::::::: The point is this: even on the [[Titanic]], the rarest event imaginable, there were plenty of lifeboat spaces after the volunteers gave up their spots. This underscores how the [[lifeboat problem]] is much a fantasy as a UFO invasion would be.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 13:06, 9 December 2007 (EST)

::::::::How can you say that there were plenty of lifeboat spaces after volunteers gave up their spots? Out of nearly 2300 people on board, approximately 1500 died when the ship foundered. Are you suggesting that those 1500 people all voluntarily gave up their chance to be on a lifeboat so that the 700 could be saved? [[User:SSchultz|SSchultz]] 22:21, 9 December 2007 (EST)
The strongest argument here is still that the lifeboat problem is based on lack of faith - when you let someone die to let someone else survive, rather than believing that God will either save you all. I believe that in such a situation, God is the one who should decide who lives and dies. The whole argument is based on lack of faith and even though it opens up some very interesting discussions, it's a horrible way to learn "morals" to children in public schools.
