Sure is dark under that bridge.
Interesting. So your version of God is that He really is a
misogynistic sadist. Something else in common with the Taliban. Oh,
wait. You and the Taliban share the *same* God, differing primarily
in the choice of Prophets. Happy mother's day! I know she suffered
with you.
You'll have a sermon now about pelvic bones and big heads.
But that's not the reason Y.O.O's mum howled in pain.
Well it's not easy giving birth to "John Merrick" you know.
But nice one Adman, I totally agree.
Genesis is certainly accurate that human women experience pain during
childbirth. That's because it was written AFTER THE FACT - that is,
the people who wrote it already knew that women experienced pain
during childbirth, so they put that obvious, well-known fact in the
book. This proves absolutely nothing.
Beyond that, you keep repeating your favorite fallacy: "If humans
have any features that are not also shared by other non-extinct
species, then evolution is wrong." If you actually knew what the
theory of evolution SAID, you would stop making this embarrassing
mistake.
How sure are you that no other animals suffer pain during childbirth?
Any citations to back that up?
> About everything.

So if a book is correct about some well-known fact, it's correct about
everything? Great! According to the Harry Potter books, kids like
candy. This is true. Therefore the Harry Potter books are right about
EVERYTHING!
The pain of childbirth is an observation, not a prediction.
>We see no evidence of animals having the same type of pain that human women
>have during child birth.
How many other animals have a brain/body ratio anywhere near humans and
a pelvis which has evolved to allow upright walking? If you said
"none" then you would be correct.
The problem humans have giving birth is a consequence of the tradeoff
between brain size, a pelvis that will work well for walking upright and
ease of giving birth. A rather nasty tradeoff.

The female hyena gives birth through her clitoris.
"[Androgen] also causes female reproductive organs to grow. A lot. Her
clitoris, which contains the birthing canal, protrudes 7 inches from her
body. "Imagine giving birth through a penis," said study co-author Kay
Holekamp of Michigan State University. "It's really weird genitalia, but
it seems to work. Although giving birth through a 'penis' isn't a trivial
problem." The clitoris' birth canal is only an inch in diameter, and the
tissue often tears as a 2-pound cub squeezes through the narrow opening.
The rip can be fatal, as evidenced by the high death rate for first-time
mothers."
http://www.livescience.com/animals/060426_hyena_cubs.html
What did the ur-hyena do to deserve this? Piddled on God's rug?
<snip>
Never seen anything born, have you? I have and in warm-blooded
creatures the female usually is not having fun. Hens pass eggs fairly
easily but they do not seem to enjoy it. And I have had domestic cats
come to me and yowl in pain during labor. I dare say they needed the
comfort of being near a trusted person to help get through delivery.
Mark Evans
You cat is not representative of all cats, or all animals for that fact
It's true. I also remember reading about how the elephant got his
trunk. Y'see, the crocodile grabbed the baby elephant's nose and
pulled and pulled... Oh, wait, maybe that was Kipling instead.
But you must be right, because it would be impossible for this to have
been written *after folks noticed women typically had more problems
with birth than other animals.
Did you know that Paul Bunyon's ox, Babe, dug the Great Lakes for
watering holes? Or isn't that ancient enough? How about the Pillars of
Hercules (Heracles) - they predate Christianity, so their reputed
origin *must be reliable.

Watch a hyena give birth. You are such a big fan of pain, I'm sure
you'll want to.
Besides, Genesis couldn't be more wrong about the flood bit. Or the

And you yourself argue consistently that the rest of the Bible is

Good grief man. Not *all* women have extreme pain in
childbirth.
But what if you are misreading the text? What if it
means that if you let your desire be for your husband
alone and if you let him rule over you, THEN you will
have your pain in childbirth multiplied.

