We have free will, meaning we have the ability to law over ourselves, we have the ability to make our own actions (as many believe), and therefore we have Omnium.
Define 'omnium'. I had no clue what you were talking about and apparently, neither did a few dictionaries.

http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary

I'm not sure what's going on with m-w...

Omnium, comming from latin as "of all."

Famous word from Flann O'Brien's novel, "The Third Policeman"
http://www.omnium.com/flann.html

Read that.

It is in human capability to understand the flaw of the major design, but is it in human capability to apply the knowledge? For that matter, what is knowledge and what is concept; do we really know?

I honestly think the bible is an elaborate prank. I mean, its not too hard to do is it? Just fabricate some stories, make some weird names up and you have a Bible.

I'm guessing your trying to say is that our souls are all we have. I'm guessing that you mean that our bodies are all we have because we are the souls and in cloning, we are not creating more souls (such as God did) but we are recreating the body our souls have been put into.

I'm not quite sure what your getting at and it's mostly because of the whole omnium. It seems like Flann used it as a verb part of the time, as well as a noun. Your using it as a physical thing and a state of being so i'm not quite sure what it is. I guess if you were to farther expain "omnium", I could give you a better answer.

Well if we can create a souless clone that believes it has a soul and no one can tell otherwise that it doesn't have a soul how will one beable to fight the idea that it doesn't have a soul? There is nothing that says the soul is not cloned as well is there?

I say we let the next 5 years take its toll and then we will see what happens.

Well of course, but being a pretty devoted Catholic, I believe that your soul is concieved at birth. Sure there's no way to tell, but it's my opinion.

All I have to say is, we are playing god everyday, 24/7.

Judging someone (jury/judge), death penalty, saving lives, and many other things. Cloning is not the beginning, nor the end of our little "roleplaying".

No matter what anyone says, its always happening. Its human nature.

Curse our intellect!

Let us go back to the days when saying "poop" was funny.
