Dracula Sides With Scientists

In the movie VanHelsing, Dracula has captured Frankenstein's creation, much to the creature's distress:

"What are you complaining about? This is why you were made, to prove that God is not the only one who can create life. And now, you must give that life to my children."

Wow, sounds like the embrionic stem cell debate, in a nutshell, with the bloodsuckers insisting that embryos are created by Man, and thus can be disposed of according to Man's will.

Frankenstien's creation later says "I want to live." Can we let that be the embryo's a priori answer as well?

Wormwood coming? Don't tell Hal Lindsey.

Odd tidbit from CNN.com:

In April, Louis, a solid-state physicist at Mahatma Gandhi University, published a paper in the prestigious peer-reviewed journal Astrophysics and Space Science in which he hypothesizes that the samples -- water taken from the mysterious blood-colored showers that fell sporadically across Louis's home state of Kerala in the summer of 2001 -- contain microbes from outer space.

Blood colored rain? Uh-Oh..

Louis speculates that the particles could be extraterrestrial bacteria adapted to the harsh conditions of space and that the microbes hitched a ride on a comet or meteorite that later broke apart in the upper atmosphere and mixed with rain clouds above India.

A large rock from space, you say?

Revelation 8
8 The second angel sounded, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood,

9 and a third of the creatures which were in the sea and had life, died; and a third of the ships were destroyed.

10 The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of waters.

11 The name of the star is called Wormwood; and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.

I can't wait to see if anyone jumps on this one as a 'sign' of the impending apokalypse.
