As to the raising from the dead, I agree there is no proof that it happened other than the Bible. Really how could we prove anything about Alexander or Constantine or anyone else from history other than King Tut? (we have his body)

I do remember that a card carrying scientist (I remember not who) on npr said to 'resurrect' someone, all you would need is their dna and a really good MRI... (or some kind of 'brain backup') Scientifically theoretically possible.

Here is something interesting though, Pretty much every "Messiah" back at that time was thoroughly excoriated by the Jews. But they mention nothing at all about Jesus. Even if he was made up, surely they would point out that fact seeing as Jesus had followers that history does talk about. See the burning of Rome 64 CE. Tacitus talks about it here: Great Fire of Rome

As to the prophecies that are fulfilled, Here's just one, Matthew 7:21-23. There would be 'Christians' they would do 'funny' stuff and would be working lawlessness. I'll let you find those fulfillments. Also, not words of Jesus but in the Bible, is 2 Peter 2:1-3 Sects? Check! Hypocrisy? Check! That is pretty much why many people don't like "Christians"

And I'll throw in one you might be interested in for free. History and the Bible both are clear that the first century Christians (and Christ) didn't involve themselves with politics. See John 18:36 or John 6:15

Actually I wonder if this will sway any minds on the "Is math discovered or invented?" debate.

But back on the subject... I have often wondered why life seems to have this innate 'desire' to stay alive (or at least propagate/procreate) Maybe that's the biggest anthropomorphical statement of all???

And to top it off, it was ... Clever!!!

FTA:

"Cells cleverly separate the most active genes into their own special neighborhood, to make it easier for proteins and other regulators to reach them," says Job Dekker, associate professor of biochemistry and molecular pharmacology at UMass Medical School and a senior author of the Science paper.

I'd like to see a study of correlationisnotcausation tags in /. articles, especially for filesharing/torrents and for other behaviors we like, but are said to be good/bad for us.

even on this discussion there are at least 4 statements I read along the lines 'I don't think this study can be true, because I feel *.'

Imagine, these people were worshiping crosses (or cross-like objects) long before "Christians" started to do so.

From GP's cite on wikipedia:

They soon discovered T-shaped pillars, some of which had apparently undergone attempts at smashing.[...]GÃbekli Tepe is the oldest human-made place of worship yet discovered.

Here is a question I have been wondering about a long time. Do Humans and Chimps share any or many CNVs? what about SNPs? From the wikiverse, I was able to see that ERVs are common and the reason I was not spontaneously aborted during gestation. Is there more reading that I can find about ERVs, CNVs and SNPs online?

BTW, thanks for showing me a positive aspect (from human standpoint) of viruses.

Taking it one step further, why not give them (tomorrow's warrior) the unmutated myosin gene, thus able to be 5 to 7 times stronger kilo for kilo of muscle?

Or we could just help people with genetic problems, making the human race just a little better as a race. (hopefully)

Because they will simply break their bones when excerting their force ?

yeah, I thought of that too. But, bones respond to stress... Stronger with more stress. Why do not Chimps break their bones. If answer is genetic, then maybe viruses can do double duty...

I wonder what is the difference between chimp bones and human's

I wonder about the mechanism of how the gene goes from virus to DNA... (in the ?proper? place) If it was just as simple as get fixes near where they need to go, that would be awesome. What about genes for the UV cones (?rods?) that birds have? Or the EM wave properties of certain avians? Will it only work this easy where something is lost? If not, Meet tomorrow's new warrior, able to see in the dark, radar, cell phone waves and electricity...
