Don't worry - I did not gobble it up as fact

My dad did not believe in God. He did however believe the Enquirer. "They can't print it if it's not the truth!" He would say. "Oh dad." We would say.

But it depends, really, on what they are planning on doing it for...for example, can we learn how to cure cancer, possibly...then I'd be all for it.

But yeah, generally, I think just because we CAN do something weird and cool, using science, doesn't mean we SHOULD.

Agreed! I can guaranty if farmers are cloning sheep, some secret experiment is going on somewhere cloning humans. Some things need to be left alone.

a meteorite smashed into them and killed them. its not like their evolutionary time was up or anything...unless you think that in the cosmic sense their time was up. id be willing to consider that round 1....i think they should get round 2....but with more than one redundancy built into that security perimeter fence!!

eta...i thought we were talking about dinosaurs?!
