Default Clones

1) Do you think man has/will ever successfully clone humans? Or has God made it impossible for man, becauset hat is His job, and a human needs a spirit to survive?

2) If man did clone humans, do you think God would give the human a spirit and he/she would be a normal person, just as one who is artifically inseminated? Or maybe they would be spiritless, and so be like an animal, and competely run slave to the desires of the flesh and in turn be plain evil?

Well, if the government needs to clone the ultimate ice cream eating human, I'll donate my DNA, they can make a whole bunch of ice cream addicts, that should help bring world peace.

I will try and answer the following questions as best as I can.

I think that's a lot of scientists and others who specialize and study cloning want to try - to see if they can clone humans. We can now inseminate and transfer embroyos to other carrier mothers, and so on. They have successfully cloned animals and plants...but a human is kind of a long feet. We have so many different cells and we've got a lot of complex things going on there.

I can see where you're going.
So, I'll compare the two (not to make anyone feel bad). So, we all know God creates life and puts in its spirit, right? But then the question comes in "can man do it?"
I sometimes think that there is the possibility the body could be spirit-less, as the brain functions very well. It seems weird but I have the lingering feeling that it COULD happen, it's NOT probable. It's a 1 of out whatever big number (say 1,000,000,000?) chance that it could happen.
If it could happen, it'd be the biggest breakthrough in the science community.

But also:
Cloning is a lot like manipulating genetics and cells. In a situation where two persons get together, there really is no exact control over how your baby is going to look. It's kind of random selection, well, if you don't factor God in the mix.
Why I am saying that is because I believe they're trying to find a way to manipulate and control whatever they're trying to clone. They'll come out and say, "Oh, it is for this wonderful reason..." blah blah blah. They always say something "nice" and then someone decides to do something different.

Well, that's just my thoughts on it. Don't take it as I am being rude, just giving out my personal feelings, ya know?

Lol, thanks. That's what happens when you study science and astronomy. Well, I think the science I study is better than the science in my books.

Unhappy

If science is correct they will have to clone a lot of them to get even 1 valid true copy. That means that they will create a lot of retarded or otherwise messed up versions of whom ever they chose to clone.

I personally don't see the benifit to clone a human being. If they want to create something why not use the perfect system God has been using for thousands of years.

You will start t ohear about activists who have seen half human half... what-ever clones because "man" will not stop at cloning just humans they will instantly want to splice other creatures and human DNA to see what abominations they can make.

this is just like the sin LUST. the only way to stop LUST is to starve it and with the librals running the show it's really going to get ugly and fast.

The interesting part is even if they do clone someone they haven't created anyone. All they did was manipulate the parts He already made. Would such a creator inherit a soul from it's dna donor or just be a mass of parts for a Frankenstein type people who do not want to die? there are a lot of angles to consider there.

I really believe that there will be no soul or conscience at all. It will need t obe on life support because without a soul or spirit it will be the same as a table. No emotion and no desire not even human nature. It might breath but it wont eat, talk or do anything else. If by chance it does have a conscience it will be as a baby with no intelligence what so ever.

Something that could go wrong is a demon could posses that body... and then eeek what then.

There will never be world peace, Tyler. I say this because, look at what people are. People are greedy and selfish. Who would govern the world or even need it to be govern? I mean for world peace I assume there would be people on the higher ends of the stick still "controlling" us per se. There will always be that one person who dis likes the situation at hand or that one person who wants to be better than someone else. And that my friend, is one reason why world peace wont happen untill God himself puts New Jerusalem on the Earth.
