You are assuming I know more then I know.. As for 'in a threefold gloom' have no idea.. I have found two other translation where it is 'in triple darkness' and in another it is 'three veils of darkness' so I will probably have to ask some one who knows what it means..

As for cloning of humans, in my mind it is a question of morality.. Cloning is not creation.. Now man knows how to splice and dice better.. Not sure how the masses, whether Muslims or Christians will look at cloning.. How far one would go.. Would you create a clone of yourself so that you can have parts to replace as your own fail ?? Say 100 years from now.. But that is how I think.. Would you want to live forever along that line..

I don't see any dichotomy in terms of religion and science. If God is the creator, the process of creation is not limited in time and space.. It is ongoing.. and what man discovers is par of the course.. 100 years ago, one would have died very young because of any number of diseases.. Say heart trouble.. It would have been considered, God's will.. Now you have a pace maker in your heart and it keeps on chugging or any number of other advances that will let you live 30-40 years more.. Does not really mean man is becoming a God.. He has now advanced and discovered what he is allowed or supposed to is how I look at it..
