> [@ASL\_v2.0](#): > > Anyway, Spock, with a Vulcan father, cannot be “half human” according to such a worldview. At best, he is fully Vulcan with certain human-esque impressions from the time he spent in his mother’s womb. Like clay taking on the shape of a mold: take it out and it retains that impression (although perhaps subject to modification) and maybe some particulate matter rubbed off on it (like, tainted it or speckled it), but it’s still clay when it comes down to it. And so Spock must be a Vulcan, as must his children, and his children’s children’s children. Yabbut, what if his children are girls, and they have babies with human fathers? Are _those_ children humans? Or do we just revert to the “one drop” paradigm at that point? ---

> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > Are _those_ children humans? Okay, fine. His _seed_ (if you believe in that sort of thing) will only ever be Vulcan. (Normally I’d object to such nitpicking, but then pseudoscience is all about nitpicking, so it’s fair game). ---

I know he likes having evil people around to fuck with us, but would it kill him to blink away the worst of the worst? He can always change his mind down the road, and blink them back into existence, as per a “plan”. ---

> [@Son\_of\_a\_Rich](#): > > … would it kill him to blink away the worst of the worst? Don’t you understand? He did. 6000 years ago when man fell, He blinked us away—all of us—away and out of the Garden for our wickedness. > [@Son\_of\_a\_Rich](#): > > He can always change his mind down the road, and blink them back into existence, as per a “plan”. LOL! Did you not _read_ the Bible when you were in school? And I quote: > [@John 3:16](#): > > For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. That’s the beauty and the glory of the Word! He _has_ “changed His mind” and “blinked us back” _from death_. Jesus is _knocking at the door_. All we have to do is open it and let Him into our heart! Just close your eyes and go to Him in prayer, like this: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/3Vo7c9gvVL0/maxresdefault.jpg "Jesus Saves Rick and Morty") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Vo7c9gvVL0&t=10) ---
