What is a "fundamental right"

It's always seemed to me that we make very grand statements on things that should be fundamental rights but can never hope to follow through because there are way too many exceptions and caveats. If you say someone has a fundamental right to self defense, do you need to stipulate what tools...

What is a "fundamental right"

I always found the term interesting because we as a society really enjoy making proclamations of whether so-and-so is a fundamental right, but the definition of a fundamental right is quite nebulous. If we declare, as a society, that something is a "fundamental right", does that mean we should...

Burden of Proof - Does it ever lie with Atheists?

Wouldnt you investigate the question of "guilt or not guilty" since the claims are mutually exclusive, so proving one disproves the other. The fact that any people say youre guilty would lead to an investigation, but in our justice system the burden of proof then rests on the prosecutor to...

Burden of Proof - Does it ever lie with Atheists?

How are you defining truth as it relates to the Bible? That everything it says should be taken literally?

Burden of Proof - Does it ever lie with Atheists?

I think OP asked about both "However, is there every any burden on those who claim the Bible is a work of fiction or God doesn't exist?"

Burden of Proof - Does it ever lie with Atheists?

If you read Dawkins' God Delusion, he actually addresses this fairly early on. He admits that most reasonable people are agnostics to varying degrees because it is impossible to prove God does not exist same way we can't prove there is no celestial teapot or the flying spaghetti monster. One...

Do you need food?

Overall his "invention" likely will not amount to anything because we already have liquid meals. Theyre used very frequently in both inpatient and outpatient settings, often for many years. The long term effects for this kind of feeding in a healthy population is unstudied and obviously could...

Tiny Computer Tells You When You're About to Have a Heart Attack

I'm not sure the data in this article is accurate. Troponin does not rise until there is already ACTIVE myocardial damage. So it should not rise until you're already having your heart attack. Not only that, troponins often do not rise until several hours AFTER the event (not BEFORE, as the...

Do you need food?

I agree the onus is on him to prove that what he is doing is beneficial or at least safe. But we also can't randomly speculate as to possible harms without some basis in known human physiology or existant data. I think it's a little too simple to simply say "the body produces toxins, he is...

Do you need food?

Not sure why this is getting news. There are tons of patients who, for various reasons, get fed via a nastrogastric or gastric tube. They get a solution that is nutritionally dense and tends to provide the necessary caloric intake + vitamins/minerals. Common brands include Jevity, Osmolite...

would a clone of a gay individual result in a gay clone?

http://www.nytimes.com/1991/12/17/science/gay-men-in-twin-study.html This study is helpful. Certainly there is a strong genetic link but that link is not 100%.

How old were you when you joined AT? Where were you in life? Where are you now?

Coming up on 11 years. I think I was a sophmore in high school. I've since graduated high school, college, med school and now married. Time flies. ATOT was a pretty cool way for a high schooler to interact with people from all ages an walks of life.

ATOT medical question - broken / sprained foot

I'd definitely go get it checked out and have it xrayed. Assuming it is fractured, they can see the characteristics of the fracture and do various casts, boots etc to make sure it heal properly so yo udont definitely more foot problems later on. But youre also right htat if its just sprained...
