First Human Clone Born?
slantyyz writes "A religious cult, the Raelians, has claimed that the birth of first human clone is one of theirs. While this hasn't been corroborated yet, it's making headlines in Canada, where the cult is based. There's supposed to be a press conference on Friday in Hollywood. This story just may have legs."
Actually the Raelians story that life on earth was deposited here by alien space travelers, while wacky, is a hell of a lot more sensible than worshipping some super powerful boogy man who lives in another dimension that hand created the entire universe and deals out vengeneance on wicked people in the afterlife...
Funny how when fifty-thousand people think earth was settled by aliens they are a cult, but when a billion people believe that earth was created by an invisible man in the sky, that group is a religion.
Yeah, college students always find that sort of thing ironic, until they grow up (or they don't grow up, and become professors).
If you really can't see the difference, I'm not sure what to tell you. But I suspect that you can; I give you more credit than that.
Actually, what I find funny is the opposite; would-be clever folk will believe anything but the wisdom of the ages. Witness, the cult in the story.
The question was answered in the second paragraph of the article:
The Raelians, a religious cult based in Quebec
They're from Quebec. Obviously, they're crazy. Those people can't even answer a simple oui or non question, let alone clone a human. Next story, please...
