Happy Valentine’s Day!

.....This occurred according to the Creator’s plan, where creatures reproduce after their kinds......

Pure tripe

Guess they are still missing that link... the Adam was NOT alive - living until the ‘breath of life’ (means soul) was breathed into his nostrils.

And the evols allll admit they are incapable of dealing with things not visible to the human naked eye...

Human stem cell research will fix this, don’t ya’ know?

Without a wholesale restoration of uncorrupted DNA, life on earth is doomed to eventually die out.

Interesting concept.

Somebody say Ibex?

Just practice for human cloning, we can’t wait!

Great article. More proof life and genetics were not just random events.

Finally, though DNA is damaged much more easily outside a living cell, damage also adds up over generations, even with the remarkable array of DNA damage detection, prevention, repair, and replacement mechanisms that were engineered into living cells. Not only do cells accumulate damage over time that ultimately leads to death, but 100 mutations per generation in reproductive cells eventually lead to extinction of whole kinds.

Since a generation can only take minutes or hours for bacteria, shouldn't they be gone by now?

Wouldn't this mean that humans today would be greatly inferior to humans from 6000 years ago, and less numerous?

The ibex cloning would not have worked if the embryo had been placed in, for example, a female wolf’s womb. This occurred according to the Creator’s plan, where creatures reproduce after their kinds.

One of my favorite Bible passages reads,

"Clone not your ibex in a wolf's womb".

God’s plan includes cloning.

Just don’t add any frog DNA! ;-)

Makes you wonder if what is meant to be extinct won’t stay extinct.

[[he first extinct animal to be cloned. Unfortunately, the clone died shortly after birth “due to physical defects in its lungs.]]

This just in: Sources tell me that new information is coming to light concenring hte death of htis rare cloned creature- according to witnesses, this clone was seen inhaling from a bong, and sources close to the clone, tell me that sir clone was a heavy marrijuana user and a three pack a day camel unfiltered cigarette smoker. Sorces inform me that they knew hte end was near when they witnessed the Ibex huffing and puffing just trying ot get it’s rockign chair moving. “It was bad- Ibie would pant like a steam engine just walking up three or four steps- It was clear hte old goat wasn’t goign to live long- it comes as no surprise- The government should have upped the price of ciggs to $100 a pack to prevent Ibie from buying htem on his welfare check- But, at least we have fond memories of Ibie winning every swim race he ever entered,, and the olympic gold medals- how many again? somethign liek a gazzilion? Well, that was before the pot and smoking took hold of his life”

If the donor was FOUND DEAD—how much had the DNA deteriorated before they froze it?

That could be a large part of the problem, also.

One would think that the lungs would be the first to decompose—no air and blood circulation.
