Researchers One Step Closer To Creating Life

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the mad-science dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Researchers at the Scripps Research Institute are potentially one step closer to creating life. In an experiment they recently created enzymes that can replicate and evolve. 'It kind of blew me away,' said team member Tracey Lincoln of the Scripps Research Institute, who is working on her Ph.D. 'What we have is non-living, but we've been able to show that it has some life-like properties, and that was extremely interesting.'"

    I don't see how this is an obligatory quote. It's barely able to summon a hint of a smile, is not that much relevant to the topic at hand, and is a barely noticeable sentence from a movie that has a lot of much better quotes to pick from.

    He also misquoted it. In the middle of that he also says "God creates man". At least get the quote right... ugh.
