| Lafiel said: @ numonex ) Well, I mostly agree with you, but science of course can't "create the world", science can explain the physical aspects and principles that were/are active in the creation of the world as we know it, but it can't explain why there was enough matter (more than anti-matter) to begin with and why the 4 fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong interaction, weak interaction and gravitation) are correlated in such an optimal way for the universe to form as it is now (which essentially is the reason for us being alive). And in my opinion the bible was written to give people hope and a reason to live through dark times.. that's not very essential to us in the western world anymore, but I think there is no reason to mock that, although I agree that it's hard not to mock the people that think every line in that book is the ultimate truth and can't be doubted. Btw, some scientists try to reactive dinosaur DNA, which lies dormant in todays birds.. I guess within a century or so they might find enough parts to actually recreate a "dinosaur-like" being, although such an act would be morally highly questionable. |
I don't see why.
I don't get why people are so against "Genetic engineering."
I mean, the eugenics craze gave it a bad name, but that was because they didn't know shit about genetics.
Bringing back the dinosaurs so kids could see them? What's so bad about that.
Hell what's so bad about genetically engineering festuses?
I mean, tell me someone who has a recessive taysachs gene wouldn't be better off having their child genetically engineered rather then getting taysachs. Getting rid of all those genetic diseases and mental retardation.
Why are people against that?
Espiecally athests! It just feels like Atheists holding on to the "not messing with gods work" angle.
But hell, doesn't medicine already do that?
