Is there finally an argument for the existence of God?

As far as slavery goes, there are an estimated 50 million people worldwide in slavery, which is much more than any other point in known history,

There are also more total people. So percentage rather than raw numbers are important. Do you actually think that slavery is, per capita, more common today that 500 or 1000 years ago? Hell, it’s even sanctioned in a very popular book from two thousand years ago

@Kevin_Levites

and about half are sex slaves.

There were plenty of sex slaves in the past…frequently, they were not counted as enslaved because they were merely female (read the word merely with intended sarcasm). Are you aware of any groups from two hundred years ago like Amnesty International?

@Kevin_Levites

but what about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch that is killing off whales (and other sea life) left and right because of our refusal to inconveinence ourselves by using slightly more expensive biodegradable products in place of plastics?

Is anything being done about it? Yep. Was anything being done about it fifty years ago? Would a company like 4Ocean have existed then? Would there be companies creating machinery that cleans it up a few short decades ago?

As I said in my original response on the subject, it’s critical to look at this from a long historical perspective…hundreds, even thousands of years. Is this maturation rapid? No, sadly it isn’t. But the more I study history, the more it is apparent to me that we are getting better.
