    What type of corn are you referring to? I’m not familiar with the history of corn, but what you’re saying doesn’t match my experiences with any variety

    Dent corn is used as livestock feed, and is generally considered the less edible version. Sweet corn can be eaten by humans raw. Basically every variety I’ve ever seen can be eaten if boiled long enough

    Considering the human eye is basically backwards, I always found it funny people would try to use it as an example of an intelligent creator

    Like we seriously have all the working bits in the path of light, permanently blocking our vision in spots. We just hide it with some post-production brain magic, and I’m supposed to believe that’s evidence of an intelligent creator?

    Plenty of “supernatural” things exist.

    We can fly through the air with nothing connecting us to the ground at all - flight was as fantastical as magic to early humanity.

    Psychic powers? We can already silently communicate across the world in fractions of a second - is that not functional telepathy?

    Chaos magic? We have the ultimate earth rending fireball spell. We call it nuclear arms.

    To repurpose a saying about alternative medicine: Supernatural phenomenon proven to exist is just science

    Which is fucked up. Being the sperm donor isn’t what makes you a father. Spending time with your kid, teaching them how to be a functional human in the modern world over decades is what makes you a father

    Then again, with how much of the older generation men are, he may have acted like his role was finished after conception and the next two decades are the sole responsibility of the mother
