Changing and blending the DNA of the Lord's creatures is beyond blasphemous. Do NOT try to play God... ever!

"Spidergoatcow, Spidergoatcow,
Thank you Simpsons movie.
But if we don't play around with the human genome then how will we ever get rid of those FILTHY MUTIES!?!?
(Spider-Man, Hulk... needed some X-Men.)
1. Whose going to stop me? I am the one rolling with freaking Godzilla.
2. This Antichrist fellow seems like an awful threat to me... Any rogue physicists who want to fight the antichrist and go into the whole "supervillain ruling the world" business, contact me... I need the firepower!
3. I don't quite know how we can create giant microscopic creatures... Those things are mutually exclusive concepts...
4. Super armour from silk? Now why did'nt I think of that...
Oh... And I really hope you get Diabetes. That way we can corrupt you with our recombinant DNA bacteria that make your insulin... BWAHAHAA...
(P.S I don't think you should get diabetes. It freaking sucks)
Actually, there were announcements about a biotech company and the US Army developing spider silk from cows and goats. Secreted from their mammaries , if I remember right. Exciting stuff, actually.
But, I have no idea about giant and evil mutants in Area 51. I thought that was for aviation research and development.
Oh, and blasphemy, like heresy, are crimes that were made out of whole cloth. It's for accusing someone of having thoughts and beliefs different from your own.
"super armor" made of spiderweb spun by goats and cows,,,, What the,,,, ???
While I don't discount research into armour from spider web (it is stronger than steel of the same thickness, after all), I fail to see how cows and goats would spin it.
Oh, and just exactly how does the OP know what the heck is going on in Area 51?
I. DNA is changed (and sort of blended) continually in your body, as part of lymphocytes production and if you're male, as part of your sperm production.
II. DNA is blended every time you reproduce. But I wouldn't mind if you sterilized yourself.
III. You would rather see your soldiers dying than use transgenic technologies to produce body armour? Way to go supporting your troops.
gibber, gibber, foam at mouth, bite carpet.
What a sucker-punch of a quote! Starts out like just your average, stupid fundie getting their opinions on things they barely comprehend from a book of myths, and then, bam, it unloads a fucking boatload of crazy in one go!
...the coming Great Tribulation? Are they selling tickets yet?
It was "blasphemous" to engineer bacteria that digest PCBs and other industrial toxins. Sure, buddy.
This one could pretty well fit in CTSTDT too.
The caution against playing God is justified but not for the reasons that RIDICULOUS CAPSLOCK NAME would have you believe. Human beings are notoriously short sighted and lazy as a whole. And a fair amount of caution needs to be applied to using any of our many technologies according to the risk of unintended side-effects.
This doesn't really have anything to do with most genetic manipulation. Except that we'd be remiss in allowing the gene pool of our tamed animals to further dwindle (if you consider keeping any living chattel acceptable at all).
DNA is blended, or recombined, every time a sexually reproducing organism, plant or animal, including humans, reproduces. With the recombination of something as lonfg as the genome comes the occasional mutation. Most mutations are harmless. Some are and can cause retardation and other abnormalities in humans. None have been known to cause monsters or superheroes, except in badly written Hollywood movies which appear to be used as science texts for homeschoolers.

To me the Great Tribulation always sounds like a P. T. Barnum scam. "Right this way, folks, right this way, see the world's only Great Tribulation, recently discovered in the mysterious South Seas ..."
you fool.
About the goatmilk-spidersilk, they did manage to get goats to secrete spidersilk enzymes, but they have no idea how to make them into fibers or a thread.
Area 51 is where the AntiChrist is hiding? That's awesome!!
Wait, since Area 51 is a gov't site, then the fundies should be against their own gov't for sponsoring the antichrist. Maybe they should go join bin Laden, then.
I want to live in THIS guy's rapture.
The spiderweb goats are real, though. They were raising em in upstate NY.
Do NOT try to play God... ever!
SOMEBODY HAS TO!
Edit: Sorry for the gratuitous movie quote but, given my username, I rather felt obliged to do it.
Microscopic giant monstrosities indeed...but the spidersilk goats actually WERE bred..the procejt was cancelled,but the plan was to make their milk contain the proteins that make up the silk.So yeah,he kinda got that thing right
Changing and blending the DNA of the Lord's creatures is beyond blasphemous.
So I guess fundies shouldn't be having children then. Is there a way we can convince them of this?
Does anyone else picture a bunch of cows and goats weaving military wear out of spider webs in some sweatshop at Area 51? Or is my imagination working overtime today.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
