>>>If the contention is
that *all* bio-technology is "bad" and should be stopped then I
strongly
disagree with it.
"In the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, you see, Jesus as a Boy
made
small, as you'd say, toy Golems out of Clay,-- Sparrows that
flew,
Rabbits that hopp'd. Golem fabrication is integral to the Life
of
Jesus, and thence to Christianity." (486.19-22)
At least, that's what one of the voices in Pynchon's most recent
novel sez.<<<
>>>So, the Bible advocates"ethical bio-technology", jbor is
saying, using
Pynchon's citation of Apocrypha to lend authority to the notion?
Thanks for
clearing *that* up; I'll add that to the long list of present ills
that
Bible fans claim find support in ancient scripture.<<<
