The quarrel is not with that, the quarrel is with a culture confused about how it values different kinds of organism, whether you\u2019re talking about animal research or embryo research. The problem lies with our lack of clarity in that area, and I don\u2019t suggest for a moment that that is a difficulty we shall solve overnight or even that there is any one, compelling religious or moral framework which will answer all those questions straight away. I note simply that those are the issues that religious faith has an obligation to keep in the public sphere.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/7622297540113836091-8977848170504935691?l=exploringourmatrix.blogspot.com\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here\u2019s the latest from LOST\u2019s bosses about the mysteries of the show (HT SF Signal).
