2) Assuming your answer to #1 is “Yes,” does it matter how scientists create life in a laboratory? What objection do you have to the synthetic life being put together by computer driven lab equipment?
3) Assuming your answer to #1 is “Yes,” will you worship the scientists that are successful?
4) If your answer to #1 is “No,” what is your argument on the creation of life?
Remember, there is a significant difference between "We have not figured it out yet, but we will." and "It is impossible, we will never be able to figure it out, because it violates some law of Physics." Abiogenesis does NOT violate any known law of Physics. Therefore, we will figure it out; we will create simple life in a laboratory. It took the earth a little over a billion years, a reducing atmosphere, large oceans rich in organic compounds, and energy sources to create the first life forms. We probably cannot duplicate that process because we do not have the time to let it work. ” Does it matter how scientists create life in a laboratory? What objection do you have to the synthetic life being put together by computer driven lab equipment? Is creation of life a power reserved to God or not? (Maybe you should worship the computer? ;-) ) What EXACTLY is your argument on this issue?
Scientists working on abiogenesis are getting very close. Here is one example; Craig Venter has made a complete cell nucleus with all needed DNA for a living cell. He can put his DNA sequences (synthetic chromosomes, the Information for life that he created, into a cell and highjack the cell's molecular machinery to reproduce more cells with his DNA chromosomes. This is very close; Vetner has proven that humans can figure out, completely, how to program a living cell. NOTE: Venter's DNA builds the molecular machinery in the reproduced cells. If information is the hard part, Venter has done it.
