Yes,the Bible did only say we are created in the image.Though,it says nothing of cloning or gen. engineering.I know that not all of you are against this and I'm sorry if I generalized a bit.I think it's a subjective arguement.The Bible isn't clear on it.I doubt that they would have any insight on the possibility.I just couldn't find anything.I was wondering if any of you have.It says nothing about tampering with creation.If anything,it says to not prevent it.
By the way,I'm an agnostic.I'm trying to better understand the way religious people think.

It's not a sin, if that's what you're saying. Being immoral doesn't mean it's a sin.
And actually I'm all for genetic engineering and studies, they help us better understand genetically inherited diseases and how to prevent them.

Cloning only makes a weaker specie. Using lab animals is bad enough but when we start talking about lab people experiments we are too dangerous a society to be living.
Look up - your redemption draws near! God speaks of beasts with eyes all over around the throne. So your cloning will be done because man is evil beyond imagination.

First off you've got it all backwards ***. Genetic engineering is not immoral. Cloning is. Genetic engineering is the altering of an organisms DNA (can be used for getting rid fo genetic diseases, increase crop productivity, etc.). Cloning is copying DNA.

Genetic engineering, or more specifically, cloning, is tampering with the sacred power of procreation. The Bible doesn't say to live in the image of God. It says that we are created in the image of God. We are "created", we don't create ourselves in laboratories. Sure we procreate, etc, but we don't pick the embryo, God does.

They consider it immoral because genetic engineering will eventually result in smarter people. People smart enough to reject their load of lies.
