And While the Shitheads Praise Jesus

And While the Shitheads Praise Jesus
science keeps on doing what it does.....


http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/201...185232.htm

Quote:For the first time, scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have made early retina structures containing proliferating neuroretinal progenitor cells using induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells derived from human blood.

Quote:Many applications of laboratory-built human retinal tissues can be envisioned, including using them to test drugs and study degenerative diseases of the retina such as retinitis pigmentosa, a prominent cause of blindness in children and young adults. One day, it may also be possible replace multiple layers of the retina in order to help patients with more widespread retinal damage.

So science works on cures for blindness.... beats the fuck out of praying to the invisible sky-daddy.

Jebus stopped healing the blind because we have turned away from god.

Seems to have been a common trick....


Quote:A poor man who was blind, and another who was lame, came both together before him, when he was seated on the tribunal, imploring him to heal them [747], and saying that they were admonished (450) in a dream by the god Serapis to seek his aid, who assured them that he would restore sight to the one by anointing his eyes with his spittle, and give strength to the leg of the other, if he vouchsafed but to touch it with his heel. At first he could scarcely believe that the thing would any how succeed, and therefore hesitated to venture on making the experiment. At length, however, by the advice of his friends, he made the attempt publicly, in the presence of the assembled multitudes, and it was crowned with success in both cases

--Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus - Life of Vespasian

All hail Serapis and the Divine Vespasian!

Now, you're not suggesting that Christianity absorbed beliefs from other religions are you???
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
