Recently, scientists have learned the following:

But the then the article goes on to talk about 4 MONTH old babies. This is
HARDLY "a few days old". Of course, maybe the definition of a 'few' has
changed since I was a kid. I know a lot of people use 'a couple' to mean
what a few used to mean. Personally, i would say 120 days is 'many' more
than just a few.
now dealing with a 14 day old and starting to believe in a capricious,
malevolent old-testament G_d,
