    American Scientists Create First Synthetic Living Cell - Vatican Warns them to Not Play God

    I'm well aware of the scientific representatives of science in the Vatican. They don't belong there. Theology is not science, and the two don't mix, no matter what Francis Collins says.

    eating Meat? good or bad

    Meat is far more expensive than vegetable based protein. Approximately 23 lbs of soy protein is used through animal feed on average to yield 1 lb of beef protein. The statement above is simply false.

    Is it sometimes better for you not to know?

    I'm having trouble thinking of any situation where ignorance would benefit me. Even if somehow I could be told in advance that someone will break into my house and torture me to death soon, I'd still want to know about it, even if can't stop it from happening, so that I can go around and spend...

    American Scientists Create First Synthetic Living Cell - Vatican Warns them to Not Play God

    Ture, but IMO that's not a problem wiht gentic engineering per se, but with unjustifiable legal permissions.

    American Scientists Create First Synthetic Living Cell - Vatican Warns them to Not Play God

    Exactly what I was thinking. If it's true, then there's no need to warn anyone of anything. It just goes to show you how utterly out of their field of expertise they are, despite not knowing it themselves.

    Censorship Goes Too Far - Pakistan Bans Facebook and Youtube.

    I'm not sure you understand my position. Why would I report this? I couldn't care less if muhammad was depicted performing homosexual acts.

    American Scientists Create First Synthetic Living Cell - Vatican Warns them to Not Play God

    Church warns cell scientists not to play God - WorldWide Religious News The Vatican has stated that the creation of synthetic life by scientists in the U.S can be a breakthrough if used properly, but advised that only God can create life. Is the Vatican's ignorance boundless? Seriously, they...

    The morals of being vegetarian/vegan

    Oh not all of them, as I'm sure you've encountered before in other places. We just had a debate about this earlier this week though, so I think most people have said thier part for a little while, that's all.

    The morals of being vegetarian/vegan

    Congratulations on this statement. It is an enlightened one IMO.

    Censorship Goes Too Far - Pakistan Bans Facebook and Youtube.

    It's utter stupidity. Let's grant for the moment, for the sake of argument that muhamed is indeed the last prophet as a muslim would believe, and that also it is sinful to portray him in pictures. What is the point of taking facebook down just because other people are sinning? The pictures...

    Gay sentenced to prison. How do you feel?

    Oh please. Evangelicals are some of the biggest modern day offenders of spreading hate, and if you expect anyone to believe that they're anything but happy over the sentencing of a couple of gay guys to prison, you are shamefully naive.

    eating Meat? good or bad

    I'm not sure I understand you. Are you saying that wasting meat based food is worse than eating meat based food? My wife is an ecologist (also moral vegetarian) and we fight over this. She says that there are more moral reasons for refraining from eating meat than for the wellbeing of the...

    Atheists Who Say that Morals Are Subjective or Non-Existent

    One common mistaken idea that I encounter mostly among atheists is the idea that morals are purely subjective. This is simply not true, and I find it very annoying that they so often criticize theists for having unfounded claims about morality, but can't in return offer any alternative...

    American ANTI-Muslim terrorism in Florida

    I didn't bother reading. I'm sure the title pretty much sums it up. What is to say.

    eating Meat? good or bad

    No actually, not at all. What can I say to that? We can pull the curtain, but not everyone wants to leave oz.

    eating Meat? good or bad

    Catfish are much harder to catch than plants. Plants don't squiggle nearly as much, and a deer can outrun a plant on it's worst of days. I'm not saying they should buy packaged beef from Kroger, it's immoral to do that. Animal protein is far more difficult to obtain than plant protein, no...

    eating Meat? good or bad

    It's way too much to do in a post. In a nutshell, Haidt et al research wich led to the 5 moral domains (2 universal of harm and fairness, and the remaining 3, ingroup loyalty, personal purity and respect for authority, which about 50% of humans agree are moral matters) set the stage for basic...
