Last Sunday at the Church of which I am a member we discussed 'laminin', the protein that bonds the cells together in the body. Amazingly it is formed in the shape of a cross. Not merely because it represents an icon of the Christian faith but it represents a bonding of the body, of which the apostle Paul states - the Church is like the human body in its function and the unity of the Church is bonded by the Cross of Christ - Christ died for our sins. That is what the message of Easter is really about. We are free of our past sins and the resurrection gives us life from our condemned and dead past.

The God of all Creation does not limit the human mind from its discovery. The spurious claim the Christianity inhibits discovery is a delusion of atheists who want to act immorally - outside the boundaries of its created design. For example they want to believe some males' penis were meant to be inserted into male anuses and call it marriage. Marriage is when two sets of genes of the same species come together to procreate according to the nature of the species design. They want to splice perfectly healthy fertilised human embryos and insert them into deformed human cells and call that science. Life is sacred and not for experementation. It may be possible but not moral. God replaces the dead by natural procreation, persons with new new life and potential. We can nuture and care for them without resorting to unethical science. Atheists see no ethical or design boundaries and life is for experementation - hence the rise in abusive drug taking and hoplessnes and violence among our youth. [There is no purpose to life]

Philo: "...'laminin', the protein that bonds the cells together in the body. Amazingly it is formed in the shape of a cross. Not merely because it represents an icon of the Christian faith but it represents a bonding of the body, of which the apostle Paul states - the Church is like the human body in its function and the unity of the Church is bonded by the Cross of Christ - Christ died for our sins. That is what the message of Easter is really about."

Bizarre. But no more bizarre than believing Jesus came back to life 3 days after being executed.

"Marriage is when two sets of genes of the same species come together to procreate according to the nature of the species design."

According to whom, outside your strange little sect, Philo? Marriage is a legal contract between two people who want to share their lives. You're talking about meiosis, but that's got nothing to do with "species design", except in the heads of fundies like you.

Amazing, philo. In one sentence you say that the perception of religion limiting science is a delusion and then go on to demonstrate exactly why that perception exists! The vast majority of scientists who work in stem cell research and with embryos are not unethical at all. "Life is not for experimentation"- so much for the field of biology or medicine.

And BTW, laminin is not formed in the shape of a christian cross in reality, only the diagrams are drawn like that. So much for science.

Well, if "Marriage is when two sets of genes of the same species come together to procreate according to the nature of the species design", then this must be an absolute abomination for you philo:

Does Philo think that this entire discussion about the infinity of the universe as compared to the limitations of religious dogma is simply so I can behave immorally? (quoting Philo):

"The spurious claim the Christianity inhibits discovery is a delusion of atheists who want to act immorally"

ROFL!

Once again Philo, you have made me laugh and yes, once again it is at your expense. Ever considered a career in 'stand-up' (pun intended).

BTW discussion is about universe not gays - just get your head out of other people's anuses for a change, you might find you can see.

CJ Morgan,
Marriage is not the ink and paper of a legal contract as you seem to imagine, but it is a social identifying of the very act of two people who share themselves totally with each other.

If you studied biology or engineering you would know what the definition of marriage means. It is the uniting of two different sexes of a species or substances to form a new independent member of the species or a product. Atheistic trends in science see marriage to merely mean any emotional bond, that has not potential to create a new and independent member of the species or a new product.

The only sucessful ethical stem cell research is done with fetal blood or adult stem cells, where a healthy potential life is not destroyed. This research is done in many leading Christian Hospitals.

Australia's leading heart surgeon Victor Chang [whom I have met as a student] was a Christian. His Christian faith did not inhibit his research. It actually motivated him to care for his dying patients.
