TOZ: I'm confused. Have you mistaken my assertion to mean that there is no way the fetus could know about "Mom?" Or is this more about my assertion that the argument in itself is stupid and shouldn't have really taken place?

What it is, is a grotesque framing of the creationist "argument" into something that makes no sense. Fetuses can detect the world outside, but they have no experiential reference for "birth". Hell, within their frame of reference, Mom is not a separate entity from themselves. The umbilicus is part of their body, the placenta is part of their body, and the womb is part of their body too! There is no experiential reason for a fetus to draw any sort of line between itself and the mother, because for as long as they've had two neurons to rub together they were part of the same contiguous body.
The creationist herp derp is that atheists are idiots because god(s) are all around them and they refuse to believe. But that's fucking retarded and people who believe that shit are mentally deficient. The fetus example is simply extremely stupid on every possible level. Of course fetuses believe in "Mom", because they believe they are Mom, because they fucking are. And of course they believe in stuff outside the womb, because they can feel and hear it. And none of this is anything like Gods and Heavens because those are things that can't be detected.

Seriously... We've broken this down into what fetuses know and believe? So fucked up...
My son makes me laugh. Maybe he'll make you laugh, too.

Did you assert something? I thought we were posting pictures, and that one went with yours.Cynic wrote:TOZ: I'm confused.

You should gain sanity for finding out that the problems of a region are because there are fucking monsters there.

That's only because it's the DC Universe.
In Marvel, they'd have been back several times by now . .

Peculiar properties of spacetime ensure that the perception of the magnitude of Soon is fluid and dependent, not on an individual's time-reference, but on spatial and cultural location. A marketer generally perceives Soon as a finite, known, yet unspeakable time-interval; to a fan, the interval appears greater, and may in fact approach the infinite, becoming Never. Once the interval has passed, however, a certain time-lensing effect seems to occur, and the time-interval becomes vanishingly small. We therefore see the strange result that the same fragment of spacetime may be observed, in quick succession, as Soon, Never, and All Too Quickly.
mrrr.
People don't stay dead in comics period. Marvel is the one that's just hyped up more.
Case in point, Hal Jordan, Superman, Jason Todd (Robin and later Red Hood), Batman, Metamorpho, Flash, Terra, Green Arrow, shit every single other hero or villain.
I mean one of Batman's more cooler villains Ra's al ghul's whole shtick is that he has the secrets of the Lazarus pits.
Oh yeah, Superboy, Alexander Luthor, and I think there was a really bad universe-wide series in DC called Blackest Night that killed and zombified a lot of characters.. Haven't read that one yet. Apparently I read the sequel Brightest day. I had thought this was the prequel but huh...
