Answer 1

A contradiction with the will of God, is not to survive the quest, if its a success then God is in its favor.
We are to learn that in the future.

Answer 2

We are not given dominion over ourselves, rather, we are given dominion over the animal kingdom, and there is no biblical basis AGAINST cloning animals and planets, however, we are not given that kind of authority over humans.

God entrusted humans with dominion over the animal kingdom (Genesis 1:26). But humans were never told to have dominion over other humans, nor manipulate them, as would be the case if cloning humans.

Furthermore, humans are meant to have fathers and mothers, to be where possible the offspring of a sacred marriage relationship, the family ordained by God. While unfortunate circumstances in a fallen world mean that sometimes children have to be raised by only one parent, a clone could never have two parents. Thus the artificial cloning of a complete human being, because it deliberately sets out to cause such a situation, is opposed to biblical principles.

Each fertilized human egg, including any that results from cloning, is a new human individual. Perfecting the cloning technique requires several experiments, and many embryos will be destroyed in the process. Indeed, the dark experiments in Massachusetts have so far been a massive failure—the embryos died before they became large enough to produce stem cells (the very goal of the researchers).

Cloning is in opposition to the Biblical institution of the family. Because a manufactured human clone could never have two parents, the process of cloning would go against the doctrine of the family (i.e. a father and mother) as ordained by God in the Book of Genesis.

This push for cloning is probably why the secular media have mostly ignored the fact that non-embryonic stem cells have had proven laboratory and clinical successes and don’t require any loss of human life. For example, stem cells have been extracted from hippocampal and periventricular regions of the brain, umbilical cord blood, pancreatic ducts, hair follicles, skin biopsies and liposuctioned fat.

Answer 3

without a doubt, it IS a contradiction with God. This is because if God wanted there to be clones, dont you think this would have been possible a long long time ago? I for one dont think that God wanted us to be able to use technology for this sort of thing. Living longer is good, but doing it with clones is almost like tricking God into making us live longer.

Answer 4

I guess it all depends which "God" you're referring to. Zeus might not have a problem with it. Yahweh and the Accuser of Brethen probably wouldn't approve. I don't think Budhha cares etheir way, but he's not really a God. Maybe you should ask Jesus or Mohamad.

I think if your particular "God" doesn't approve you probably shouldn't get envolved in any cloning activities. Just don't force your religious beliefs on the rest of society. Most people don't believe in the same "God".

Answer 5

From the very beginning of Genesis, God refers to himself as plural. This is not because there is more than one God, but that God exists in perfect balance; he does not need a mate to be complete. Those spiritual, mental and emotional features attributed to a specific sex in people, are perfectly proportioned parts of who God is.

For example, the person of God embodies a woman's nourturing qualities: "God is Love" and a man's rougher tendencies: God is vengefull. What is, for us, a contradiction, is, for God, perfect wisdom and balance.

When he created mankind (including women) in his immage, he intended for that plurality and balance to continue. He did not intend for the sexes to become totally autonomous.

He established the family unit by requiring sex between a man and a woman for procreation. He did this because it was necessary for human offspring to spiritually, mentally, and emotionally be made in their parents immage. There is an established chain, wherin God intended each generation to emulate its parent generation. DNA is further proof that God wanted this chain to continue. Through sexual reproduction, the cycle is perpetuated.

Very early on, God established guidelines on the family unit. Most sins listed in the bible were banned because they were perversions of his plan for the family unit. For example, everything from sexual immorality to stealing can divide families.

Cloning creates life without providing for the spiritual, mental, and emotional environment needed for a healthy offspring. For this reason, cloning is outside of God's will for mankind.

It is, however, no more, and no less a sin than divorce, fornication, stealing, murder, lying, or anything else. Sin is defined as anything that is outside the will of God, and the consequences are the same for all.

Answer 6

Yes. His breed is supposed to be carried out in birth. Any "attribute charging" practice does not carry out His scheme. This goes against living according to The Middle Way (primarily a Buddhist principle, but lived by many religions) which suggests that one is to attainment by Holy means (prayer, meditation, service of humanity, birth). Duplication to achieve a particular result is not part of attainment.

Answer 7

Who cares what god thinks about it. I'm pro-cloning!

Answer 8

No he cloned Eve from Adam

Answer 9

Did God specifically ban cloning... where and how?

Answer 10

cloning is in contradiction with Nature.
