“Relationship quizzes in magazines are fun, but a test for genetic compatibility might be the better way to go to see if your wife or girlfriend will cheat on you. A new study reveals that a cluster of genes, involved in immune function among other things, could predict how sexually attracted a person is to a partner and how likely a woman is be faithful to her mate. ‘There’s this idea of romantic chemistry, but until now we haven’t been able to pinpoint anything that predicts it,’ said lead researcher Christine”

“Archaeologists have unearthed two skeletons from the Neolithic period locked in a tender embrace and buried outside Mantua, just 25 miles south of Verona, the romantic city where Shakespeare set the star-crossed tale of Romeo and Juliet. Buried between 5,000 to 6,000 years ago, the prehistoric lovers are believed to have been a man and a woman and are thought to have died young, as their teeth were found intact, Experts now will study the artifacts and the skeletons to determine the burial site's age and how old the two were when they died.

So the world has decided that we are our own worst enemy. There is a smoking gun and we are holding it. We are definitely responsible for global warming. Now science will turn their attention to proving that.

The one thing that is most difficult about constructing a good working Ethics System is deciding who has the authority to invoke it. Dictionary.com, Invoke, to declare to be binding or in effect. Is it the one with the highest IQ? Or most money? Or biggest guns? Or most morally convincing veneer? Or the most votes – the loudest mouth? The writ of habeas corpus ad subjiciendum?

Or how about facts? The one with the most facts ! Science ! ! The salvation of mankind is at hand ! A brave new world ! Everything will be perfect and utopia will reign and guess what? No one will be responsible for it ! By extrapolation, if the guy who unraveled the Rosetta stone of life – the DNA, and called it “the language of God” is right then God does indeed direct each and every minute detail of everything that seems to exist, including in particular who will be faithful to whom ! And unfaithful and faithful will be the same thing, just like good and bad are the same thing, because “it is in our genes” and we are not responsible !! God on the same hand is anything that we want it to be. Now isn’t that tender. Reminds one of Romiet and Juleo. But, Why, Why, Why, “Believed to have been a man and a woman ? That shatters the whole romance of it ! Even the astronomical race is old fashioned, two women fighting over the man in the moon. I wonder if he feels flattered ? What do his genes say …..

Would it be fun if there were absolutes ? If God was really the Absolute Sovereign and He said “here are the rules, make up your own mind where you want to go !”
