Would it be advisable to clone Jesus?

If we could get blood remnants from the Shroud of Turin, or luckily find some piece of the True Cross that had hair or skin or blood that was Christ's and the genetic material was still well enough intact, should we clone Him? Could that be how the Second Coming might occur? What else might happen?

Would it be advisable to clone Jesus?

Interesting subject for speculation, but too impractical. The Shroud of Turin is suspected to be a forgery; there are enough pieces of the "True Cross" to build a nice-sized house; there are no descendants of Jesus of Nazareth to compare the DNA to, a necessity if science is to involved in any cloning project. And even if material could be found, it would not necessarily prove that the clone is the Second Coming, because a Deity would be perfectly capable of interfering in the experiment to prevent such a thing from occurring.

Nice try, though. ;-)

your question is complecated

Would it be advisable to clone Jesus?

I don't think that that is what it means by second coming. It wouldn't work anyway. It's Jesus, not a sheep.

Well if he came back and kept on spouting all that stuff about loving your brother, loving your neighbor, loving your enemy, hanging out with the poor in society, being charitable, etc., he'd probably get attacked by religious fundamentalists for being a freaky badly dressed pacifist fruity hippy Democrat.

I like this question.

Second coming - no, just a revisiting of the first coming. Because it's a replica of the original.

I think the Vatican woulld be mighty miffed because they would lose the monopoly.

More killing and wars... Will ponder more.

Try, if you can. From where you will get his genes?

depends is the soul of man in our genetics? if you cloned me would it be me? doubt it, all you would have is a typical middle eastern man and not Jesus.

On Dec. 22, 2001, scientists at Texas A%26amp;M University announced the birth of "CC," the world's first cloned cat. "CC," as in carbon copy, has the same DNA blueprints as her genetic mother, Rainbow. So, like identical twins, they're duplicates. That means everything's the same -- their looks, their mannerisms, their . . .

But wait. A closer view in color reveals they don't actually look identical.

In fact, technically they're not even the same color. Rainbow, with her spackling of orange mixed in with patches of black accentuated by a white belly and legs, is calico while CC, who has no orange coloring at all, is a tiger-tabby.

[...]

So why the difference in appearance? "The cool thing about CC," says Lyons, "is that it shows that even though two animals are genetically identical, they may not look or act identical. A clone is never actually identical because there are so many different environmental factors that come into play."

nope not to me

Would it be advisable to clone Jesus?

You forget that many of these religious artifacts that you speak of are fakes. The chances of finding some real genetic material from a man who allegedly lived 2000 years ago is slim to none. The odds of that material being usable in cloning is even slimmer.

Even if it were all possible in theory all that would happen is a human that looked like Jesus would be born. It wouldn't actually be Jesus because his soul is in Heaven. Assuming that everything in the Bible is literally true.

For a start, the stains in the Shroud only date back to the Middle Ages so it is a fake. Even if genetic material from Jesus was found intact a clone would be no more like Jesus than an identical twin is to his other twin. The original Jesus taught a philosophy of peace and respect, not unlike the Buddhist philosophy. If you brought him back he would be p*ssed off at the Churches that have emerged bearing his name. They are into power and wealth creation, merely using his name to achieve their political objectives. On the other hand, Maybe we should bring him back and crucify him again for failing to perform in his mission as 'Prince of Peace' seeing that we have had nothing but wars for the last 2000 years in his name.

wow we can make then 100000 jesus.

u know the genes exists there's no doubt of it.

and that's exactly why i beleive in islam coz god wouldn't let this happen. so if real jesus was the one who was crucified, then what ur asking 4 would've be possible and we could clone 100000 jesus with the same IQ cleverness, with the same quality and try to use this advantages 4 evil, killing pple, dominating the world. (god forgive me). that's why when u know where the genes r hidden u'll clone yahutha coz jesus christ went up to the sky. god saved him from crucifiying coz there's a bigger mission 4 him to reappear (in our days i guess) when evil become soooo strong to save pple from darkness and to fight evil...

god or ALLAH(swt) saved abraham from the fire, to keep the truth. he saved his son from getting killed. he save jesuschrist from crucifying, to keep the truth...u'll see it soon....peace on ya
