What on earth would be the point of cloning someone in a physical likeness of 3000 BC with no memories of that time? They would still be born and brought up in the 21st Century with 21st century values! | |

What on earth would be the point of cloning someone in a physical likeness of 3000 BC with no memories of that time? They would still be born and brought up in the 21st Century with 21st century values! Chris, Ok, so you understand that we can clone a human being, good!. And the clone, lets say King Tut as an example, would be an identical DNA copy of the King Tut that lived in Egypt thousands of years ago. So todays scientists clone the guy, and, naturally he would be named "Tutankhamun", because we know exactly who he is. And as he grows up, because everyone worldwide knows who he is, he would be raised as royalty. And he would have teachers that would teach him everything about ancient Egypt, and about his previous life. He will get very special treatment because of who he is! So by the time this cloned King Tut is about 20 years of age, he would know exactly who he is, and he would be one of the most famous celebrities in the world! He would be on every TV show and everyone would revere him. The Egyptians would crown him king! THIS WILL HAPPEN CHRIS! John. | |

Yes, we all know that the ability to clone animals has been proved and that cloning human beings is also scientifically possible, and will happen one day. Yes it is interesting that these ancient civilisations practiced rituals that promised resurrection and an afterlife. Yes it is obvious that they at their stage of knowledge would know nothing about DNA and cloning. | |

They would still be born and brought up in the 21st Century with 21st century values! Why would a Christian want to "reincarnate" King Tut? Surely it makes more sense to pump the stomach of a Catholic after they've taken Eucharist. Transubstantiation tells us that you'll have the body and blood of Christ, and surely with enough of that scientists will be able to reconstruct His DNA? ____________ I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... | |

Naw, the current stuff just has to be counterfeit as the original has been diluted too much over the past 2000 years. ____________ | |

I've already read the bible (KV version0, albeit many many years ago. Note: That's just one of very many different versions. All random multiple inaccuracies? Or across the multiple versions and across the ages, political evolution in action? Wasn't terribly impressed. If it turns out that aliens wrote that racist, misogynistic, homophobic, hate filled piece crap then I'd be mostly disappointed and depressed. All sounds very Human and highly believable for a localised history that expands outwards as the "known world" expands for the authors. In the supposed days of the Garden of Eden (nope, that's NOT Apple Computers and their walled 'garden'...), the "World" was the immediate area of the Holy Lands. Everything more distant was the unknown region called the "World of God". Until explorers ventured beyond their garden boundary... All wrapped up in the "grandiose metaphor" of the time for thus: To be able to give Stories, or even to be able to Write, demanded that being told or written to be "Something Special and Grand, or at least grandly dire"... Now translate into modern language. Still a best seller if only for the sake of longevity and monopolistic pulpit practices! Thou Shalt BUY IT ALL!! Perhaps Marketing pre-dates religion?

... So in my mind, God sounds just like any of the human generals, army leaders, kings, presidents, and tribal warlords that have ... ... Power, fear, coercion over those naming them "god". Hence the how and why for our custom of using such names in vain?... In my mind, God sounds just like us. God sound human! For God is but a Human invention...

Yes, we all know that the ability to clone animals has been proved and that cloning human beings is also scientifically possible, and will happen one day. ... Errr... Isn't that happening already many times each and every day?... As in when humans and other creatures give birth to twins. Also note all the research and results for the "nature" or "nurture" arguments surrounding how twins develop. (I consider most likely there is a combination of both, in that some things are 'pre-programmed' and the rest develops dependant upon genetic traits/predisposition and external influence/experience. ... But that is for another thread...) Keep searchin', Martin ____________ Mandriva Linux A user friendly OS! See new freedom Mageia2 The Future is what We make IT (GPLv3) | |

Wake up John. Cloning has become a science fact rather than the science fiction it once was. | |

Wake up John. Cloning has become a science fact rather than the science fiction it once was. Ahhhhh... yes, this is exactly what i have been saying.
Sirius, How is a human baby a "dumb shell", to quote your exact words? If you had noticed, just a few posts back, i explaind to Chris how it works. Its not complex, its easy to understand. This is what i said to Chris: Chris, John. | |

Sorry that won't work as by the time he reached 20, he would be too accustomed to the corruption & if the Egyptians made him their leader, it would not take him long to become another Saddam Hussein! | |

Sirius B, Your niggling over very minor points that only concern my example of King Tut. Lets try someone more recent, someone that everyone today knows and loves. Elvis Presley!! Died: August 16, 1977 Now Elvis isn't dead that long, it will be easy peasy to get a DNA sample from his grave. And everybody LOVES Elvis!! You think people won't want to hear Elvis sing those songs again! Elvis Presley WILL LIVE AGAIN! and the whole world will welcome him back with open arms. Elvis will be the King people always wanted him to be. THIS WILL HAPPEN! and it will happen very soon! We could stay here naming people all day. We could argue if these people will be accepted or rejected when they are cloned. But the fact remains, this is about to happen, and everyone was told about it in the Bible. To Quote Jesus Christ: John 3:7 "You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’" John 3:7 | |

You still don't "get it". Elvis gets cloned, would be nice as I enjoyed his music. | |

You still don't "get it". Elvis gets cloned, would be nice as I enjoyed his music. How is this complex? Are you a puppet? No your not. So why would Elvis be a puppet? When he is cloned, he can do whatever he wants. If he wants to be a baker, thats his choice. If he wants to do knitting competition's on the weekends, then thats what he will do. But in my personal opinion, knowing what the original Elvis was like, i would imagine he might want to sing an occasional song. But hay, what the heck, maybe he won't. Its irrelevant. The point is about the resurrection of the dead. The Bible said its going to happen, and i'm pointing out that, in actuality, its about to happen in the next few years! And the vast majority of the world us unaware that its about to happen. John. | |

At this point I just give up. There is simply no point in trying to discuss anything sensibly with Johnney. I have agreed with him that there seems to be evidence of past ET visits to earth, and that DNA cloning can happen. But as far as the rest of it goes I'm afraid he's off with the fairies. He has these religious fixations that he seems to genuinely believe in, and simply cannot understand why others don't agree with him. But the fact remains, this is about to happen, and everyone was told about it in the Bible. If I came back here in 20 years I'm sure he would still be saying the same thing. I find it all rather sad really. Walks off shaking ones head. | |

Yep, same here. Now I understand why the Irish were the butts of many jokes. Just a shame that we all got tarnished with the same brush. | |

Do you think its not going to happen? Is that it? You can get the ingredients of another "Jesus" just by random circumstance. No Divine Intervention or inventions needed. Does that count as being "born again"? There are ideas and passions that transcend mere cloned bodies. More significant is what whatever body does. And then also, ideas can have a body and will of their own if known by (enough) people to be exercised and given life... Keep searchin', Martin (Apologies for the backwards ID pun...
