Some people believe that God created man in his own image -- in a literal 7 day Creation week.
But this belief is not as common in Europe. So that brings us to the subject of human-animal hybrids. chimera Creatures that are 99.9% human and some "less so". But the more human ones are to be destroyed within a few weeks of creating them and extracting the desired tissues.

This is going to be interesting -- a very good "test" of the idea that God really IS sovereign and considers his creative work "made in His own image" to be a sacred thing -- or shall we just have atheist darwinists running all over it.
When judgment is not quickly executed by God himself -- the wicked grow bold according to the Bible. Is this animal-human thing a good example of that?
What say you?
In Genesis Abraham is told that he is not to be given the land of Canan for another 4 centuries because "the sins of the Amorite is not yet complete".
in Gen 6 we see that the sin of pre-flood man WAS complete and then came the flood.
Wake up call?
What say you?
in Christ,

The bill covers a number of areas, including research using three types of human-animal embryo:
The new bill will allow research to use cybrids and chimera, but not the true human-animal hybrids. If passed, the law will require all such embryos to be destroyed after 14 days; and under no circumstances would it be legal to implant them into a womb.
- Cytoplasmic embryo or cybrid: where a human cell is inserted into an animal's egg that has been stripped of nearly all its nuclear DNA. The embryo would be 99.9 per cent human and 0.1 per cent animal.
- Human-animal chimera: where animal cells are introduced into human embryos.
- True human-animal hybrids: where a human egg is fertilized by animal sperm or vice versa.
