'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House “Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom "If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech  (March 9, 2014 at 2:52 pm)Bad Wolf Wrote:(March 9, 2014 at 2:49 pm)Miss Meng Wrote: The petri dish.

I can hear the cogs whirring in her head.

I can buy a new petri dish. Oh, no. You have misunderstood me. I wasn't asking whether you would drop a baby or a petri dish. I was asking whether you would drop a baby or a zygote. The zygote just happens to be in the petri dish. Do you know what a zygote is? I'll tell you. Its a fertilized human egg. According to you, its a baby. So now, if you had to drop one of them, which one would it be?

Oh well, I guess we won't ever get an answer. But I suspect I know the answer that we would have gotten from her. I also suspect I know what she would have done in my hypothetical situation.
