I think humanity has some life in it yet. I tell you what, if the end times are so near then there is absolutely nothing you can do to stop it, so you might as well live life the best you can, and stop worrying about it. Me? I doubt that we're near the end times.
Jhessel - how can we possibly create half-angel babies? The entire point of your posts is confusing me.

Transgenics moving mankind towards 'enhancing the human species'
The successful application of such technologies encourages human mutation and other assassinations of reason. But across Europe where the scientific community has aggressively moved into the mostly unregulated field of transgenics, concerns have been voiced by researchers themselves over breaching the species barrier. Nobody knows for sure what pestilence the mutations could spawn.
The Bible tells us that God requires humans, animals, and plants to reproduce "after their own kind." Biblically speaking, species integrity, including the idea of male and female, is required by God. Transgenics not only violates this order but opens a Pandora's box to a molecular biological nightmare.
Transgenics may also violate Biblical laws concerning bestiality (sex between humans and animals). Leviticus 18:23 says "it is confusion," and the punishment for participating in such intercourse was death. The Hebrew word confusion (tebel) means a "violation of nature or of God's divine order."
Today, Levitical code surpasses the physical act of intercourse and speaks to the issue of 'confusion' of the species. By this standard transgenically altered humans are no longer human at all. In fact, we don't know what they are. We cannot know because introducing animal genes into human DNA creates an unclassified mutation outside the 'divine order.'
Additionally, molecular biologists classify individual genes by function. Nobody knows for sure if a gene's coding will function the same way from one species to another. Interspecies differences could measurably effect the gene's protein interactions, altering hereditary traits for generations to come and ultimately producing animal characteristics within humans.
One cannot help wonder what apocalyptic horrors transgenics could unleash, but there is no doubt that for humanists, this is evolution in reverse and a violation of nature. For those who subscribe to the science of catastrophe, it's Jurassic Park. For believers in God it is an assault on His creative genius.

This thread is more fun than those tabloid newspapers the grocery store sells!
No kidding, eh? It's downright surreal.
(I wonder if jhessel actually believes what he writes.)

I feel sure he's quite serious and I didn't really mean that post to be perjorative sounding.
I really do enjoy reading about peoples' more unusual beliefs and unusual events; even more so these days, now that I don't get out much.

: Crowds are flocking to Indian temples to see a Muslim baby with a 'tail' who is believed to be the reincarnation of a Hindu god. The 11-month-old boy has been named Balaji or Bajrangbali, another name for monkey-faced Lord Hanuman. He is reported to have a 4in 'tail' caused by genetic mutations during the development of the foetus.
Iqbal Qureshi, the child's maternal grandfather, is taking Balaji from temple to temple where people offer money to see the boy. Mr Qureshi says the baby has nine spots on his body like Lord Hanuman and showed them to journalists, reports Indian newspaper The Tribune.
for more info on the corruption of the human gene pool by the fallen angels go here (bible and book of enoch)
--- Yep. A full grown tail without fur. Now I have to wonder how these genes got into the human gene pool since we know that we did not evolve from the animals. I think that Gen. 6. and the Book of Enoch explain in detail what happened. No oneone earth can say that this baby is fully human. As Christians we should not listen to the evolutionists explination that this gene is a result of evolving from animals. God did not create man from the animals. Only evolution promotes this myth.
"And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. " Gen 6:1-4
"And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and 6 fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones." Enoch 7:4,5,6
Thank you for this thread jhessel. I find it a very interesting topic. I am not sure I agree with all your conclusions but I am open minded enough to think that are perhaps some things which I don't understand or know about the world. Certainly any serious bible student has struggled with the passages you refer to in this thread attempting to make sense out of them.
I myself, think you make some very valid points but am skeptical of your overall conclusion.
