Oh Wirt, how can you know so much and be so ignorant of the love of God?
I don't even know where to begin to explain it to you (I don't
understand it all myself). Why do you hate God so much? Because He
doesn't run the universe the way you want Him to? Because He knows more
than you do and doesn't tell you the "why" of everything?

BTW there *are* scientists that want to destroy life. They hide it under
the guise of "saving lives". The only problem is they take the life of
someone else without their consent in order to do it. Stem cell research
is just one example.
