"`` As for the 'holes ' , well that could just as easily be said about the use of contraception , or the decision not to have children . Am I creating a population 'hole ' when I use a condom ? What about the high percentage of miscarriages that happen before the fourth week of pregnancy- more holes ? Is every moment that people could potentially have had a child creating holes ? Or is this just another invention ? ``"
"Okay , you are right ... we need a definition for a 'hole , ' as it is a bit of a subjective concept . Allow me to define 'hole ' like this : The void created by the intentional destruction of something already in existence . Using 'hole ' with this definition makes Alcorn 's statement ( minus the word 'terrible ' ) a true fact in the physical realm . And it precludes any of your other ideas from creating 'holes , ' since they all deal with potentiality , not reality ."
