If you clone a human being, who supposedly lived 2,000 years ago, aren't you just going to get another human, without the mystical powers, etc?

I agree, it may be a good copy but it won't have any of the knowledge or life experience of the original.
The only reasons I can see to clone humans is to be able to harvest body parts or to create a form of slavery to perform our work or fight in our wars.
IMO cloning humans is a very dangerous and unsavory use of our scientific abilities.

Fuzzy, human beings don't have mystical powers. If Jesus could be cloned, we'd get a radical, socialistic, kind, decent rabbi, with a gift for oratory.
I do wonder, though, what age would the cloned version be? Would they be a fully formed adult, the same age as the DNA that was used?

As another resident atheist (or Secular humanist if you like), I often wondered about Star Trek's transporter. If you take the view that personality, soul or whatever you want to call it is actually a function of the billions of interconnections within the human brain, then if you can accurately clone a person, then the clone will be the same person in all respects.
