Yes there is a nuture element to creativity as well as a nature element. Again, I never said Mozart could be "recreated." A clone of Mozart would very likely have a lot of musical talent as well as name recognition/celebrity status. That's were the rock star part came from.

The back handed title in your first post was deliberately insulting, even though for whatever reason you tried to pretend it wasn't. At least have the balls to admit your shit talk - which was based on your own idiotic misinterpretations.

Now go away little man.

    - Creativity and intelligence are developed. They are not ONLY a function of inheritance. It is stupid to think that you can recreate a Mozart just by cloning his DNA. (n/t) - Daniel - 11/5/2004 4:38:51 AM
