Creation Of Life No Longer Domain Of God

God supposedly created Adam from dirt and by all accounts magiked the animals out of nothingness, so I fail to see how this compares or even challenges the "God did it!" crowd's beliefs.

BTW, watch, this will ignite the zombie apocalypse.

Dirt, amino acids, w/e.

This is not a modification of an existing bacteria, it's a lifeform with a genome that was created entirely by humans.

BAH. About as complex as completing a lego set. Its not like they invented plastic, and manufactured them into pieces, and made them pretty different colors.

Just create an organism that eats oil to survive... it will dissolve the spill, then it will die off when there's no more and thus has it's food source gone.

Pretty sure there is or some group(s) were are working on just that. A petroleum eating bacteria.

its ok. if there is one thing sci-fi original movies have shown us, it is that any problem no matter the size or type or severity, can be solved by detonating a nuke.

They created life?

Heh. We humans are total badasses.

i think its time for us to start giving our scientist white ropes or clothing and more power at least more weight and credibility in what they say maybe give them money and make some kind of institution where they may teach and shape the minds of young ppl like some other institutions.
