You don't win a prize. the 72% number probably came from a survey that included the "scientists" at Answers in Genesis 
85% of the National Academy of Sciences apparently: http://www.stephenjaygould.org/ctrl/news/file002.html
So they were both off by 13%.

If you can, may I assume that believers are more moral? Are the scientists the ones you mention the makers of spermicide corn? There are a lot of scientists I would rather not trust, they push limits and mess with stuff far too complex and unknown to be safe. And if they have a conflict of interest, and want to make money instead of right...I have to agree with you on this one. Scientists are messing around with experiments that could be costly to the human race. They are now trying to duplicate life form with their mixtures of chemicals. in 50 years we may see mindless robots wondering the earth with no soul, created by men that don't believe in God. We have scientific proof that the human brain was Hardwired with a "God-gene" during creation. Modern scientists are trying to duplicate human life (without) this God-Gene implanted in their brain. If it was up to science. Mankind will be roaming the earth with no mother or father, but they are a creation of a science experiment. That's frickin scary. Hopefully I won't be around to witness this event.

Yes - Define "smarter", it isn't all about IQ averages. Intelligence isn't something that easy to define - I also believe that intelligence isn't necessarily about knowledge for instance - it's more about how to get knowledge, the working it out. Because memorizing a load of facts like an encylopedia - IMO is not intelligence. So yeah define "smarter". EvF (August 19, 2009 at 9:44 am)The_Truth Wrote: I have to agree with you on this one.

Creating living matter out of non-living matter is what they are trying to do. These experiments cast light on how life first appeared on our planet. Quote:We have scientific proof that the human brain was Hardwired with a "God-gene" during creation.Erm...no. Current studies suggest that humans may have an area of the brain that produces beliefs in higher powers, but this is not "proof" of anything of what you are talking about. The theory is that having these beliefs was an evolutionary advantage, as it caused us to take less risks and ultimately bond more as a society. Quote:If it was up to science. Mankind will be roaming the earth with no mother or father, but they are a creation of a science experiment.Erm...no. If you are talking about cloning, then one could make the argument that a clone has the same mother and father as the original copy. Other than that, I don't know of any plans to "create" human life from scratch; creating simple cells from scratch is difficult enough. Quote:Hopefully I won't be around to witness this event.You won't be; mainly because there are no plans to do any of the things you cited. I'm glad you tackled that before I had to. wow...just...wow |
