Something to ponder...

I ponder a lot about how religionists think about God, most especially about the oncept of his being a supreme being. The logical question (I know, I know...logic is not to be included in any discussion of God) would then be: who created God? Of course the religionist cannot answer this question because closed minds are not going to tolerate logical questions. If, however, we take the suposition that religionists are right about Him being the supreme being, then why are they so vehemently opposed to cloning? God clones all the time and that proof is in the pudding of fertilized eggs. Medical science has proven that more than one egg is fertilized at conception but then only one is allowed to implant to make a baby. It doesn't take a genius to realize someone or something is messing with the other fertilized eggs. The inevitible conclusion then is life doesn't begin until the single chosen egg implants and the other eggs are eliminated by..what? If you're a true believer you have no choice but to chalk it up to God's will but, even then, you'll have a hard time admitting the obvious: God believes in cloning and life doesn't begin at fertilization. The ramifications of this are not only intriguing but probably very upsetting to religious zealots as it blows their theory that life begins at conception. And that also opens the door to stem cell research that could be derived from all those fertilized but otherwise useless eggs.
