Where do people come up with these things? If God gave us a brain intelligent enough to invent things and solve problems, wouldn't he intend for us to use it.? Was the first stone age man who thought of a wheel or used a stone ax to hunt with guilty of sin? Do you wear (scientific thought) shoes? Keep your food in a (scientific thought) a refrigerator.? If it wasn't for scientific thought we would still be wandering around in deer skins and living in caves and eating cold food (because fire was one of the first scientific tools man used.)Tell whovever told you this to use their (God given) brains to think about this a little and try to come up with something sensible.

Alchemy is real, I can asure you that. It's as real as science or chemestry ever were. It should also never be catorigized with wichcraft, as the two have absolutly nothing in common. There are no "magic words" in alchemy, there are no "mystic potions" in alchemy. Alchemy is also not evil, as some might think. Those rumors, I'm sorry to say, were created by the roman cathlic church in the early 16th century.
England was running low on gold to make coins, so alchemists tried to help. Using a procedure that was lost in the burnings of librarys to follow, alchemists would take a small amount of gold, mix it with other metals and minerals, and create more gold than they started with. The church, worried that this way to make gold would hurt there economy, demed alchemy as demonic and burned hundreds of alchemists at the stake, along with importand alchemical texts in the burning of librarys stated previously.
Alchemy was not demonic, it was simply a way to speed up nature. If you're a bit sceptical, think of this: If a chunck of coal is left in the ground long enough, it becomes dimond. Alchemy was used to speed up this process, mostly through the use of tintuctures.
But alchemy's not the kind of stuff you see on Full Metal Alchemist. Alchemy isn't about clapping your hands, watching a magical light, then re-shaping things. In short, it's purifing things through fire, through the art of distilation.
You might have also heard some stuff about the Phlisopher's Stone on Full Metal, but again, they messed up the facts big time. The Phlosaphers Stone was, in midevil times, believed to be a combination of distilled mecury and sulphul, to a point which it could not be purified any further. It was said to be a substance so pure, it would pass on it's purity to anything it touched. Base metals would become gold (thought to be the purist substanc in existance then) and prolong the human life indefinatly.
So to answer your question, no, alchemy is not shashing God's creating, but more altering them into a more usable state.

If you believe that God created man, do you think that man was intended to just sit around and watch the world go by? Could our intelligence and the changes we have made be part of His plan?
Religion and science have traditionally been at odds, and demanded people to choose sides. What if it could be both? Anyway, I am a scientist. I don't know what I believe in the way of religion. But I cannot imagine that any god would not at least be encouraging man to improve his life, as with cures for diseases. As for the recreation of God's creation, who knows?

Honestly the more I've learned about science (especially physics and astronomy) It really makes me see how wonderous God really is...
Now in some cases I do believe that scientists are trying to play God ei cloning and the like... It's all a question of just because we CAN do something does it mean we should do it?

No science is not smashing God's works. God is the muse of scientists and philosophers.

No. God is Truth. Understanding truth can't oppose God. Science is man's attempt to understand truth

There are web sites available that discuss creationism from a christian point of view that I think you would find alot of your information on. God made man to be thinkers, if he had not wanted us to be so, then we would all be tree stumps instead..

NO. Think for yourself, make your own opinions.
If that's what YOU think, then great.
