"sen·tient adj. Having sense perception; conscious. Experiencing sensation or feeling." I've always seen sentience as a slightly prejudiced term. It ascribes value to the human mind and sensation over and above any other animal's mind...  [Read More]

Hoooohohhh-kay. I've been doing a fair old bit of research, and I've found some good stuff. Pertinent to the following quoted paragraph, Skinwalker, I have some sites that contain examples of what I've been talking about. There are quite a few, thoug...  [Read More]

In that case, ShadowT. was correct in stating that your comprehension was lacking in regards to science. Specifically with regards to science as a culture. You are incorrect. I am merely more critical of the culture than you appear to be. Science is...  [Read More]

I can, however, introduce you a Christian who believes Homosexuals are fundementally less worthy than him. And this can be directly attribitutable to the fact that this is what his 'philosophy' teaches him. A philosophy which he 'believes' has come f...  [Read More]

Where did you ever get the idea I said that Christians think that any human's are infalliable?Basically because the issue of human fallibillity is the only relevant fallibillity-issue to this argument. Thus, I felt you were probably referring to the...  [Read More]

So to take an instance of a case where a scientist, or even a group of scientists, acted in an 'un-scientific' way doesn't actually tell you that much about the core principles of science itself.That's the same defence christians have been using to d...  [Read More]

I think I may need to explain the difference between a universal moral rule, and an absolute moral rule.No, you don't. What you said was this: If you allow doctors to passively euthanize children without the parents consent you are saying that it is...  [Read More]
