Don't you get it? It's just another lie like "change."
Scientific pursuit of the conditions within which life was created is a valid scientific pursuit. There are none, nor should there be, any areas in the natural Universe "off limits" to science.
Not quite sure what lie to which you refer. The report is quite hopen and honest about what it does and does not conclude.

Not saying it should be off limits to scientific pursuit. I don't think we are able to do it, that's all. Go on, keep trying. No skin off my nose.
There is a lot of hype about this issue. The media insist on implying that scientists can create life, have created it, are creating it, just one more test, and we can make superman from the ooze. Eugenics will be so much easier when we're god and create some life here. We can clean up all of God's mistakes. That's a lie designed to upset people who believe that creating life is the power of God alone.
As I keep repeating, it's a little thing by itself, but added to all the rest of the "news stories" that are designed to cause anger, fear, and confusion, it becomes a destructive force for our culture and our people.
Yes, I look like a stupid old fool for raising this issue because it's only one small thing, but if a lot of us had slapped stuff like this down during the past 30 years, we wouldn't be in the pickle we're in now. 'sall I'm saying.
