"A lot of garbage has been bandied about concerning the emotional trauma a woman suffers after she has had an abortion . There is no substantive , unbiased research on this topic but a cursory sampling seems to indicate that women who report great emotional trauma after an abortion were already mentally unbalanced , possibly subject to depression or dramatic mood swings or other mental disturbances prior to becoming pregnant and having an abortion . I am inclined to believe that such emotionally-disturbed women are incapable of making a rational choice in many instances and they probably would have suffered enormous emotional consequences whatever choice they made . ."
"Oh ! I get it ! abortion is fun , it is only a traumatic experience ( to kill your unborn son/daughter ) for `` unbalanced `` women"

"What predictions can creationism make ? Does belief a creator necessarily imply that such fossils will be found ? If evolution predicts them , and creationism makes no predictions , what will it mean if and when such fossils are found ?"
"Actually the Bible/creation makes quite a lot predictions that science has recently verified . Some examples include : that the Earth is round ( Isa . 40:22 ) ; the Earth is suspended in space without support ( Job 26:7 ) ; sea currents ; the hydrologic cycle ; the first and second laws of thermodynamics ( e.g . Isa 51:6 ) ; and the fact that Orion cluster is seperating and that the Pleadies cluster is staying together as a group ( Job 38:31 ) ; and many others . Since there was a global flood according to the Bible , we would expect there to be many fossils rapidly despoited and this is what we see in some parts of the fossil record . For example , there are some fossil beds are found in sedimentary rock , deposited by water so rapidly as to bury some creatures while still giving birth and eating food . Creationists have also made predictions such as the fact that there can be variation with in a kind , but one kind can not change into other kinds . This is what we observe now in the present , and is backed up by the fossil record . We would expect that many rocks , such as Uluru in Australia , would not be `` ordered in layers `` . Once again , this is what we observe . Creationists predicted that mutations and natural selection are down hill processes , i.e . information losing . We would also expect everything to be running down , we might also expect to know that some dinosaurs survived the flood but most likely died in the ice age that followed the flood . Several cultural groups have given very descriptive information about dinosaur like creatures . Remember , they would not have had a picture book with dinosaurs in it , the Aboriginal 's for example , had paintings of dinosaur like creatures in caves ; the amazing amount of design and complexity in the universe ; Laws of Nature . Also many other predictions . So as you can see , creationists have made many predictions ( as has the Bible ) and all are 100 % scientificly correct . IF , if such fossils are found and they are obviously transitional , then that would certainly aid the evolutionist case . But evolution is supposed to have millions of transitional fossils , they have a hand full of highly debatable ones . Btw , I am not trying to impress you by any means of your imagination . If I wanted to impress someone I could stay here and away from the internet . It is just that `` evolution `` is not as `` scientific `` as you may think ."

"What predictions can creationism make ? Does belief a creator necessarily imply that such fossils will be found ? If evolution predicts them , and creationism makes no predictions , what will it mean if and when such fossils are found ?"
"Actually the Bible/creation makes quite a lot predictions that science has recently verified . Some examples include : that the Earth is round ( Isa . 40:22 ) ; the Earth is suspended in space without support ( Job 26:7 ) ; sea currents ; the hydrologic cycle ; the first and second laws of thermodynamics ( e.g . Isa 51:6 ) ; and the fact that Orion cluster is seperating and that the Pleadies cluster is staying together as a group ( Job 38:31 ) ; and many others . Since there was a global flood according to the Bible , we would expect there to be many fossils rapidly despoited and this is what we see in some parts of the fossil record . For example , there are some fossil beds are found in sedimentary rock , deposited by water so rapidly as to bury some creatures while still giving birth and eating food . Creationists have also made predictions such as the fact that there can be variation with in a kind , but one kind can not change into other kinds . This is what we observe now in the present , and is backed up by the fossil record . We would expect that many rocks , such as Uluru in Australia , would not be `` ordered in layers `` . Once again , this is what we observe . Creationists predicted that mutations and natural selection are down hill processes , i.e . information losing . We would also expect everything to be running down , we might also expect to know that some dinosaurs survived the flood but most likely died in the ice age that followed the flood . Several cultural groups have given very descriptive information about dinosaur like creatures . Remember , they would not have had a picture book with dinosaurs in it , the Aboriginal 's for example , had paintings of dinosaur like creatures in caves ; the amazing amount of design and complexity in the universe ; Laws of Nature . Also many other predictions . So as you can see , creationists have made many predictions ( as has the Bible ) and all are 100 % scientificly correct . IF , if such fossils are found and they are obviously transitional , then that would certainly aid the evolutionist case . But evolution is supposed to have millions of transitional fossils , they have a hand full of highly debatable ones . Btw , I am not trying to impress you by any means of your imagination . If I wanted to impress someone I could stay here and away from the internet . It is just that `` evolution `` is not as `` scientific `` as you may think ."

If you 're right about the way information works , that ought n't to be possible . The crucial point is that the lock contains all the information required to open it . That information is transferred to the person trying to open it via feedback : when you get the right code , the case opens . If there was no feedback - if the person was not actually opening the case themselves but was just blindly shouting numbers for someone else to try with no idea if it was working or not - they would be none the wiser . Similarly , the nylon waste products metabolised by the nylon bug intrinsically possess all the necessary information concerning how they can be broken down .

"Since we have observed it happening in the case of the nylon bug , it can not be the obstacle you presume It 's easy to get lost in abstract concerns about 'information ' . For instance , imagine a lock with a three-digit code , like those on briefcases . It 's easy to get in if you know the code , but it 's also perfectly possible to get in without knowing the code - it just takes longer . If you 're right about the way information works , that ought n't to be possible . The crucial point is that the lock contains all the information required to open it . That information is transferred to the person trying to open it via feedback : when you get the right code , the case opens . If there was no feedback - if the person was not actually opening the case themselves but was just blindly shouting numbers for someone else to try with no idea if it was working or not - they would be none the wiser .

"Way to miss the entire point , Clerisian . My point was that is it a horrible experience for many women , and that I wish we could strive towards a society where abortions were no longer needed .
