- hugoguzman, on 01/13/2008, -10/+249Thanks for the rhetoric, Christianptriot. Now on to the point of this article. Hopefully, some day soon, we'll be able to save the lives of those who are currently on long lists for organ transplants. And since you're into silly jokes, here's one for you:
Theres a man drowning. A boat comes up and the person says "Are you alright? Wanna Come with me?" But the man replies "No God will save me." A second boat comes up and asks the same thing.He replies "No God will save me." He dies from drowning and once he gets to heaven and asks God "Why didnt you save me?" God replies "I sent 2 boats for you Idiot". - schroeder, on 01/13/2008, -19/+213That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard, and I've been on digg since '05, so I've heard lots of dumb *****.

- rootbeerinacan, on 01/14/2008, -7/+81Why do you portray God as being such an *****?
- inactive, on 01/13/2008, -14/+82Now Hillary might be able to get her implant.
- ChileanGoD, on 01/14/2008, -2/+57Yet, you will be begging for one if you find yourself in a situation of running out of time and in need of a transplant. Yes, in this field of research science has always got to ask itself the ethics upon what progress is based on. We would be stupid to blindly ingore the practical possibilities as we would be equaly stupid to let ourselves go into a path that will lead to monstruosities. In either case we do not need a god to dictate us what logic, wisdom and comon sense should help us realize.
- l33tspam, on 01/13/2008, -9/+59christianptriot?
wow...I cant even think of a good insult. - browwiw, on 01/14/2008, -4/+46Accuracy's sake.
- Wittyfish, on 01/13/2008, -12/+52Big deal, my parents did the same thing like 25 years ago.
- unknownsoldierX, on 01/14/2008, -1/+33Man perceives God in his own image.
- morgrar, on 01/13/2008, -2/+34There's a difference between creating life and saving lives. You're absolutely right, and that guy's just on his high horse of religion.
- browwiw, on 01/14/2008, -9/+38Yeah, but your parents did it the trailer park way: drunken, unprotected sex. The artificial heart is the intentional product of very well educated and wise individuals. You, on the other hand, are the mistake of two grunting morons.
- nyx210, on 01/14/2008, -1/+29Dammit, I'm not waiting for some god to get off his ass and give us the cure to these horrible, life-debilitating diseases. If we want help, we must learn to help ourselves first.
- Harrison88, on 01/14/2008, -1/+29Great. Now all I need is a brain and courage!
- scotticus, on 01/14/2008, -1/+29I'm on to you, dummy. You just copied it out of one of those idiot chain e-mails that your church friends send around. My grandma sent tons of them to me when she discovered e-mail.
- aki009, on 01/13/2008, -1/+24Funnies aside, this is a great development for saving lives from one of the biggest killers out there: heart failures. Granted, one of the leading causes of heart problems are lifestyle choices, but I think the penalty is a bit extreme for those who don't wake up to the need to take care of themselves until they are getting their first defib jolt.
- Varz, on 01/14/2008, -1/+18At some point, scientists decided that they had, at last, acquired the means to completely create life on their own - without the need for FSM or for anyone to rely upon FSM. So they called out adn demanded to speak to FSM abuot it, and FSM asnwered them. "We no longer need you to look ou for us, as we can now do all the same miracles you can, including create spaghetti. "Fine," said the Lord. "We will have a contest, then, to see who is the real Creator and each of us create spaghetti....the way I originally did." The scientists talked among themselves and agreed, so they told FSM. "We Accept."
One of the scientists reach down to grab a handful of spaghetti sauce to begin the contest, and the Lord said, "Oh no - that is MY spaghetti sauce....YOU create your own." - SevenTwo, on 01/14/2008, -2/+19The Tyrell Corporation is not impressed.
- Louis11, on 01/14/2008, -2/+18Oddly enough, the conglomerate of uppercase and lowercase letters, the excessive use of exclamation points, and the ridiculously long (and unnecessary) ellipse makes you sound strikingly ignorant. Funny how things work out, eh?
- stroupnp, on 01/14/2008, -6/+22These ultra-religious ***** find it really inconvenient that human civilization is able to help ITSELF through the use of science. I wish more of these guys would be less hypocritical and live like the fools that deny themselves medical treatment because they believe god will heal them.
