Really, this guy is making that very argument with a straight face!
My brain hurts after seeing such unbelievable stupidity presented as a viable argument by Chuck Missler, the minister who founded the Koinonia House. This makes Dr. Egnor's blather seem intelligent by comparison. It's even more…
If not, then American Medical Student Association's got it for you, all in a nice, compact 15 page pocket manual. True, there's some standard advice about diet and some useful information about herbal remedies, but there's the now usual (from AMSA, anyway) credulous treatment of all sorts of woo,…
There's one thing I don't get: if the US administration that keeps vetoing bills that were to provide for human embryonic stem cell research is the same administration that has no problem killing and torturing muslims, then why don't they just legalise the harvesting of stem cells from embryonic muslims?
Hey President Bush! I know where the Iraqis have been hiding their WMDs: they're in their stem cells!
Brownian - are you seriously claiming that Wm Dembski was being held by the Iraqis?

The USA may be the home of bio-Luddite faith-heads (according to typical ScienceBlogs posts and threads), but what explains Canada, France, Germany and Norway's (see the article's map) ban of therapeutic cloning (somatic cell nuclear transfer)?

...(E)mbryo cloning for research has been banned in most countries, including Brazil, Canada and Mexico. It has not been banned nationally in the United States, but the research is ineligible for federal financing, and some states have outlawed it."
Oh, we Canucks have got our fair share of wingnuts, too.
Looks like Dr F's already been using stem cells, to generate the body. All he has to do now is to zap it with electricity for the elan vital, thus to bring the body to life. So Dr F still needs the lightning.
Those folks at the DI could probably have told you that. Sheesh, don't you people know anything about biology?

It's alive! And according to Charles Krauthammer, we must give thanks to Bush for making this progress in stem research possible.

A stem cell? As in ONE, single stem cell? What an optimist.
This can only end with the castle being attacked by peasants with burning crosses.
Nah, they have a sign: "You must be THIS HIGH to attack the castle."
