Scientists Create Life From Aritificial And Synthetic Materials. by ElRazur: 10:15pm On May 20, 2010 |
Yes, you read that right. Scientist finally managed the creation of artificial in laboratory conditions. My question now, is what will religious people say about this? Please do not tell me "God gave us this talent and now we are just merely implementing what God gave us". It will be a laughable line of defence to be honest. The paraphrase of the whole process is as follows, a copy of a "bacteria" genome was replicated with synthetic materials, with the addition of DNA water marks - materials that prevent copy or identify a copied gene - so as to differentiate it from the real gene. All of this was then taken and implanted into another "bacteria" cell. All the synthetic materials added into the "bacteria" cell then controls the cell-division of the host cell it was implanted into. This then lead to production of a new cell, but based on the synthetic materials. [This is my understanding] Ladies and Gentlemen, the cell in question have divided a billion times since the experiment. While there are obvious great application for this in health and what not, there may be potential for some dangers too. But as it stand, I am keen on hearing from people, especially, those who are fill this is wrong religiously, ethically etc. ![]() Story from take from http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/science/biology_evolution/article7132299.ece |

If scientist are so good,why cant they create man like the bible tells God did? Every artificial things have replacements,replacement ought to have been made to kidney so the doctors will not need to take from another person when someone else's fails/gets damaged. Until science does these,it still not all knowing&somethng still knows more than Science. |

toba: Just listen to yourself. ![]() Many things are possible, however ethics are on of the biggest hurdle that Scientist have to face. With stem cells, it is possible to use it in theory to build any organ, however their are people like you who weigh enormous influence and lobby the government in slowing us down. The difference between science and religion is that Science try to find a rationale behind and event using logic, proven facts, known theories and experiments etc. However religion just attributes everything to go without any proper explanation. For example, Babies comes from God, the liquid in coconut was put in their by God etc. When in fact, there are explanations for these things. By the way, instead of looking at it from a religion point of view, it may be worth looking at what this application mean for mankind. What it means for Microbiology/Medical Microbiology, medicine application etc. |

Elraz. Im not looking at it from religious angle. The way u started by saying 'lets see what religious people would say ' is inciting. Science may have done well but alot is still beyond science you know? |

toba: Our people have religion entwined into their cultures, daily lives and almost everything. It makes it an attracting offer to call them via their beliefs. ![]() Again, I am not sure science knows everything - most people who consider themselves knowledgeable in science will be the first to admit that. But then, trying to use God to explain everything is something that can defy logic at times. ![]() |
