im an atheist, and im a man of science
this does not mean that all scientists are atheists
but i believe that a 'god' or whatever you want to call it, doesnt exist
i believe holy texts were written to police societies, to keep them in order. what else to better threaten them with than the afterlife? it was an incentive to prevent people from cheating stealing lying, etc. BUT, the bible was written by PEOPLE, not a 'god'. it was used to explain things that, at the time, couldnt be explained due to lack of scientific knowledge. the bible claims that the earth has four corners. and for those who believe holy texts literally, i pity you.
im extremely supportive of evolution and i am against creationism being taught in schools. i dont see harm in creationism being indirectly referenced/mentioned, but as long as it isnt taught. all science classes should be based upon the theory (should be a fact/law) of evolution. anything that is living is a proof that evolution exists.
depending on what circumstances, i am for abortion for the most part. if its growing up in poverty, or was a result of rape, then i could understand aborting it.
i am for stem cells since they can result in cures for diseases that can alleviate the lives of millions, possibly billions, of people! they're already using stem cells to regenerate arteries and capillaries coming to and from the heart. they've also done it to people who have lost circulation in legs too!
and last of all, cloning. im a major supporter of cloning. think of how far we can advance in science! think of it logically; a doctor has to spend half his/her life in school learning, experimenting, etc. by the time he/she is out and about to discover something new, he/she is an old man! if we can clone the bodies of these doctors, and surgically remove and implant their brain into a younger body, they will be able to determine many cures and find new discoveries! possibly even the key to stop aging!
