Hmmmm. I recall not so long ago, reading about the first human made species. It was some sort of bacteria, I think, created entirely artificially using DNA. The article failed to mention if the scientists were religious or not.
Wish I had the link for you.
The what ... "first human made species" - you mean a variation within a species such as in mating a poodle with another type of dog? No, a species does not arise from bacteria UNLESS it is a variation of the existing species of bacteria. Man does NOT create DNA. It shouldn't matter if the scientists were "religious" or not since truth is truth.
"Wish I had the link for you."
Yeah, this would be an interesting link.
