KingEbukasBlog: Did it teach you how to log into your Nairaland account and type rubbish, or did you teach yourself? You're a stone cold liar, the truth cannot be found in your person. Let your 3 gods speak for themselves. If you can create time, you should be able to open your mouth. Hahaha. You remind me of that Elijah and Baal story, except your own god is Baal. All you do is run your mouth, day and night, talking talking talking. Show me the magic or shut up. Be a man for once. 4 Likes 1 Share |

KingEbukasBlog: Mad person. See what I mean? What happened to answering by fire again? The Baal followers were more honest human beings than you. They even tried self flagellation, cutting their skin, in an attempt to bring out their magic. Every honest human being understands the nature of the challenge. Magic must come out or you STFU. If you don't have magic, STFU. 1 Like |

All the scientists have to do now is inspire the microbe to write a book and share it with his friends. "We don't want microbes to leave the lab after 7 pm. Microbes shouldn't eat sugary products. No mast(u)ration in microbe land. Microbes shouldn't kill other microbes." If the designers could only speak microbees... 3 Likes |

Joshthefirst: plaetton: You aren't just lying Plaetton, but I've finally seen your true color. You are shallow. You saw this article on bloomberg and didn't even bother to look into details, but blatantly ran away to misrepresent original research in hopes of advertising and confirming your world view. Scientists did not create life, they engineered a very simple life-form. Did they synthesize its genome from raw-materials? No. Did they design any aspect at all of the engineered organism's cell? No. They essentially did cut and join and removed non-essential genes from the genome of their raw material until they found a functional point. Scientists engineer a life form and plaetton comes on nairaland to report that life has been created in the lab. Shame on you.
Source And I can no longer truly take you seriously, you, or any other parader that has come to this thread to pat your back. I'm truly disappointed in you, and Kay. I know it may not mean anything to you, but I once held you in high esteem as someone who didn't talk falsehoods or misrepresent to promote his beliefs. But that has continued to change of recent, and this thread is the straw that has broken the camels back. Are you even a scientist in any way? I seriously doubt. menesheh: I weep for the way anti-theism has turned normal rational thinking folks into skewed paraders like this. I have no time for derived mockers who know nothing about science as it seems. 4 Likes |

If engineering a new life form is different from creating a new life form, then I should be asking for a refund of all my English lessons paid for. Basically, you are implying that in your universe, your God is simply a creator, a cosmic magician that pulls rabbits of out of a cosmic hat. He is neither an author, designer, architect , engineer or programmer, just a magical creator who creates from cosmic nothing. 4 Likes 1 Share |

I believe man have been able to achieve many things the present human on this planet will find shocking if put out there. Over 8 billion people on this planet and most are deeply religious. The mindset of the earth's population determines what information will be given out. Even when people study science,they still hold their religious ideas strongly. It is very possible for consciousness to be passed into a biologically created body. The creation of the internet was mocked at first but today it is nothing new. I will say maybe the next generation will embrace them much better. 2 Likes |

ifenes: It's simply amazing how savvy children in this modern era are with computing devices. It is as if consciousness gradually shifts or EVOLVES from one generation to the next. It is religion that has tended to re.tard this gradual and natural evolution of consciousness. 2 Likes |

Joshthefirst: This is the sort of thing that some people do that makes me angry, this article points out that they worked on the M. Mycoides cell and to create Syn3.0, a synthetic cell that has a lower number of genes than any other bacterium found in the wild and can still support life. The Guardian corroborates the story. So does Medline. Don't lie to protect your fragile beliefs. 1 Like |

plaetton: Exactly my thoughts and observations too. Kids learn on the I pad today,tomorrow they will think its best to install microchips or directly pass this subjects into the brain,hence less time for school and more time for practicals. Gone will be the days of 20 years in schools. The humans on the planet will be 5 times more capable than we are today and much less religious. Evolution is definitely a gradual process. It can be painful sometimes for individuals who think ahead of others,only to be slowed down by Pastors and Imams who still control vast amount of the population. 1 Like |

Even the emboldened text prove that you and plaetton know absolutely nothing about consciousness . Plus there is no such thing as the evolution of consciousness - that's a quintessential evolution-of-the-gaps .

CoolUsername:You of all people should not speak foolishly. I posted the process of engineering of Syn3.0. They simply chiselled out non-essential parts of the mycoides genome to create a least functional unit. How does this equate to synthesizing life? The first part of the experiment where design was involved failed. It is clearly stated there. CoolUsername: This is a foolish analogy. An unhewn rock forming a sculpture is not the same as an already designed genome being cut down to a reduced functional unit. Call the experiment what it is. Don't be dishonest to promote your fragile belief. Unfortunately I grow sick when I spend too much time discussing with charlatans. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Joshthefirst has a valid grouse with the OP, Plaetton expresses a unique perspective. Someone asked if a car with lots of it's bits out was a car. A similar thread runs through whether a cell with 5000 is same with a cell with 450. It's a tough question though. I don't think each part of car is a car. The tyre individually isn't a car. A windscreen isn't a car neither is a chassis. Your view might be reasonably different. You might think the fact all the parts need not be present for there to be a car. You can still have a car with only a chassis and tyres or chassis only. Similarly is a cell without 2/3 of its genes still that same cell? If not, then there is an act of creation by reduction. A sculpture is an example of creation by reduction. The old material becomes an entirely different existence from its finished product. Plaetton finds such to be the handiwork of bioengineering. They have in effect created or recreated life. While you might not agree ONLY you think the cell with reduced parts is still the same. |

plaetton: Bros, I seriously admire you - your knowledge, articulation and all. But I differ seriouslly when it comes to belief in personal God as opposed to atheism. One thing I know though is that what you (and your colleagues) do here these days is not new at all. Many theocratic leaders - both past and present - have had to lock horns with folks like you countlessly over the years. But one thing is clear - the belief in the existence of a personal God who created the entire universe has never been, and can never be rooted out of the collective consciousness of the human race. It can never happen. Here is the thing: when in your logic you fail/refuse to acknowledge the existence of this God as clearly and LOGICALLY illustrated through the entire creation, you'll simply miss him entirely. You know why? Because never again will he make himself known to you except through those things you consider silly and outstandingly foolish. It won't be through the logic of nature and science anymore. And he does that to show you that even what you may consider his sillyness, is way smarter than ALL levels of human smartness put together. And you know what else, the LAST thing this God will do is to explain himself to anyone - it matters nothing even if the entire universe depends on it. Your perception or zero perception of him makes no difference. He is God all by himself. 3 Likes |

paschu:My dear friend, thank you for your kind words and insight. If God exists, I still think that those us of who question and seek understsnding of deep existential questions would be his favorites. If God imbued us with a mind to think, then I think we owe him an obligation to use it, including questioning his existence and origins. 1 Like 1 Share |

Weah96: Well, it's like you got me wrong entirely. When I said he won't explain himself to anyone, I was not talking about explaining his personality, preferences or artributes. What I mean is that he will never try to exonorate himself from your disdain, acusations or downright disregard. He will never try to justify or clear himself to you, me or anyone. You either seek to know him or you don't. What you think or say about him makes him no less The God. 1 Like 1 Share |
