Uh yeah - that wasn't God. That was the cells from a pig bladder. Science did it my friend, not the laying on of hands.

I'm with Skippy; the man didn't PRAY, he used MAN-MADE medicine. Science fixes something yet again.

Pigs are unclean animals, and you shouldn't be eating them, or even touching them. The punishment for both in the Old Testament is DEATH.

"Isaiah 66:15 For behold, the LORD will come in fire, and his chariots like the stormwind, to render his anger in fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. For by fire will the LORD execute judgment, and by his sword, upon all flesh; and those slain by the LORD shall be many. Those who sanctify and purify themselves to go into the gardens, following one in the midst, eating pig’s flesh shall come to an end together, says the LORD."

Isaiah prophesied that in the end people who ATE PIGS were going to die. I'd think that using pig bladders, when Leviticus specifically says not to even TOUCH pigs, would also count.

I propose this Omnipotent God can reattach a severed 12"Penis if he wanted to.
But he chooses to ignore our 40 thousand boys who comes back daily from Iraq, limbless.

Except that those darn Darwin lovin' scientists did it. It was not the result of a priesthood blessing.

Would your preisthood be able to do that without the "pixie dust" developed by biologists?

when believers want to give their claims more weight, they dress these claims up in scientific terms. When believers want to belittle atheism or secular humanism, they call it a "religion". -Beastie

I was sorely tempted to quote something from Monty Python here but thought better of it.
One moment in annihilation's waste,
one moment, of the well of life to taste-
The stars are setting and the caravan
starts for the dawn of nothing; Oh, make haste!

-Omar Khayaam