Fascinating. Pain and death in childbirth is God's design.
Which of the following is, or is not, evidence for design- and
why:
1. Genetic similarities in human and chimp are mirrored in morphology.
In fact, we have the same bones, the same blood vessels, the same
nerves, the same muscles, the same blood types. Is this evidence for
common design?
2. Mammalian hearts and avian hearts are both double pumps that
service complementary circulatory systems, yet the developmental
pathways taken to arrive at these virtually identical structures
differ in some
significant respects. Is this evidence for common design?
3. Prolactin is found in a wide range of vertebrates. It is an ancient
hormone that serves significantly different functions in different
animals. In some birds it helps regulate molting; in salmon it has a
role in homing behavior; in mammals it regulates milk production. The
hormone has the same basic structure in all groups mentioned. Is this
evidence
for common design?
4. Wings of birds and wings of insects arise from totally different
developmental pathways yet serve the same function- flight. Is this
evidence of common design? Feathers in birds are also thermoregulatory
organs, and organs of communication. Is this evidence for common
design? Scales in butterflies serve one of the same functions as
feathers in birds- coloration. Is this evidence for common design?
5. Hair in mammals is derived from the protein keratin. It is produced
in follicles in the dermis. Hair serves several functions in mammals,
such as thermoregulation, communication, camouflage and sensory input.
"Hairs" in plants are not derived from keratin. They are often
epidermal outgrowths and might serve to reflect light, discourage
predators, absorb water, or even be sensory structures as in the Venus
Fly Trap. "Hairs" in arthropods are usually chitinous and serve a wide
variety of functions, but most often they seem to be antipredator
structures. They are often outgrowths of a single epidermal cell. Is
this evidence of common design?
(Don't forget the 'why' part!)

We have heifers who cry from pain when they have trouble calving.
They shed huge tears while they struggle and while we help them by
pulling the calf out, or by reaching in and untangling the calf's
legs or whatever. [M]adasshole is just, as usual, full of shit.

No wonder you fall hook line and sinker for the theory of evolution.

The DNA that controls development of the mammalian and avian hearts is
different. So far we have identical DNA giving rise to identical
structures as evidence for common design (the chimp and human) and now
we have different DNA giving rise to similar structures as evidence
for common design.

Now we see that different DNA giving rise to totally different

In other words, everything is evidence of design; nothing alive or
once alive or part of a living system on the planet is not evidence of
design.

It was formed in answer to "why does it hurt so much to give birth?" So
they came up with a story. But why do we ask that question? Cows seem to
poop their calves out in leisure, seemingly without much of a moo at all.
> How sure are you that no other animals suffer pain during childbirth?
> Any citations to back that up?
I havent personally seen very many animals giving birth, except on film.
Do they squirm, scream, holler and act like they're pregoconstipated?
Damaeus
Do some research. Find out how spotted hyenas give birth. Then tell us
that humans have it bad.

Fine. Now explain how and why.

Ah, yes. Written in the days when people knew what was possible and
what wasn't, when those who wrote down texts always spoke literal
truth, except when they didn't.

I thought god knew everything. Why would he need
a prototype?
Perhaps he *doesn't* know everything?
Your god seems to be somewhat strange. Gods command people
by either being loving or being feared. Sadistic gods are
rarely loved. If you are right about god making childbirth
painful for all women simply because god was peeved at Eve
(did he not perceive what she would do ahead of time?) makes
him a sadist.
If that turns you on, so be it.
I could not worship out of fear. If god feeds on my pain,
there's little I can do about it except to despise him.
That bit of freedom evidently still exists since I've not
been struck dead recently.
>Yes, some have an epidural.
Sure. But I meant something else. Some women bear children
with less pain than others. It's a complex business, like
most everything else in biology.

How do you know that the pain is different? Ever been a

And what has any of the stuff below got to do with your
argument?

Why you were so enthusiastic before.

Y.O.O gets it all the time.

