Does not look to be creation but the manipulation of life.

Think I’ll get me one of them $29.99 genetics kits and cook up some delayed onset pneumonic Ebola this weekend, just for kicks.

“The new discipline, established by scientists such as human genome pioneer Craig Venter, involves stripping microbes down to their basic genetic constituents so they can be reassembled and manipulated to create new life forms.”

Ah, mankind -

"We don't know enough "

After a disaster, we always hear the, "we didn't know."

This time though, mankind might not be around to hear it.
