# THE NEW GENESIS. A BLUEPRINT for the creation of life is about to be un-
veiled by scientists. The mystery of creation, which took nature hundreds
of millions of years, may now be accomplished by Man within five years. A
leading genetics researcher has worked out the process to create a synth-
etic bacterium. Scientists say it is only a short step to the creation of
much more complex lifeforms. It raises the prospect of humans creating new
species. http://www.lineone.net/express/99/09/11/news/n0100splash-d.html
: What new species would'ya like to create? Have you created any new species
lately? Do they evolve fast? Will they devour us? Do aliens help you? How?

heads as Adam read the verdict. The three Americans face up to life in
prison. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2561098707-02c

for smuggling weapons? Do you worship death-gods? Do you worship firearms??

@ QUAKERS AND CURIOUS DISCUSS WIDE RANGE OF TOPICS. With threads having such
heady titles as Pacifism, Universalism, Abortions, Covenant Marriages,
Death, and War, Taxes, and Quakers, one might expect sophomoric prosely-
tizing, but in fact the discussions are relatively open-minded, calm, and
informed. Sense of community & openness: News:soc.religion.quaker
: Have you spoken to any Quakers lately? Are they rational, spiritual, dull?
Are you a pacifist? How do you compete? Are there alternatives to violence?

Should more/all subs be disabled? Is that a good project for pacifists? Why?

on standby and sent the police helicopter zooming up to check the altitude
of the potentially catastrophic toy. "It's the only UFO in the city that's
now been identified." http://www.smh.com.au/news/9909/11/text/world14.html

"The study of theology, as it stands in the Christian churches, is the
study of nothing; it is founded on nothing; it rests on no principles;
it proceeds by no authority; it has no data; it can demonstrate nothing;
and it admits of no conclusion." --Thomas Paine
