One point that's often overlooked about that treaty is that it has a trivial escape clause. If we find something of sufficient value, expect a lot of signatories to execute it.

Men are more likely to take labour related jobs than women. "Overqualified" people for such jobs probably in reality actually have less relevant experience for them than their peers, making them more dangerous.

Didn't this end badly?

Well hello there intolerance, we haven't seen you in...

There's a lot of much lower hanging fruit. We'd have to give everyone a decent education, single payer, preventative health care and a decent standard of living before we could even begin to pick out eugenic traits to select for.

I don't know what you're talking about. My head is nice and cool buried in this sand.

Dolly was the first cloned mammal (from an adult somatic cell). The first animal was a frog, in 1958.

My vegetable garden is a pinch of sand mixed into horse poop. It has what plants crave.

Because your view of religion is extraordinarily narrow. Most scientists who are also religious are willing to examine and potentially reevaluate those beliefs.

I don't think you've actually asked many religious people that question, especially not people who are both religious and scientists.

Well, that's a bit of a semantic difference. If a follower of a religion is willing to change their beliefs if someone mounts a reasonable challenge to them then their beliefs are likely compatible with science. If they aren't, then there's a fundamental discord. Is the fault then with the belief system or the…

So will I. But if they want to proclaim that faith is compatible with science, it's not unreasonable to check that it actually is and call them on it if it is not.

You seem to be confusing your, specific faith with the sum of all possible faiths. It is entirely possible to hold one that could, in theory, make predictions and be tested. That your specific faith is not compatible with the scientific method does not mean all are.

Of course you won't. If you had, you wouldn't be repeating propaganda. No biotech company has ever marketed anything of the sort, but Luddites love to babble on about it anyway.

I never said it did.

Er, didn't mean to submit that. I meant to add that the Government of Canada would also agree with that statement.

Correct.

No, you really can't. I think we've found the crux of the debate.

New government, same nation.

You cannot, however, have a scientific theory that is not falsifiable.
