Well obviously this is evidence of the existance of god . The fact that these nuts are keeping his dessicated heart in a crystal jar would seem to indicate that old Jay Hoover is dead , or heartless , or at the very least, somewhat cranky and under the weather .

Off to GRD, who may decide it's preaching and send it on down to RRP.

This blood didn't. It was still perfect but yet dated to be 1300 years old. How is this possible? This miracle happened in 700 A.D. If you wanna research it yourself, find by me.</strong>

Whose heart muscle is it supposed to be? If we clone it, will we get a jesus?

And would the clone have a Messiah-complex?

Oh, that inspires some very interesting fantasizing. We could have a clone army with half-Mary, half-Jehovah DNA, just like the "only-begotten" original.

If it actually worked, could they fight over the throne of heaven, and would they each lay claim to being the savior of humankind? Would they all be able to work godlike miracles? Would they each gather disciples, or would some go off and do their own thing, shirking their Jebus heritage? Might some of them dabble in other religions, New Age thought, or even atheism?

In short, WWJJJJJ...JJJJD?

Well, if nothing else, medical scientists could introduce Jesus-genes into the wider human gene pool, which would presumably allow us to heal the sick quite a bit easier. And as an added benefit to humanity - nobody would ever drown again!

Outstanding observation. Being that cloning and stem cell research is my main pet peeve for the U.S. religous right, I think that your idea should be put forth as the very first test case for human cloning!
