    In weighing data, Glenn, we need to use our God-given good judgment
    and be consistent. Which makes better sense, that females left their
    tribes looking for love? Name one human tribe anywhere where this is
    a practice. Taking the women captive after killing off the males is
    a time-honored human tradition. Instead of just reacting, try
    thinking. Use your good sense. You may not be a YEC anymore, but
    you still think like one sometimes.
