Damn Hollywood. Damn them to hell.

It's Hollywood that has gone and made everyone paranoid about these new technologies. God forbid we have the technology to do these things. Things that in our future will be paramount to our survival. You can't be a true objective scientist and be a bible-thumping christian at the same time. I have seen such "hybrids" before, and they are ridiculous. We know by the fact that carbon and radiactive materials decay over time we can figure out the age of things. Yet, some "SCIENTIST" like to think our WORLD has only been around 10,000 years. Umm, yeah. I guess everything we know is wrong. We can make computers and dvd players, fly to the moon, yet we're just too stupid and think we came from monkeys? I don't think so. What's often the case is that these people are ignorant to the facts.

Anyway. You shouldn't take Hollywood's scenarios to heart, because they are often not based in reality. For instance: cars will not explode if you shoot their gas tank, etc. Gasoline will not explode. It will just burn. That bus that jumped over the bridge in Speed.. yeah, that couldn't ever happen due to a thing called Gravity.

Ah it's such a shame. We have everything right except evolution etc!

Why not clone people? Or clone parts of people? Imagine: your liver fails.. so many people also need livers so there isn't one avaliable. But AHA! You cloned yourself (he's not "alive", not aware, etc) and you can take your brand spankin new liver and live happily ever-after.

Would a cloned person, i.e., a fully cloned person with a brain with higher functions, would this clone have a soul, if such a thing exists? How would you know? It walks, it talks, it craps and takes leaks, likes beer and porno, etc. What makes it different?

It's stupid movies like the Island and 6th Day that is gonna totally screw up this country. The religious fanatics are putting a limit on the knowledge we can attain.

Who say's we are "playing god"? Says you? I'm sorry, but I've never seen anytihng in the Bible that prohibits such things. We would be bettering ourselves.
