Go back and look at the definition you yourself linked.If I am not mistaken, he used that definition to show that his personal experience served as empirical evidence because he observed the events he described. So we'll probably have to define "observation" now.
This is what he wrote:
Quote: [...] for the big bang we have nothing more than observation and theory which again does not fit the defination of empirical evidence [...]
If he states that observation is good enough to support his own point, to then turn around and deprecate it (wrongly in this case, but what's new?) when it supports the opposing view is disingenuous, and that is why I laid my point: to demonstrate his dishonest argumentation.

Also, I'd like an answer to my question: don't you agree that all genocide, rape, and oppression is bad?
It's a simple yes or no.
On what grounds do you identify Merrium-Websters defination inapt? Your say so?
Your douche baggery has reached it's highest point in a long time.
Of course, anyone with half a brain would understand that I wasn't criticizing their definition, but rather, your understanding of it. Your clue, since you clearly missed it, was where I wrote, "your understanding of your own definition is inapt." I've emphasized the key phrase. Hopefully, you'll understand my plain English this time around.

If not for rape we (the majority) would all still live in xenophobic clans, all related to one another in one way or another. How long before our genetic material was too corrupt? According to the example The Modern Amish population has provided about 8 generations.
Believe it or not, some of us can get laid without resorting to force, and even pick up gals from other countries.
Using genetic mixing to provide an ex post facto justification for rape as a weapon of war is only one more demonstration of the moral degeneration blind faith causes in humans.
Go on, tell us more about how violent rape is good for humans. I'm all ears.