You should see the loose threads he's tangled up with trying
to tell the world that a "disk is a circle",
and a "computer & the language" are actually "the language" itself.
> I thought god knew everything. Why would he need
> a prototype?
God does know everything.
He knows that you need small steps to comprehend.
Read some of the other posts in this thread for information
on that.
Well then. He's just like the rest of us in that.
We were created in his image, why would he NOT be like us or us like him?
They do not have the same type of pain humans have
Come on spinuloid. You can do better than that. Toss in a few gay
references. Or is that still a sore point?
Chris
You and PaulG make such an issue of when and when not a metaphor is being
used.
Did not take ANY English Lit in your life at all?
Shakespeare is loaded with switching back and forth between real
descriptions and metaphors in his works as well as thousands of other
authors.
Do not blame ME if you are an illiterate and simply lack the perception to
tell the difference when an author is and is not using metaphor.
Too bad for you.
Nothing sexist about it. Nasty, yes. I'm not a nice person. Maybe I'm
a jerk. But I'm NOT (M)Adman and that makes me happy. I would probably
be less annoyed by him if I thought he was sincere. However, he is
either one of those people who knows damn well that evolution happened
but he thinks hoi poloi are better off not knowing or he's simply
doing this for fun.
Was I supposed to be trying to please or impress you? Nothing personal
but you aren't, to quote the songwriter, always on my mind. If I'd
known there were civilized people watching.

He is also smart enough to test his creations.
dontcha just love it when a creationist lectures others on the
inability to differentiate metaphors from literalist texts...
kind of like a pimp complaining about the breakdown of traditional
morality...
It is because the insult is so inherently _meaningless_ that I use it.
I have given up engaging him in conversation, yet I want him to
understand that my contempt for him and still growing. If his mother,
and I hope she is alive and well, ever heard about this I would be
very sorry and apologize.
I will think of something else to say.
Your assertion is not proof. It isn't even an argument. It is just
you, with no credentials in ANY field, saying so. I don't know if what
you are claiming is even subject to proof but we have no obligation to
accept it just because you say so.
At least one person here raises livestock, I have seen his flock and
his dogs, etc, and he disagrees with you. He might be wrong but the
smart money is on his opinion. I have never deliberately caused pain
to a dog or a cat but I have trained dogs and owned cats and dogs for
many years. I think you are wrong also.
And here you are. Running around post to post saying the same thing about
that bad ole` adman. Just as one would expect a troll to do.
You could just as easily give an opinion on the actual topic. For a change.

Yeah. Since the speed of light is a consideration, the universe could
have finished expanding about six thousand years ago and it's taking us
this long to figure out that we have been gods, unwittingly pretending to
be mortal and dying from it. Sort of funny when you think about it.
Damaeus
I corrected your IDiotic and insane claim. You're welcome.
Andre
I was joking. I have been watching Coupling, a very funny BBC comedy
recently where Susan, who is about to give birth, screams at her
boyfriend "Get me a f****** epidural".
Wombat
Yes, we have. You always stop exactly here- no explanations ever
given.
You "explained" that the phenomena I mentioned were evidence for
design by mere assertion- no data presented, no methods described. The
best you could do was an analogy, and often a faulty one.
Now you claim DNA itself is proof of common design. Great- tell us
why.
Just pointing out it's ubiquitous is _not_ evidence, you know. That
rationale is consistent with too many other interpretations, the most
important one being common descent. Show us dependable evidence for
design that's not consistent with other explanations.
Remember that you have to account for identical DNA producing
identical results used for similar purposes; similar DNA producing
similar results used for different purposes; different DNA producing
similar results used for similar purposes; and different DNA being
used to produce different results used for different purposes.
According to you, it's ALL evidence of design. Your model needs to
include it all, and at least make a start at explaining it all.
Have at it.
Chris
You're wrong. The vast majority of mammals have exactly the same
nocioception system. Same nocioceptors, same neurotransmitters. You
don't know anything.
Chris
I get that a lot as well.
You lose an argument and think changing the subject
makes you look smart.
Are you saying that God has a physical form then?
Weird. He went through it once with me, and shut the fuck up.
Yeah. Could have a bit of an edge when it comes to perception, but
human enough. And being a god who wants to play forever in the
universal playground, he certainly doesn't want to destroy us.
Damaeus
As long as you're truthfully making it clear that you're blatantly
changing the words in my posts to alter their meaning, that's fine. I'll
just refer everyone to this post as needed as my proof that you do this.
It's proof that you were thinking about my ideas incorrectly, too, a
thinking that has apparently extrapolated to direct manipulation of my
words, for whatever reason.

Why don't you react to the posts about hyena's?
