Sometimes I wonder about that too. When I became infertile I just accepted it. A lot of people won't.

Yes they have been for a long long time. Those opposed to God will try and tell us everything is ok, because it is the devil they listen to, whether they know it or not. Read 1 Tim 6: 20-21 . What does it say about knowledge, science.??? If any of it opposes what GOd says, He says it is FALSE. and to the athiest who correct me earlier saying I had no idea how to spell false. Yes I do. But I ran out of letters, and left the e off, anything to get it thru. I call that smart. Yes, I found humor there, how athiests will do anything to tear us Christians down. Even if I didnt know how to spell, I am still Gods child. What is it you athiests arent good at. Seems we all have something. Also, I type 120 wpm and do make an occasional error. So, no sir, I was not stupid. anyone that wont let God in, I call that not real smart. I would rather not spell well and have God than spell perfectly and go to hell. I dont intimidate by attacks. Nor do I attack any athiest. I only stand up to their confrontations of hate and sarcasm. and back to your question, yes we go to far, anytime we depart from what God says, this is why HE is continually warning us throughout scripture of falseness, apostasy, etc. And He sure did a great job in scripture of telling us what the end result will be for people who turn their backs on God. Read what God says about thelast days. we are already here. Lovers of pleasure. go thru the list. and no love for God. Thank you for your very good question, and I hope it will make some think...Good question. Keep asking.

Sometimes, I wonder why you Muslims who sneer at everything that Science gave you, and talk about going the way Mohammed went, still use the benefits of Science so shamelessly?
Why do Muslims use loudspeakers to make the muzzein's call with? According to your own texts, they're not supposed to use any artificial things to call the faithful.
Why do you people watch TV, when your Ayotollahs etc, condemn them as "evil"?
Why, for that matter do you use the computer and Internet, which have been denounced by your own Religious Leaders?
Why do you want an "Islamic Bomb"? When this has also been denounced as "unclean"?
Why do your people terrorize others, committing atrocities like the 9/11, London Bombings, murdering Journalists on video tape and airing it on al-Jazeera?
Why does your Ayotollah issue "fathwas" or death sentences on foreigners? And say that he will declare war on USA and UK?
Aren't these people trying to act like God?
Aren't they taking things too far?

If there is no god, how is it possible to play the role?
This accusation has been made repeatedly regarding birth control, life extending medical technologies, atomic weaponry, lunar travel, genetically modified food, etc.
Science is simply working to extend knowledge. Business and industry take science's findings and apply them to human problems or wishes. You almost sound like you'd rather not know stuff. Personally, the more we know about how life and the universe work, the better off I think we are.

How are we trying to play God? I have never heard of an IVF surrogate drowning all of the children on the block for failing to worship her...

No, Science is merely mans' way of understanding the Universe. As for your examples of baby making, how is procreation via science playing God. Your analogy doesn't fit.

Only God can create life, so any life born is a blessing from God.

Would you think that it was wrong, if you were yearning to have a baby and couldn't do it by natural means?

Are you trying to judge? Your morality is yours, leave the rest of us alone.
