Do I have to put a smiley face if I'm being sarcastic?

There, I changed my original post. Personally, I never met a self proclaimed atheist. As far as I know, everyone I ever met is a theist.

Why clone and then extend telomere? It sounds unpleasant.

Everyone in this forum has an anonymous users name. So, I shouldn't expect anything fruitful from this discussion.

I give up.

What convinced you that the God you were praying to was an imaginary being?

A conscious human being. My personal definition of human life is when the diploid genome forms. When your genome formed, your life began. That genetic program is you.

The sense in which it has been proved that math isn't logic is (to put things as briefly as possible) this: You can't program a computer to spit out all and only the truths of number theory.

The scientific community generally agrees that the start of human life is at fertilization of the secondary oocyte. https://www.princeton.edu/~prolife/articles/embryoquotes2.html This is logical as your unique DNA is formed and the zygote will eventually proceed to become a conscious human being. Sperm and an egg will never develop into a human being. Even prominent atheists agree:

God: The failed hypothesis

Are you suffering from the online disinhibition effect? Or have you encountered people who are? Wikipedia : "The online disinhibition effect is a loosening (or complete abandonment) of social restrictions and inhibitions that would otherwise be present in normal face-to-face interaction during interactions with others on the Internet. This effect is caused by many factors, including dissociative anonymity, invisibility, asynchronicity, solipsistic introjection, dissociative imagination, and minimization of authority." Example of youtube quotes: Thgerasd," after watching this video, I have come to the conclusion that you are still fat". What's wrong with humans on the Internet? http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/tech/webguide/internetlife/2007-07-30-cruel-web_N.htm

Wow.

Einstein answered this question a lpng time ago.

I don't know "why" I am.

Especially in poor and impoverish communities where despair is a common emotion. To who does the weak minded and impoverished go when facing constant unhappiness? Faith in God for a better future is the only hope these people have. The secular community consists mainly middle and upper class people. None of whom face the daily challenges of the lower class. They have no idea what hardship these people face and rarely willing to help.

Yes, we can have a history forum.

I haven't studied the topic.

If you clone someone, the clone will have an aged genome. More technically, the clone will have a shortened telomere. This would pose significant problems for the clone. Cloning humans is not worth doing for many reasons. Genetic diversity is very important for a species. Btw, monozygotic twins are clones. Epigenetic changes throughout twin's lives will make them somewhat different.

I think this question was articulated and answered more than 200 years ago by mathematicians and logicians. If you were really interested in this topic you would pick up books on calculus, algebra and logic.

Got it. However, some people have postulated that a universe can come from nothing (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Universe_from_Nothing). So, your premise may be wrong.

I don't get the math.

I don't understand the grammar of your question. Why would you say that god is illogical? Could you explain further? Certain physicists have postulated that something can come from nothing.

HIV is virus that incorporates its genome into your genome. In essence, HIV becomes part of you as does many other proviruses. To cure HIV, its genome has to be removed from the infected cells. Molecular tools have been developed and discovered to remove specific DNA sequences from the Genome. One of these tools are called CRISPR. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) technology, a microbial defense system, has been developed based on its remarkable ability to bring the endonuclease Cas9 to specific locations within complex genomes by a short RNA, to precisely edit the genome, to build toolkits for synthetic biology, and to monitor DNA in live cells. In the last 2 years, over 325 articles have been published on CRISPR-Cas9 applications. This Nucleus portal highlights recent research in CRISPR and the wide-ranging applications of this technology For decades, scientists have worked to repair or replace genes in people with genetic diseases. But their tools often simply were not up to the task. Viruses that deliver therapeutic genes to human genomes do so at random locations, which could inadvertently block essential genes or activate genes that lead to cancer. More recently, scientists have developed proteins known as zinc finger nucleases and Talens that insert DNA specifically, but they are cumbersome and expensive to engineer. For these reasons, precise gene engineering in higher organisms has been extraordinarily difficult. How long before we can precisely edit our genomes?

This is a very important statements, religion is an opiate and a crutch.

Right These people are unnatural. The natural progression of the human species is towards the singularity.
