Synthetic Life Becomes Reality

[zzap]

Boris Rezhabek, the head of Noosphere Developments Institute is one of them: "Nobody has seen scientific materials he made. Transferring DNA in a live cell, which he used not created, is not new. All genetic engineering is based on this. He made artificial DNA fragments which later transferred in a cell - this is also not a novelty."

Looks to me this is evidence of 'Intellegent Design".

I love how religion is all about peace but it causes so much

This really is great news. The implications are huge. The most puzzling thing for me is why anyone would vote the video down...

The longest carbon chain molecule ever made in a lab synthetically is around 120 carbon atoms long. Anything beyond that requires a cell from either plant or animal using biotechnology.

I watched this on the TED talk. It was awsome!

press F5 to skip the ad! have to be on windows .. idk if it works for mac.. but yeah re comment pass it on!

its not the same

it is chemistry, we assign different letters to the different chemicals that will react to make each amino acid to make each protein.

@ekajeht
I am not implying anything, but may i ask what is your position concerning science?

[behnamasid]

Imagine the possibilities of this new technology, It could either transform our lives, or it could just kill us if it goes out of control.

@ekajeht "the image of God" is morality. God gave us the breath of life and we became able to love and appreciate God, while other animals cannot.

@fuunguus and where did u get those numbers?pg?paragraph?line?

[scaro]

this combined with the human genome project would be disastrous. It would be exactly like what he movie I-Robot was trying to say.

Dear reader, When we look at words on a screen, we see letters, but we are actually looking at pixels. On my screen, they are black dots on a white background. If you magnify text on a computer screen, you will see many dots, and if you zoom in enough, the letters are no longer visible; only individual dots will be visible. This is similar to DNA molecules. God knows the letters, because he spoke our life into existence. "And God said, Let us make man in our image..." Genesis 1

[Zorriet]

do you think the letters g c a t are actually written on the base pairs?

do you know anything about dna ?

[RockSmithStudio]

@ekajeht "Kinds" is an undefined word and there is nothing in Genesis 1:25 that says that these dogs can become diverse, yet we know that dogs can become very diverse. "Dust of the earth" simply means that we came from the material used on earth. This is true since most organic minerals are in the dirt/earth.

Here's a bit of logic and reality: no living being can claim to know absolute truth simply because a living being can only perceive the world for itself. Every eye, every sensory system, every nerve in a body perceives a reality of its own. Do not deny each other's realities.

@Leehofooks Miller-Urey and Amino acids in space? Amino acids have been put into controlled lab conditions(pH, temp, aqueous environment, etc.) and they never once self assembled into DNA. You need the machinery of a cell and it's DNA to produce more cells and DNA. So what made the very first cell?
