Is it going against "God's Plan" to artificially assist life?

Or, did "God plan" for artificial assistance?

...Or, do you believe there is no plan?

I'd like to know why you believe what you believe, too.

One million people made a pact to give each other one-dollar each, so all of them would achieve the status of a becoming a millionaire. Like for example... every one give me a dollar first (hypothetically speaking), once I achieve the goal, then the second person, every one sends a dollar, then the third person, every one sends a dollar... etc, etc., a dollar isn't much for someone to donate at a time. What do you think? Answers is so popular, I literally get 20 responses in a second, could you imagine if this really worked? I’d like to hear peoples feedback, negative and positive.

I was wondering how this started? Or for that matter-how did most societies acquire male dominance, what was the reason? In which case I'm guessing is where this tradition stemmed from (as why would female names matter if they were viewed in a sub-dominant light?) Would this have been why they were typically required to drop and lose their name?

THIS IS OF THE WHOLE QUESTION : The Fugitive Slave Act and the Kansas-Nebraska Act were both the result of legislative compromises by a Congress divided over the continuation and extension of slavery in the United States. How did the compromises help hold a divided nation together.

I am looking for the parentage of my great great great great Grandmother Elizabeth Babcock. She was born circa 1762 in either New London County, CT or Washington County, RI and died 23 November 1828 in North Stonington. She married Libeus Coon on 14 Sep 1786 in North Stonington.

I've done some research on this but the problem I'm running into is that there were a lot of Elizabeth Babcocks born around the same time period in the general area of New London County, Connecticut and Washington County, Rhode Island.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Baby Grace
Written by Semper Fi Reborn

Who is to blame,
When a child is harmed?
Who is the one,
To sound the alarm?
Who is the one who'll,
Dry her tears?
Who'll be the light,
Of her wonder years?

Children are seeds,
Won't you let them grow?
Before you strike,
Won't you let them go?
They are pure love,
Pure in every way.
So let your child,
Feel loved everyday.

Why harm a child,
For your own twisted thoughts.
Life has no price,
It cannot be bought,
Or sold, bartered,
Not meant for trade.
Life's more than a song,
It's a serenade.

Destroy violent thoughts,
And let love replace.
While we must all mourn,
For sweet Baby Grace.

Please do something to save the children from the hands of pain, and bring them into the arms of love.

If perfection is a state that does not exist, then what does that say about imperfection? Wouldn't imperfection then too be non-existent? But if neither perfection nor imperfection exists then what do we have? The things that we percieve as flaws are they really flaws? How does one discern that? If they are not flaws then what do we call them?

He just seems to use one finger to talk, without typing.

Also, what are his views on creation? I plan on reading "A brief history of time" but I won't have the book for a few days.

No cheating here, please. You have to at least TRY to make a reasonable, logical, sensible response. "My minister told me it's possible" is NOT a good argument. Feel free to use the bible, torah, or koran to back your argument up, since all are written about the exact same God.

If you're saying that God is perfect, then you can't say God has a plan, but man has free will to opt out. That would make God's plan imperfect, and thereby make God imperfect. If you'd like to suggest that God makes mistakes, that's fine. It'd clear the whole thing up nicely.

I'm actually curious to hear what is thought out there, so take a stab at answering.
