Faith is the easy way out.
It is unnecessary and injurious

Amazing Fact..

The genome variability of the Cheatah is so small that scientist have suggested that at the end of the last ice-age the entire species was represented by a single breeding pair.

So much for the problems of incest.

A college professor was "arrested" yesterday by armed men dressed combat style wearing ski masks.

Here is an example [re incest], why Moral Objectivity has the advantage over other moral views. As stated, the inbreeding avoidance instinct is an evolutionary default, i.e. evolved over time. False. No such things exists. There is no mechanism in animals that allow them to discriminate and coitus ...

Actually, the notion that incest avoidance results from the biological risks of inbreeding is dubious.

Yes??? tortured and killed for pleasure?? show me the links to the evidence. Even if there is, normal human sense will indicate that is due to a perversion. Take a look at "infanticide" and "sacrifice". You area joke. Every thing you do not agree with is deranged; people who dis...
