I see science as a tool. I see nothing in science as inherently evil or bad.
If stem cells can cure someone then I say let them. I have a relative with a serious disease and If Stem Cells can cure him then so be it. Same goes for cloning. If cloning a new body for someone who was a quadrapalegic or parapalegic would work, im all for it.

Its what we do with it that matters. God gave us humans awesome minds and powers to do all sorts of things. If we do these things to glorify him, who are we to say God doesnt want to work through stem cells or cloning.
I know its a straw-man argument to use, but its how I see it. Nowhere in the bible is it forbidden for Science to do anything. We could argue that our advances didnt exist then and that would be true. But I figure we are in a quandry over science alot of times due to the biblical silence on issues such as Stem Cells. Because such things did not exist.

I guess we all have to pray about it and go in th direction God leads. After all he's the only one that would know for sure.

I find dating in general bugs me. The whole process. So I have two choices, be single or play the game. . .that bugs me.

Yeah I want a potential partner to have the same or similar beliefs as me. No one can always a agree though and Im willing to get to know everyone that shows an interest in me, even if they at first set up red flags that this just isnt going to work, you never know where God is going to work.

I know personally I want to be told up front the moment you know your not interested. Ive been hurt more than once by women who didnt tell me right away but let it go on for months.

Im not a dater. I dont see a girl and then just ask her out.
Im more of a type who prays, who likes to get to know a girl as a friend first and then hopefully it just evolves into a relationship, if thats in Gods will.
Now thats not to say if a women wanted to ask me I wouldnt go, im simply not doing the asking.

I think it more has to do with what your comfortable with.

I guess it depends on the age group. I know for my age of 26 people my age simply dont go to church unless they are extremly faithful and take it seriously.
Im one of the youth leaders at my church and I have to say there is no one my age that goes with the excption of the already married (2 Couples) or engaged (1 couple).
I also occassionally go to the Youth Leader meetings and all of them are mid 30's with the exception of one other guy and they are all married men.

I think its the lack of places to go and meet new people. I dont go out to bars or clubs. Ive tried meeting people online and last year I met a girl on Myspace, she was a Christian, though struggling (though arent we all in some way), we had a brief non-labeled relationship that pretty much ended in June. We continue to lift each other up as friends and help each other In our relationship with God, but none of her friends are Christian and she herself doesnt know any even off handedly.
But Ive said all that to say Ive still looked online, thats why Im here. Its hard to find someone thats serious about their beliefs and thats also compatible with you.

I'll be honest Im also not one that believes in a right one just appearing when your ready, I think you have to do some work and look, course im not saying it cant happen (Because I sure do pray for it). But for me im in no position to find anyone unless someone new just happens to come to church one day.

But it is very hard to meet someone. But I also dont want just anyone. I want the one I can spend the rest of my life with. Its something ive prayed for daily in the past month or so. The only answer I keep getting for any of my prayers lately is September, which I kinda understand cause I'll be back in NY around that time.

Anyway Im being long winded again.
