    SNG,

    Thanks for the reply.

    Just in case anyone is wondering, I ask this stuff because I seriously think about it and wonder what other people think, not as a launching pad for me to advance any set of beliefs.

    that's why your science threads are among the most interesting and civil on this board.

    Yep we just have to watch out for those evil scientists and headless clones that want to take over the verld . LOL Actually I don't think it would be a bad thing if science accidently knocked off about a third of the worlds population anyway as the planet is getting a bit over crowded .......

    LOL, isn't that the truth. I mean its always those mad genius types plotting to take over the world. Tetra is probably down in his basement mixing up a vat of clone warriors to do his bidding.

    Cady, excellent comments!

    Humans have always created tools. A sharp rock can be used to cut meat or to kill a rival. The problems are not the result of the tool but how the individual behind it is motivated. As far the question of the mind and heart, and the turning of such towards hatred, religion has done a great job in that area. For that reason, I see religion as a much greater threat than science and the tools it creates.
