Dear Doctor James Tour.

For some years, I have admired your systemic debunking of scientists claiming to have created, or come close to creating, life in the laboratory.

Your claims to be a believing Christian have also interested me.

Some representations.

1. I have heard that you are severing the spines of rats as you seek to create a cure for paralysis. I put it to you that the action of severing a rat's spine amounts to a gross disrespect for life itself. As any card carrying Nazi or communist or psychopath or Fauci will tell you, it always starts with animals and finishes with people. I am appealing to you to stop violating animals as you search for cures. Find another way.

2. You have effectively pulled the rug from under the scientists claiming to have atheistically explained the origin of life. But are you yourself advocating the development and continuance of a dysfunctional science that will lead to forms of human life being generated in the laboratory for spare parts, slave labour, etc?

3. You have made claims to have had a direct experience as a young man of the presence of Jesus in your college apartment. The claim itself implies to me that you are a fantasist, or a person who was unknowingly drugged by contemporaries, or a liar, or telling the truth. Which of these postulations is correct?

Thank you for your time.

James Healy

Re: Advocacy, rats and c.

You heard wrong. I never severed the spine of a rat.
