BECAUSE NO ONE CONSIDERS US NATURAL ANYMORE:

Artificial Life Likely in 3 to 10 Years (SETH BORENSTEIN, 8/19/07, AP)

Around the world, a handful of scientists are trying to create life from scratch and they're getting closer.

Experts expect an announcement within three to 10 years from someone in the now little-known field of "wet artificial life."


You do have to love the way scientists sit in the lab and disprove Science.

Somebody has to do it.

When scientists really do create wet artificial life, some will claim it disproves Religion, and OJ with about 6 other people will claim it disproves Science. They'll all be wrong.

"Around the world, a handful of scientists are trying to create life from scratch and they're getting closer."

What an astoundingly silly statement. Like saying that we're "getting closer" to immortality. What, exactly, is their basis for such claims? Silly scientists.

When scientists Create they'll have demonstrated Creationism.

That's it of course. The idea seems to be that intelligently designed "life" disproves intelligent design. Does not compute. . .does not compute. . ..

The poor children seem to have forgotten that they themselves are but an intermediate cause.

Even better, they think they are Natural but that which they Create will be Artificial.

Artificial? What are they gonna do - infuse some DNA into a plastic helix or a buckeyball?
