  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I don't know too much about hard sciences and I'm not sure how to word this question... But I was wondering if any one can explain to me the difference of Cloning and God creation of life. From what I generally understand.. cloning does not create the actual cell and DNA structure that is the significant of the creation of life. And that a cell has not been replicated in a lab yet?

The difference would be the creation of the soul. Cloning will not create a soul, as far as I believe.

My wife did some cloning of rats DNA for a paper submission into a scientific journal. It was on the death cell. She actually cloned the DNA of the rat.

As far as humans go, I have not read up on the subject if they have done similiar things. I believe I have heard about cell replication.

"The difference would be the creation of the soul. Cloning will not create a soul, as far as I believe."

Then the soul comes from where? This was the approximate argument that some people in the 18th and 19th used against black people - that they didn't have a soul.

If cloning a human doesn't produce a "real" human then what? An animal that can be used as a slave?
