Liberal godless scientists are nothing new; it all started with their invention of penicillen, which stopped polio, God's punishment to those who disobey Him.

Re: Scientists playing God again! Disgusting!

Another story about how our taxpayer dollars are going to fund incredulous scientific experiments:

What utter nonsense. Surely, if it's possible to teach fish to catch things, we should be training them to hunt terrorists, not themselves?

Here is yet another example of Godless, Jesus hating scientists trying to play the Almighty (from http://www.peta.org/):

PETA - Kathy Guillermo - Are worms gay? If they are, what does that mean for humans? Such questions may sound entirely irrelevant to anything in our lives, but some scientists, including Erik Jorgensen at the University of Utah, have apparently received money to study these questions. The worms—nematodes, really—are tiny, 1-millimeter-long creatures who live in soil. Most are hermaphrodites, which means that each worm produces both sperm and eggs. The Times of London reported that Jorgensen activated a gene in the hermaphrodite worms’ brains, which apparently convinced them to try to mate with other hermaphrodites rather than just with the male worms.

Who ever heard of a homer worm, thats just plain silly. I have fished with plenty of them and have yet to uncover two sweaty worms having their ways with one another in my bait box, one bent over a dirtclod while the other one commits sodomy on him.

This just shows what the secularist/evolutionist/vegetarian agenda has been all along: a massive plot to try and convince us that it's fine and dandy to sodomise worms. Sorry PETA and Al Jorgensen, but Jesus and I are not going to fall for it.

We already have explosives-sniffing dogs for that.

Those fish farms though could be generating profit for some tithing Christians out there on the coast. If they can find a way to bring half of them back each year it'll be a huge profit gain.

I can't understand this experiment. This gene-swapping -- giving rats human ears and a penchant for Beethoven, making glow-in-the dark fruitflies, green cats, and now blind cave fish with eyes (huh?) -- this gene-swapping seems to be an inversion of God's order!

I think the eventual goal is to produce usable human organs for transplants. Those could be used by wealthy God-worshiping Republicans with health care to prolong their time here on Earth fulfilling Jesus' will. If the Republicans live longer then they'll also be able to hold back the more progenious poor Democrats in future elections.



See, these heathen scientists can be useful now and then. The first steps are often small and almost never viable but give them some time to build on it and you'll usually see something new out of it.

I have no clue what the sodomization of worms has to do with anything. If they're hermaphroditic animals then they all would be homosexual (due to only having one sex in their species) by design.

A dog can hardly compare with a fish for sniffing out explosives underwater.

Underwater bombings don't seem to be in the MO for Islamic terrorism. They tend to actually kill people when they blow themselves up. Damaging underwater infrastructure like a dam is more in line with traditional military.

but wait...

Oh no! Now the The hippie eco-terrorists are making a comeback! Somebody get the bomb-sniffing fish out on patrol

That's because they know that our trained fish will spot them long before they get close enough to bomb something underwater.

How do we get a diver out there fast enough to actually do something about the suicide snorkelers? Or do our bomb-sniffing ill-tempered mutant sea bass have "friggin' lasers"?

Good job you’re not in charge of defense. Obviously the fish will be being trained, that’s already established. Once they see the snorkelling explosive Mullah or PETA freak, they will report back immediately.

You surely remember the dove that Noah sent from the Ark – It came back with an olive branch – a Godly fish can come back with a piece of pondweed or something! As the fish is being tracked, the trainer can just send it out again to pin-point the lunatic fundamentalist.

A Barracuda can swim pretty fast that’s why they named a car after it.

That’s the trouble with atheists, no imagination!

Re: Scientists playing God again! Disgusting!

The little horse might look cute to a three year old, but the owners of this creature are creating crimes against God by breeding these mini horses. If He had wanted horses that small he would have made them that way. This one can't even reproduce.

Thumbelina: the world's smallest horse

She may be small, a mere 17 inches and weighing only 60 pounds. But she is all horse. Born as a dwarf to a miniature horse, Thumbelina is officially the world’s smallest horse. She may never aspire to be a champion show-jumper – she is so tiny she would find it hard to jump over a bucket.

But these things matter little to the feisty Thumbelina, who has been officially recognized as the world’s smallest horse. That title was conferred on her in 2006 when the five-year-old entered the Guinness Book of Records. The real-life My Little Pony was born on an American farm to a couple who specialize in breeding miniature horses.

Normally these horses weight about 250lb and rise to a height of 34 inches when they are fully grown. But from the day she was born it was clear that tiny Thumbelina would never grow to that size. She weighed in at only 8lb – the size of a new-born baby - when she was born. Eventually she grew to just 60lb.

Her amazing size has been explained as dwarfism. This makes her a miniature of a miniature. She may be a mini-horse, but small means beautiful as far as her owners, the Goessling family in Goose Creek farm in St. Louis, are concerned. She likes to hang out with the cocker spaniels rather than the other horses on their 150-acre farm.

“When she was born, she was so small we thought she wasn’t going to make it. She looked very ill. We feared the worse. Because her legs are proportionally smaller than her body and her head, she has to wear orthopaedic fittings to straighten them out a lot of the time. But we love her and wouldn’t want her any other way,” said Michael Goessling, whose parents Kay and Paul bred the miniature horses.

She only measures up to the shins of the normal-sized horses in the paddock. Michael’s parents have bred hundreds of miniature horses, but they have never had one as small as Thumbelina. She has become something of a celebrity in her home town in America. She lives on a cup of grain and a handful of hay, served twice a day.

She is expected to live to the age of 17 years because of her size – normal horses live for about 35 years. “She was just a complete fluke and we call her a mini mini. She is too precious to sell. I think my parents would sell me before they part with Thumbelina. She has that special Wow factor, which you only get when you see how small she really is,” said Michael.

While she has the ability to get pregnant and give birth, the Goessling family have decided not to allow this to happen. There could be complications during the pregnancy, they believe, so it is better to avoid the risks. And also they don‘t feel it is right that the gene which creates dwarfism in horses be carried on through future generations.

The fact that humans are capable of doing this means that the entire story of creation is one big lie and that the theory of evolution is true (because of the genetics).

No! No! No! It merely means that God will give an animal ears or something to stop its suffering at the hands of a satanic scientist.

Admit it, you see a conclusion and jump to it.

Re: Scientists playing God again! Disgusting!

Notice how Scientist spend all their time dealing with pointless issues. Giving us solutions in search of a problem. If they were as great as the liberal establishment claims they are, why have they done nothing to deal with the REAL problems threatening the world: the homosexuality epidemic, or the unprecidented scourge of disobedient young people?

Because such things are non-issues with a different perspective. Really, you can't make such a value judgement based off anything except subjective realities you have applied to this situation. If I may make a metaphor, you have colored such things using a pair of sunglasses with brown lenses, and thus have arrived at such a conclusion. I will accordingly propose that there are more important issues dealing with achieving greater economic efficency.

If you think it's important to train a haddock to operate a DVD recorder, it's entirely a matter for yourself. As it is, I don't think anyone will understand you sunglasses analogy, so I'm posting a picture of an amusing piccaninny:

Where in the bible is written that god gives an ear or something to stop scientists?
You can't even proof that statement with the bible...
Not that the bible can be considered "true".
