I doubt it.
If it were, then scientists would be doing a lot better than cloning, I think.

Like I said earlier, even without my Christian upbrining, I still think my natural gut feeling (I know how much nurture affects our perceived "natural" nature, don't people start on about that) would still make me incline towards the concept of God.

By the way, a while back I was reading about some discovery about the brain with regard to how we have spirituality. It's a brain function. The atheists are like "see, we told ya!". The God people say "see, he put that function in our brains to enable us experience him."

Like I said, like Pony said, if God is there and will punish Hammurabi and co. for their transgression, it will come to pass. Believe it. If on the other hand Hammurabi and co. are the ones who are right about this, then that's the way it is.
But it's nice to have people talk about it without tearing each other's jugulars. When was the last time you saw that happen at GT? Apparently Doc and The Banning Co. are doing a good job, it's getting to people's heads.

By the way, I love people who disagree with me, coz if they got a basis for what they're saying, there's something to be learnt from them.
