Ooh, we could civilly drag this out for ages -** I think lemondiesel isn’t quite (any longer?) so opposite to Catholic/theistic ideology **as materialistic antitheist types such as hooding trees (who I’m cheerfully priding myself on beating off with blatant reverse psychology :rolleyes:)
I agree with many things you guys discuss on this forum, and I even disagree with some of the anti theist on this forum as well. I just see a big difference between religion, science, and spirituality.
 
I would like to share this article with you guys, and please, do not bash me. I am in no way trying to disprove/prove, argue/agree with any of you. I am just wondering what religious people thoughts are about this.

Please, take the time to read it, because it is actually very, very interesting, and well, historic.
“defining moment in the history of biology and biotechnology”, Mark Bedau, a philosopher at Reed College in Portland, Oregon, told Science.

Could this suggest the Almighty is even less impressive than previously thought.

Maybe the wrong forum to ask, but could this also bring the issue of maybe this is what happened to us?
ne day a group of scientists got together and decided that man had come a long way and no longer needed God. So they picked one scientist to go and tell Him that they were done with Him.

The scientist walked up to God and said, “God, we’ve decided that we no longer need you. We’re to the point that we can clone people and do many miraculous things, so why don’t you just go on and get lost.”

God listened very patiently and kindly to the man and after the scientist was done talking, God said, “Very well, how about this, let’s say we have a man making contest.” To which the scientist replied, “OK, great!”

But God added, “Now, we’re going to do this just like I did back in the old days with Adam.”

The scientist said, “Sure, no problem” and bent down and grabbed himself a handful of dirt.

God just looked at him and said, “No, no, no. You go get your own dirt!”
👍

I’m betting that I am not the first to make that sort of a statement. However, I couldn’t let the opportunity pass, and I am on my way for a few.

Probably makes the point better than most of us, and certainly I, ever do!
