The Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012. If 1. the projections are a bit off as far as the arrival date and 2. it does hit the Earth, I'd say this might be a good reason to end your calendar.
You could certainly tell your sins to a computer. As the person above said you can do that now. But part of confession is being able to tell your sins to another person. That can be a very hard thing to do. Would telling sins to a computer have the same effect?
Confessions sometimes emotional and sometimes a priest has to read between the lines. A priest can usually tell when you're trying to hide something. A computer could monitor bodily responses and compare those to a baseline but how accurate would that be?
Those issues aside I don't think any of the world's major religions, and centainly not Roman Catholics would ever ordain an AI.
I'm not even sure human-like AI is even possible and it certainly isn't going to happen in the next fews years. A few centuries maybe...
Anicent Hebrews believed that earth, (the ground, not Earth) was a flat circle with mountains at the edges, the sky and heaven above and Sheol (the underworld).
Hence, "circle of the earth" Which is what Earth appears to be when you're sitting on it and you can look around 360 degrees.
Remember folks the Bible is not a science textbook and science textbboks are not religious texts. The Bible explains theological issues not scientific ones. While it has been used by some to support scientific claims, the Bible does not make those claims itself.
A clone would not be a copy of you, just another person based on your genetic material. A distinct being. It's just artificial reproduction.
A show originaly on Fox called Space:Above and Beyond, set in 2062 I think, explored clones. The Invirtros or "tanks" as they were called were produced to be soliders against another human fuck up, androids that went nuts after a scientist gave them rouge instructions.

MIS in my mind is Master in Information Science. And at least here at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville (Go Vols) Information Science is its own school and more like library science with a heavy computer slant. So if what you want to do is deal primarily with the information, and not the system it runs on this is the type of degree you want.
I was born with cerebral palsy due to being born 3 months premature. So my brain, due to this damage sustained by this early birth, doesn't really communicate well with my body. While a have a mild case compared to some, I can walk reasonably well after 5 operations, and have little difficulty otherwise, it would be nice to be "normal".
To counter some of the this is evil or unnatural postings. I believe in God, but I believe in man as well. Man has the power to change his surroundings and even himself to a large extent. Science is not inherently evil , but it can be put to evil uses.This research can be used to help millions with real problems. It's all in how you use the knowledge, not the knowledge itself.
Things to keep in mind, these are mice, not people and the article says the scientists involved are not sure what this means.
Don't view this as an excuse to drink and do drugs with the view that I can replace my brain cells when they are gone.(Yes, I understand these statements are meant as jokes.) Science can't fix everything, though it may someday.
But even without the offical monopoly, it seems that Network Solutions itself holds the majority of the power over domain names and the like. How much power can the ICANN board really wield?
Vanderbilt is a co-ed private university in Nashville, TN. Biltmore Estate is the name of a Vanderbilt family home (castle is more like it) in Ashville, NC. That's the link between those two.
