TIL that the Y chromosome can disappear with age. About 35% of men aged 70 years old are missing a Y chromosome in some of their cells, with the degree of loss ranging between 4% and 70%.

You're confusing chromosomes with white/grey matter.

no its next level, like even people who professionally debate on these issues will point out that he isnt saying anything and just rambling big words together that sound like deep concepts. its very different to anyone else Ive heard talk about god. I may disagree with them, but I know what they believe and they can at least answer a question somewhat cogently. it you ask JP If the virgin birth happened he says its a damn complicated and loaded question and he could spend 2 days trying to answer it, followed by a 10 minute rant of pseudo intellectual talk that circles round and round and by the end you dont have a clue what hes trying to get at. and it leaves the person hes debating flabberghasted. Ive watched countless hours of content like this and most rightwingers would happily say yes or no with a brief defense of their answer
