It's 'alive' isn't it...and therefore 'life'.

Craig Venter and his team have built the genome of a bacterium from scratch and incorporated it into a cell to make what they call the world's first synthetic life form.

Don't be absurd. His Mother and siblings weren't killed, were they? You are making this up as you go along.

I am not making it up, its just new to your consciousness, and that makes it difficult for you to absorb.

Just take it in easy.

No longer searching for the divine, their orginal roots, they have morphed into themselves as the divine path and covet that position in the hearts of men.
What a bizarre thing to say. People who work in scientific establishments are probably doing whatever work is assigned to them; testing, experimenting, producing, etc. What basis do you have to support your assertion that science is trying to take the place of God? I mean, surely you didn't just make that up, did you?

AREQUIPA,

You need to go read the BIBLE, all of the books of the NEW Testament. You will get a better idea of things if you read GODS whole word and what is written.

I don't recall any Biblical quotes that make any reference at all to Jesus' sex life (or lack of same). Can you point me to a Biblical source that does?

One thing I would never do myself is to presume that I knew what Jesus knew, particularly about a hypothetical situation not based on Biblical writings (his thoughts about marriage, children and slaughter).

My basis of support is the known war of competition that has always existed between the church and science; know your history. Science has always coveted the churchs position as the leader of divine revelation.

Know your history.

Well it has to be put together with a mind of scriptual discernment , which you have never displayed that you have, in my view; your mindset is a rejection of scripture, why would you want me to give you a bible lesson in discernment, when you have none to comprehend it?

The sex life of Jesus must be spiritually discerned.

Yet I will give you a key that is general. The sacrifice for all of humanitys sins that God wanted, was symbolic of a Lamb without " Blemish;" A sinless symbol, which a virgin symbolizes.

A virgin birth- a virgin death. Jesus became a " Sineater", he didnot asorb all our sins, he asorbed " The Responsibility" for our sins and paied the cost that erased condemnation.

Oh, I know plenty about history. Real history. Like they have in history books.

They did not have a competition between churches and science. As recently as the 16th or 17 century, the Roman Catholic Church did impose sanctions against some scientists because of radical ideas such as earth revolving around the sun, but it wasn't a competition.

Why would "science" (which as an entity does not exist) ever have anything to do with divine revelation? Covet the church? BS!! Ridiculous!
