ownership on a cosmic level has absolutely nothing to do with it

This is where our company parts. That has everything to do with good and evil. And that was a mighty short goodbye after your pledge. How can we miss you if you won't go away?

I said bye to the other one not you. You’re keeping logic in it rather than just spouting unrelated Verse. If you don’t want me replying to you then go ahead and stop replying to me.

Cosmic ownership doesn’t make it good or evil. So God owns the tissue sample, what’s that mean? Do we flush it because God owns it? Or do we use it because God owns it? See that’s what I mean by cosmic ownership doesn’t play into it. God owns everything, we already know that, it doesn’t change whether or not a tool acquired through evil can be used for good.

Again it all boils down to the Nazi surgery question that you guys keep avoid. The Nazis advanced surgical science about 20 years, they did all through horrendously evil experiments, but those techniques, and techniques built upon those techniques, have saved literally millions of lives. If we take this absolutist “there was evil involved in getting it so all use is evil” viewpoint that your pushing then every single surgery that’s happened in the western world in the last 50 or 60 years was evil, and every one of those people that lived because of those techniques is tainted by evil. If you realize evil isn’t like algebra, it’s not transitive then you understand that the surgeries are good, they’re saving lives and their origins don’t change that simple fact. And of course good isn’t transitive either, no amount of lives saved turns what the Nazis did good.

They did evil acts, AND good things have come from them. It’s a simple concept that doesn’t change just because God owns the scalpel.
