Is there a reasonable theorem on determining how genetically probable that a certain combination of facial, cranial, and jaw proportions/features can exist in real life?

For instance, look at pic related. This hypothetical WHITE human has a wide and robust (but also slightly slender... it's somewhere between oval and oblong) jaw, thick and branching neck, tall nose (apologies if the nostrils look too thick, I should have shaded them), thick chin (used an outline instead of a highlight for this one), wide lips, pinned ears, big cranium, and eyes that are very close to the brows (highlighted in yellow, with the orbitals [hope I got this named right] highlighted in blue).

Is such a human truly theoretically possible? Perhaps I should be looking for some haploautism expertise here but ONLY as long as it's not psuedoscientific.

/sci/sters, the jig is up

So lads, what do you think?
Be interested to hear your opinion.

In the covid data, in particular in the 25-44 age group, there are a large number of deaths there is some pretty strange stuff going on. I saw this, and felt suspicion immediately. I subtracted out the covid deaths, and was expecting to find that the "remainder deaths" didn't correlate well with the Covid deaths. That would indicate they might be caused by something else.

To my surprise, it did correlate well. However my suspicion was not waylaid. I still think there is a flat-rate increase in deaths for this age group. The graph just looks that way. And the difference in variance seems to bear me out.

The estimated age for the universe is around 13,77 billion years.

What about the radiometric dating for rocks and fossils? The measurement can be really reliable?

I'm Christian, I believe in God as the Creator, but I find hard to literally accept Young Earth Creationism postulates, and to accept every scientific explanation without some questioning.

210 square sheets of quartzite crystals are fashioned at constant thickness to as to produce a kepler triangle pyramid (think giza pyramid)

A bass drum is positioned under neath the pyramid, tuned to an octave of the shumann resonance

how would one model the electric field imparted by the drum on the piezeo electric pyramid?
