"If you look at the research, God is the world's busiest abortionist." Dr. Abby Hafer
The Not-So-Intelligent Designer (With Dr. Abby Hafer)
After listening to Dr. Abby Hafer's interview with Seth Andrews... that is the quote that stuck with me. She goes into more detail about what happens in the female reproductive system to bring light the fact that about a quarter of fertilized embryos never make it to being a baby. And that doesn't even include human initiated abortions.
I downloaded her book yesterday "The Not-So-Intelligent Designer" and have made it to Chapter 7 already. It seems simple when one has access to the data available, that some things would just make more sense. Dr Hafer provides incredible data on the human body and why that data would bring into question the idea of an "intelligent designer".
Why would a God, marketed as Love, put human testicles on the outside of the male body? Dr. Hafer refers to other warm blooded critters that have them in side the body cavity in not such a vulnerable place. So it's not that it wouldn't have been possible, had men been built by an all powerful deity. It just brings into question the compassion of that all powerful deity.
"... the bird's testicles are safe inside him, where a vulnerable organ ought to be. So -- does the Designer like birds better than us? Or did God make birds in his image? In other words, is the Designer a turkey?" Dr Abby Hafer
But does the data matter to the average believer in an "Intelligent Designer"? Maybe it's why most stay clear of the data. It would be far beyond their comfort zone if what really matters is their belief in "God".
