First Human Clone Born?

Posted by michael on from the grand-army-of-the-republic dept.

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."

    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.
