Dan’s explanation for why people do things that are not “good” is that people are merely imperfect. This seems to be Dan's myth that explains not “good” behavior. The problem starts with the obvious question, “Why are humans imperfect?”.
Dan seems to start from the point that all humans are born “perfect”, or at least born having not having done anything not “good” yet. Somehow from that beginning, imperfection magically shows up for every single person. So, you’d think that explaining this phenomenon would be beneficial in one’s quest to label this as “reality “.
As with the Materialist/Naturalist/Darwinian worldview, the biggest hole in the philosophy is at the beginning.
There are other holes in Dan’s myth, but without an explanation for the first and biggest hole, the rest don’t matter.
Where does the imperfection come from? We know that every effect must have a cause, so what is the cause of this imperfection?
At least, in the beginning, I am going to do something that I do not often do. But in this case, I Believe that it is very important to maintain focus. Given that desire for focus, I reserve the right to abort any comments that do not specifically relate to answering the questions asked, or explaining the whole in Dan’s myth. It should go, without saying, that I am looking for an answer that lives in the realm of the objective. It should also go without saying, that I am not looking for merely a regurgitation of some unproven claim that has been made previously. I apologize for this in advance, because my normal practice is to do little or no restriction of what people say. I sincerely hope that my request will be respected, so that I don’t have to abort any comments.

Mysterious. Magical, Imperfection, Myth.
The comment accidentally got aborted, but it deserved an answer even though it technically didn’t meet the criteria.
Took a quick look at a couple of the comments and so far it’s not looking good. But I’ll wait until I have more time before I decide on abortion.
So far none of Dan's comments meet the established criteria. However there are some sections that will likely be excerpted and addressed.
My initial read is lots of demands that I answer questions, at least one
I’m able to read more of Dan's in bits and pieces. What I’m finding is that the comments don’t seem to bear any relationship to the content of the post.
6 comments so far, and not one that seems to attempt any kind of rational answer.
The gist seems to be that humans are just imperfect just because Dan’s subjective perception leads him to believe that myth.
There furthers seems to be some nonsense about perfection and that this inherent imperfection is apparently the exception to the rule that every effect has a cause.
I’ll dig deeper when I have a chance and am not on my phone, but it seems clear that Dan can’t prove his claim based on what I’ve seen so far.
If one accepts that humans were created by YHWH, then was this alleged imperfection something that we were created with?
