But seriously, I think using this technology to clone our beloved kids would be a great idea. Now granted a cloned kid is not going to be exactly the same, but it will have the same genetics, and given the same environment to mature in, the end result should be a very similar kid..... I know I will never have another kid like , and given the oppurtunity I'd clone him/her in a second. You see the problem? Once you step over the line in cloning, u open the floodgates for very scary consequences.
I know Apple says its win2k/xp compatible but does anyone know if ALL of its features (squeeze, roll, scroll,little speaker sounds,etc..) will be compatible?
All in all, Carbon dating just doesn't work. There has been too many cases where carbon dating have produced ridiculous results, such as the dating of a live sea snail that resulted in it being 10,000 years old, or perhaps dating of different parts of the body of a preserved mammoth giving discrepencies of 20,000+ years(if i recall correctly, a 95% error).
First to makes things clear: I am a Christian, and personally have many doubts about the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin. I'm really nervous when many extreme Christians, or fanatics for that matter will try to use the Shroud of Turin as proof for anything. We Christians absolutely DON'T need this artifact to be of any proof of our faith. If it turns out to be consistant with the time-frame that my personal savior was killed on the cross, then that that's great, hopefully there would be more believers, but if it isn't...so what? It is just an artifact. This message board has placed too many emphasis on the relation between the Shroud of Turin and Christianity as a religious whole. I really hope everyone, nonbelievers and believers can sever this relationship.
