You are trying to limit the range of questions to your tools of inquiry. To what kinds of evidence would you refer when the question at hand is the value of human life?

I don't think I've ever praised an ontological argument although I find them interesting. Mostly I respect the cosmological ones.
Perhaps I was mistaken about you in that respect. If I was Huggy-like, I would track down every kudos you ever gave a fellow theist who used the ontological argument (SteveII comes to mind) to play gotcha. But I don’t care enough to do it. If you say you are not impressed by that line of reasoning, I’ll take you at face value. And agree.
