Agreed, I am shocked by the number of freepers that believe this story, that actually believed man could take mere chemicals and create life. How many more will fall for “the lie” in the book of revelation when they see “miracles before their eyes”
I'm shocked that so many FReepers are myopically focused on the religious issue of creating life, and not marveling at the possibilities this may lead to. If we can synthesize DNA, inject it into a host cell, which will then obey the commands of the synthetic DNA, then this is one helluva breakthrough. This could change medicine and agriculture as we know it. This could be as important as the discovery of electricity or fire.
