me: ...the stark fact is: Science cannot defeat mortality. It cannot "cure" death. And it cannot make man "good."

you: I didn't notice this posted earlier. Not looking to debate, but for the record, I consider all three premises as quite false. In fact, the first two should be well on their way to achievement within the next century (a couple centuries at most) and the third as well within this next millennium.

Jeepers, AntiGuv, forgive me for saying so, but this is nutz. How can you rationally expect that man can gain sovereign control over nature and the universe -- which seems to be what your proposal amounts to -- when he cannot even gain sovereign control over himself???

I suppose it is "pointless" to debate this issue. So consider this reply just for the record, too.

Man does not require sovereign control over the nature and the universe to achieve those things.

PS. And no, I will have to decline. I consider ignorant statements unforgivable. If there were any sign that you'd actually investigated and contemplated the matter, then I'd consider forgiving you. Sorry.