- InfinitySnatch, on 01/14/2008, -4/+19Why would a scientist use dirt to create life? That's stupid, but I guess it's the only way for that retarded story to work. Otherwise the scientists win.
- FreakyT, on 01/14/2008, -0/+12Wait, what?
- inactive, on 01/13/2008, -8/+20*Reply....
- JudgeDredd, on 01/14/2008, -2/+14I hope they hid it underneath the floorboards to cover up their guilt.
- tyywebb, on 01/14/2008, -0/+11Wow, what an *****!
- directive0, on 01/14/2008, -0/+10If god exists, he could probably make life out of whatever the ***** he wanted. That whole omnipotence thing is a real wild card.
- tyywebb, on 01/14/2008, -1/+11Hah! That was a good one. When I'm in the mood to create life a fistful of dirt is always the first thing I grab.
- Rahodeb, on 01/14/2008, -4/+14Relax, I'm pretty sure it was a joke.
- Jeffler, on 01/14/2008, -3/+13Please, don't group all of us people who believe in an upper being to be like this guy...this guy isn't religious, well, he might be but he's definitely an idiot.
- avenu420, on 01/14/2008, -0/+9that's what she said.
/god I miss The Office - inactive, on 01/14/2008, -2/+11Ladies and gentlemen: Christianptriot, -166 Diggs and counting.. give the guy a round of applause.
- ypSami, on 01/14/2008, -0/+8Still, the "grunting morons" part is pretty funny.
- flak9, on 01/14/2008, -1/+9i don't comment much. but that was just stupid.
- furbyboy, on 01/14/2008, -13/+21HAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahahahahahaha..................................i agree, definately the stupidest thing ive ever heard!!!!
This guy should write a new chapter for the bible he is so good at making ***** up!!! It may even beat some of the old stuff that was made up centuries after it supposedly happened!! - Kraemahz, on 01/14/2008, -1/+9"The people who know nothing about this have been saying we should have this stuff by now! What took you guys so long?"
You have no knowledge of the complexities that go in to making a heart in vivo, let alone in vitro, do you? - ypSami, on 01/14/2008, -3/+11Personally, I hope that all religious folk stop using medicine and pray for cures. Then maybe we could finally be rid of their stupid ass influences, and get on with real human progress.
There are NO benefits to religion that couldn't be achieved in another way that doesn't involve robes and prayers and angels and gods and *****. - Synova, on 01/14/2008, -2/+9'Cause those words are so complex. /sarcasm
- inactive, on 01/14/2008, -2/+9yeah, for other people its perfectly sane to believe in imaginary friends with magic powers
- Yuska, on 01/14/2008, -1/+7Finally! A change of heart!
Get it.. Change of.. Oh, screw it. - Demitaka, on 01/14/2008, -1/+7I give it a decade before real life ghost in the shell...
- joot2112, on 01/14/2008, -0/+6Times online can't handle the digg effect? Pathetic. Mirror?
- Ender008, on 01/14/2008, -0/+6There are some really bad comments on this...
- InfinitySnatch, on 01/14/2008, -0/+6Yeah, but what I meant is that it's impossible to create life from dirt in the first place. And if God exists, he wouldn't have used dirt either. That's like me trying to make a cake by breaking a bunch of glass (for some reason), it just makes no sense.
- inactive, on 01/14/2008, -0/+5this is great, i can't imagine that we finally have the ability to do this!
- Yggdrasil03, on 01/14/2008, -0/+5the last 'l' on your link got cut off.
Correct link: http://www.scienceblog.com/cms/researchers-create- ... - richbleak, on 01/14/2008, -0/+5This is one of the most hilarious things I have ever read. I have no idea what it means but it is so ridiculous that I can't help myself. FreakyT's comment is dead on as well.. Well played gentlemen, well played indeed.
- cl2yp71c, on 01/14/2008, -0/+5The Pursuit of Happyness!
- SantaClauz, on 01/14/2008, -2/+6.... I think even a Rick Roll link would have been more substantiative.
- ThinkBox, on 01/14/2008, -5/+9Im a Christian.... and you are an idiot.
- Sryden42, on 01/14/2008, -4/+8God is an imaginery being created by man to explain the things he does not know and to abate the fears he cannot face.
God is cowardice and misunderstanding.
Little harsh, I know, sorry. -
