Jesus Christ never set up a human as ‘Vicar of Christ’.

Such is your own personal interpretation of Scripture.

[Mr Rogers]

Agreed. Barrett is wrong. He uses words differently than anyone else, so his numbers shouldn’t be used without careful explanation of what they mean.

"We're not even asking the right questions yet," admits Rev. Nicanor Austriaco, a bioethicist at Providence College.

Things like this could come in such waves as to overwhelm mankind.

Cameron, for example, calls Kurzweil "a man of genius" and "no mere academic theorist,"

Several years ago, a team of British scientists announced that they were able to cull unfertilized ova from the ovaries of aborted female fetuses. They hailed this accomplishment as a breakthrough for infertile couples. Mercifully, psychologists intervened before they proceeded with their experiments. In resolving one problem, they had created another. When children born from these ova reached their teen years, they would likely make inquiries into their genetic heritage, only to learn that their birth mother had been aborted.

This is absolutely sick! It is science based on greed rather than love.

Those who fear God, do. They have arrogantly elevated themselves to that of gods who will be immortal. Who would ever want to spend eternity on this planet!
