Playing G-d.

G-d can control His creation. Humans are not gods and will not long control theirs.

Actually not. This is a modified code placed into a living cell. Not a cell created from scratch. The level of complexity difference is not even calculatable. For example take a functioning cell wall, there has never been a functioning cell wall created. There have been claims of such, but when reviewed are found to be complete nonsense.

Who knows. Fauci should give samples of this artificial organism to the ChiCom’s Wuhan biological lab to find out. Hell, they may try some “gain of function” on it.

morphological variation = evolution

They have determined how to stop the organism from evolving

Exactly!

If it can merge with living cells we'll have The Blob and The Thing combined (The BlobThing?)

We have reached the point where our ability to produce technology has far outstripped our wisdom in using it.

This could so backfire....

God. I don’t know who Hod is (except maybe the misspelling genie that lives in my finger.)
