Think about it. People keep saying that God is against cloning and that doing it is an act against God. So let us say that we can clone a cow (for example). By cloning this cow we now have food for starving children and a way of increasing food production for the entire world. Do you really think that God would prefer to let people starve than feed them meat from a cloned animal? Doesn't this make people who say "God is against cloning" sound ridiculous?

LG- people starve to death every single day, saying that "God will never let his people starve" is the REAL stupid thing to say.

Religious people rarely can reason out actual issues. They've been spoon-fed their morality and usually default to "God said so" without any more thought about it.

I think it is against cloning people. I am against it from a psychlogical standpoint, not religious. I haven't given the religious aspect of it much thought. Cows and chickens, etc would not have the same psychological problems that people would, therefore, I could care less about cloning animals to end world hunger.
There are less expensive solutions to world hunger, though. We could end world hunger with what we spend on cigarette advertising for a year. (Well, that is an old stat. Let me rephrase. Or at least we could have in the past before the television bans. So probably a better comparison now would be pharmaceutical advertising)
edit: happykid is RIGHT. We could also end world hunger in the space we would gain if Americans would cut back on only 10% of the meat we eat every year.

No, it doesn't make them sound ridiculous, and no, God doesn't want people to starve. Your reasoning is off just a little. I am not even sure how you attatched the cloning topic to food. It would be a lot easier to just breed the cows in the field for multiple cows, than to go to the effort to clone them. That is not all the point of cloning.

Who said God was against cloning??? I never read that anywhere. I think it' s a cool idea, I just simply believe that it won't be possible to create a sentient human being by this method. They may be able to clone the body, but they'll never be able to make it a being with reason and a soul. God and God alone makes life like that. The reason man is different from animals is God's breath of life.

Cloning cows is not going to feed the hungry, it's just going to improve the quality of meat since they can clone certain cows that have great steak meat.
To feed the hungry we should get rid of cow farms and use that land to grow grains and vegetables, and take the other grains and vegetables that we feed to the cows and feed the world with all of that. We could do it. It was a huge issue in the 70's that people don't really discuss anymore.

This is a gross detestable ploy by religious to make you believe you are an anti-theist There are in fact different types of atheist, some call themselves pearlists, and some are "strong" atheists The common bond is they lack a believe either in the existence of God (Atheist) Or are lack a religious affiliation, and regard God in a broad sense (Agnostic) Neither are against God, that is just ignorant.

Nowhere has God say he is against cloning. Man has said that God is against cloning.
In regards to people starving, unfortunately bad things happen to good people. We, Mankind, can never know God's reasoning and plan. Faith is all we have, and questioning your religion (whether Christianity, Judism, Islam, Buddism, etc) can lead you to strong faith.
No one can say religion has easy answers.

The fallacy in your argument is that it's "clone or don't". There are secular health reasons for oppose cloning, and we already have more than enough food to feed the world.
If you want to maximize food production, the way to do it isn't with meat anyway.

If cloning meant that people could eat that were starving, but that is not man's intent. Man's intent is to "Become like God, the creator." We could just share what we have instead of building bigger and better toys for ourselves. If we spent our extra on feeding others instead of on bigger houses and bigger toys we wouldn't need to clone cows for food.

You sound as if you've made up your mind and are looking for confirmation on the subject. If you study the bible, you obviously would have to assume that he is against it. I was raised christian since the age of six. I am now 27 and do not believe in the christian faith like I used to. Science doesn't lie. Evolution is all around us and hard to wrap our brains around. Sadly, I think that religious beliefs will play a great part in the self-destruction of mankind. You see it now with the right,crying about stem cell research. They ignore the benefits to all of us because of they have radical conclusions cemented in their heads.

If God is against cloning, why does he create identical twins?
