Natural Science 301 Guidelines

This is an open forum area for all members for discussions on all issues of science and origins. This area will and does get volatile at times, but we ask that it be kept to a dull roar, and moderators will intervene to keep the peace if necessary. This means obvious trolling and flaming that becomes a problem will be dealt with, and you might find yourself in the doghouse.

As usual, Tweb rules apply. If you haven't read them now would be a good time.

      There is also how you compute premature births. Is a baby born alive(for the next minute or so) at 20 weeks a miscarriage statisitc or an infant mortality statistic?
      If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!

        Probably not, though it'd depend on which country or countries the report referred to. A quick browse for statistics suggests that some countries have more infant deaths than abortions, and some have less.
