...Speaking of synthetic, how about those Democrats pretending to be pro-life to help them next election!


Seriously this could be future good news, far better this than embryonic stem cells!

This isn't news. The liberals have been simulating life for years. Notice I did not say intelligent life. We reserve that term for things above earthworms on the evolutionary ladder.

The soft cell walls are made of fat molecules taken from egg white.

I'm reminded of a story:

A group of scientists were discussing which one of them was going to tell God they didn’t need him anymore. Finally, one volunteered and went to speak to God.

The scientist said to God, ‘Some of us have been thinking and have come to tell you that we really don’t need you anymore. You see, we’ve been coming up with great theories and ideas, we’ve cloned sheep, and we're on the verge of cloning humans. So as you can see, we really don’t need you.’

God nods understandingly and says. ‘I see. Well, no hard feelings. But before you go let's have a contest. What do you think?’

The scientist says, ‘Certainly . . . what kind of contest?’

God said, ‘A man-making contest.’

The scientist said, ‘Sure! No problem.’

The scientist bent down, picked up some dust and said, ‘OK, I’m ready!’

But God replied, ‘No, no, no . . . You make your own dust.’

As the depressed Syrian tow-truck driver would say, "Always."

"For me, life is just like a machine - a machine with a computer program. There's no more to it than that. But not everyone shares this point of view,"

I have no problem with his definition of life. However, I wished he would realize to have computer program requires a "programmer" not just "chance."

He said: "If you take our system out of its environment, it just doesn't function."

Truer words were never spoken. Now who do you suppose designed the environment?

all come from diverse realms of life

This is the clincher that will always bite them. They won't be able to create life from dead things, as they claim nature did.
