Cool Story.

Though it may be a little weak in one area; it seems that adult stem cells may be just as useful to cure diseases as fetal stem cells, which would weaken Lin's case for fetal stem cells being so necessary to save lives.

Though, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. That, and the bible versions I've read don't leave a lot open to interpretation as is implied here, but otherwise, bang on.



Especially about the "would a god of love want you to ..." etc. stuff

Not being God, and since there are differences between adult and fetal stem cells, perhaps there are some diseases better treated with one or the other. If so, Lin's talk of God providing medicine would be valid. But, it's largely moot, anyway, as Lin asserts that God doesn't put souls into clumps of cells.

Yeah, but Lin's point is that God gave man a brain, and man should use it to determine the validity of any version of the Bible. Picking wrong, by itself, is just a mistake that won't get you sent to hell. Picking wrong but then insisting that others follow you on the wrong path is, on the other hand, a sin.

Indeed, although the story pretty much preaches to the choir. None of the real Mr. Parishes of the world would treat it as anything other than blasphemous fiction.

You're most certainly right. But there's always the undecided.
