“There are billions more people who know that adultery is immoral” "That all depends on culture, circumstance, and other factors." Adultery as a moral failure has had universal agreement in every society. "I am NOT arguing for adultery." Sounds like a hollow disclaimer to me. You are explicitly saying that adultery is not always immoral. So when isn't it? "I am pointing out that most have done it--" Oh the everyone is doing it so it must be ok rationalization: that worked in grade three but not so much with rational adults. "and that it has no relevance to the age of the earth," LOL! Who claimed it did??? "or the Fact of Evolution," A classic case of "assuming facts not in evidence", if there ever was one, but again who ever claimed any such thing? "or the philosophy of Objectivism." Here we finally get to the question at hand (it took you long enough). Objectivism is a moral philosophy. It is perfectly legitimate observation to note that the author of that Moral Philosophy routinely and unashamedly behaved in a manner that is universally recognized as being immoral.
