So they’ve built a model of an organism simple enough to be mimicked by a robot and a small onboard computer. That is a nice animated model. It is not alive.

More precisely: does it eat, metabolize and eliminate waste, and reproduce? What is new about a mechanized robot?

I saw that movie Transcendence last week. It got terrible reviews - I don’t know why, I thought it was pretty good. I thought it was quite interesting how a super intelligence may work, creating and using nanobots

When I heard “worm” I didn’t think of Obama. I thought of RINO Boehner. Spineless worm.

Very astute. I think Jim is referring to this story told by a rabbi on Praeger. While the words are not the same you will see my point.
It is the end of time and man approaches God. Man says "God, we don't need you anymore as we can create life." God replies "You can create life starting with just dirt?" Man says "yes we can" and starts to create life. God interrupts and says: "Get your own dirt."

Are we on the brink of creating artificial life? ..... No, you created a program that would mimic the actions of a worm and it mimicked the actions of a worm.
That is no more life then a clock going "tick-tock".

This is a very misleading article. Abiogenesis studies the beginnings of life. Imprinting a worm on a computer brain, while impressive, hasn’t anything to do with the original “spark of life” and neither endeavor speaks to evolution which does not deal with ultimate origins but rather deals with changes in organisms.

Scientists digitise the brain of a WORM and place it inside a robot Worm brains are too complex. They should have digitized the brain of a Ferguson protester.

that is not creating life!
to create life you must take something non living and make it come alive.

BTW you can live vicariously through me banging Amy in episode "Proposition Infinity" originally aired July 8, 2010.
