Biologist (Almost) Creates Artificial Life
Aditya Malik writes "Wired has an interesting story up about how a lab led by Jack Szostak, a molecular biologist at Harvard Medical School, is building 'protocells' from artificial molecules which are very close to satisfying the conditions for being 'alive.' 'Szostak's protocells are built from fatty molecules that can trap bits of nucleic acids that contain the source code for replication. Combined with a process that harnesses external energy from the sun or chemical reactions, they could form a self-replicating, evolving system that satisfies the conditions of life, but isn't anything like life on earth now, but might represent life as it began or could exist elsewhere in the universe.' This obviously raises some questions about creationism, not to mention some scary bio-research-gone-wild scenarios."
Yeah, I don't get that line either, this creates questions about creationism HOW?!
Sure life may evolve into being able to create more life, but what the fuck does that have to do with creationism? There is no fucking proofs or anything pointing for that religious bullshit, how could this possible make some made up story about the invisible, never possible to test, never to be observed, non-existant piece of bullshit true or worth discussing at all!?!
Stupid fuck who submitted this story. There is no questions about creationism, there is nothing to be discussed, there is no topic whatsoever.
Maybe we could use nanotechnology to develop some new bullets or something to help us get rid of the ID-people?
Are there still actually questions about Creationism?
I mean, beyond, "why do we still allow human beings to be to believe in Creationism?"
This here is nanomachine engineering. Arranging molecules. Making devices that perform certain functions.
If it's life-like, then yay, we can check that box, and get on to finding profitable uses for the technology.
Bahaha, seriously, you have no idea what you're on about and you sound like a fucking moron.
Do yourself and favour and shut up already.
Hehe, this is Slashdot at its finest.
How we know is more important than what we know.
"So damn sick of people who have no idea how something works lending their halfassed opinions to the matter and expecting people to listen."
Yet you lend your half-assed opinion on a subject you obviously know nothing about and expect it to be modded insightful or interesting.
Get out of here, fool. We don't fall for that kind of nonsensical correlation and illogical thinking (except for the fools with a UID as high as yours.)
Still waiting on Serviscope_minor to wake up to fucking reality and realize that Jessica Price isn't going to fuck him.
