the fate of the mythical Icarus, whose home-made wings melted when he
flew too close to the sun."
Yes, by all means. Let's promote one myth by quoting from a different
one! And to *scientists*, yet! Benny the Rat's sure got a mouth on `im,
eh? JP2 may have been a murderer too, but at least the man displayed
tact from time to time. This guy's the Danny Kaye of the Vatican. Think
he'll go down in history as "Benny the Hapless"?

I think scientists should draft a response to the pope that simply reads
"What the ***** are you babbling about?"
Seriously, phrased like that it would be interesting to see how the news
services handle it, and how the vatican responds.

And that they can talk and act like human beings because they are human

I think a little attitude on the part of scientists would make them more
approachable to the ordinary person.

What does he mean "artificial intelligence"? He's certainly not using it
in the sense that scientists or other technically savvy people use it.
So what is he going to do? Change his mind on Galileo and declare as a
doctrine of faith that the Earth is the center of the universe and the
Sun revolves around it?
Hey, Benny! It's the 21st century already.

Pope warns scientists not to risk fate of Icarus
Sun Oct 22, 2006 4:28 AM BST
ROME (Reuters) - Pope Benedict told scientists on Saturday that by
believing only in "artificial intelligence" and technology they risked
the fate of the mythical Icarus, whose home-made wings melted when he
flew too close to the sun.
"Contemporary life gives pride of place to an artificial intelligence
ever more enslaved to experimental tecnhiques, thereby forgetting that
all science should safeguard mankind and promote his tendency to
authentic goodness," the Pope said.
The German-born Pope, a theology professor and an enforcer of Vatican
dogma before his election as pontiff last year, has voiced his concerns
about some areas of scientific research that clash with the teachings of
the Roman Catholic Church.
Like his predecessor Pope John Paul II, Benedict is against stem cell
technology, which researchers say could help cure serious illnesses but
the Church opposes it because it often relies on cells from embryo
tissue.
The Vatican teaches that human life begins at conception.
The Pope reminded academics and students at a Catholic university in
Rome of Icarus who, in the Greek myth, made wings with feathers and wax
to escape captivity in Crete. Ignoring the warnings of his father
Daedalus, he flew too close to the sun, resulting in his "ruinous fall
and death," the Pope said.
"Letting yourself be seduced by discovery without paying attention to
the criteria of a deeper vision could lead to the drama the myth speaks
of," he told the Pontifical Lateranense University at the inauguration
of a new academic year.

Are you sure that you are not getting feathers confused with
choir-boys' pubes?
And wax with wanks?
You can work the oil out for yourself!
