part of human evoltuion? now I am asking for a biological observation based on human behaviour not a moral one Okay, then - we would have to conclude that rape is part of the observed range of human behavior. Whether it is genetically or culturally determined is open to question, but granting that culture itself is a product of human minds and brains as evolved through natural selection, the yes, we would have to say that rape as a behavior results ultimately from human evolution. Just like the entire range of positive and negative human behaviors. Rape is not unique to humans, by the way. It has been observed in ducks, for example. Same thing they say about homosexuality. So by this logic (and I'm not attacking you), people should have the legal right to rape, considering that just as the homosexuals argue, it is genetic (no proof of that), it is natural and we can see it in the animal kingdom. and that is the argument that got all the supports banned from the talk.orign group. the implication of the evolutionary theory is wide spread. all supposed negative behaviour can be deemed as necessary for human evolution, and since some says evolution is a very long process, rape is a vestigal behaviour.

It is, and all the one above falls under the same category., A lawyer would certainly use nature as a defense.. a man rob a hotdog to eat.. etc a jury would be more lenient to a person who rob food. ancient warfare was based on the need for a tribe to survive, including the wiping out of another tribe.

They don't seem to get it. Even using their rules, the majority of Americans do not want gay marriage legalized.

Well, certainly, some lawyers will try any tactic conceivable. Doesn't mean that it will work, and doesn't mean that evolution provides a particularly fertile field for this kind of argument. Not as fertile, as, say, religion, anyway... after all, Son of Sam claimed the Devil made him do it, and plenty of other defendants have said God told them to kill somebody, although I haven't heard about anybody blaming original sin or bad design on the Creator's part as yet. But then, there is no legal doctrine saying that just because a behavior derives from our evolutionary history, the law has to make allowances for it. If there were, for example, nobody could ever be successfully prosecuted for solicitation of prostitution or hunting without a license, either.

In some cases to be more permissive, in others to be more restrictive. There is still no general doctrine of the sort you imply, nor a big movement to base law on sociobiology.

all supposed negative behaviour can be deemed as necessary for human evolution, and since some says evolution is a very long process, rape is a vestigal behaviour.
I don't believe that I've ever seen the word "rape" in the context of evolution. Further, I don't see that it has any place. Survival of the fittest, that's the ticket. If you reproduce, your genes are fit to be passed on. If you don't, you're an evolutionary dead end. So WRT evolution, we have only reproductive behavior. We have only sex, or whatever passes for sex in that species. In some species, the entire reproductive behavior might be classed as rape (by humans). Sharks, for example. I've seen that nursing sharks reproduce by the male forcing the female to submit, that's just the way it's done. It works, we have enough baby sharks to keep the species alive. I don't know that all the sharks reproduce this way but I don't think that most species have radically different reproductive strategies among their sub-species. Interestingly enough, in other contexts many preach the doctrine of 'diversity', but there extreme limits on what kinds of diversity is acceptable. For some reason, it seems that we need more arabs in the US, because diversity is what made America great. On the other hand, the taliban is evil because it does not treat women as feminists deem they should. And somehow feminists claim to be pro-diversity. I've not seen another contry where the very real cultural diversity is apperciated and supported, apparently 'diversity' means basically that the US has too many employed white males.
A man who rapes a women, could use the defense, he was compelled by his biological need to reproduce at all cost.
We allow women to have as many children as they want, and almost always assign the very real costs elswhere. Can you tell me why this is?
in the legal sense a plea for insanity can be made for a rapist,
Oddly enough, women who murder their newborns have a ready made instanity defense, post-partum depression. But if anyone else were to murder her children, then they are the scum of the earth and the legal system treats their actions very seriously.
and in a few month, the man is free to walk the streets again.
We rarely even charge women who rape, or make false rape accusations. When a woman rapes a minor boy and gets pregnant, the State assigns her custody and the rape victim child support. Explain to me exactly how wrong rape is and why women who rape don't get the same legal treatment and social stigma as men. Rich
