Since this turned into a biblical debate, I feel the urge to go off on my broken record rant again...

This whole business of conjecturing "what ifs" and "God is big enough to do what He wants" bullcrap is just that-- bullcrap.

First off, it's an "Imago Dei" issue.

Next off, scripture is not that vague on all these issues that people say aren't addressed in the Bible.

Next, the meta-narrative of scripture overall doesn't concede for life other than what was disclosed in the creation account.

But again, my real hot button with most folks is this notion that there's all these mysteries and possibilities of things that "the Bible isn't clear about or doesn't mention". That's just not true for 99% of the examples given, WHEN you rightly grasp the things I mentioned above.
