Science – Trying to replace God

Note that I said “Trying”

Those wacky scientists are at it again, but this time they don’t just want to clone people or create some weird mutation….ooohhhh no…they want to play God. They want to create life from scratch, artificial life mind you, and they think they know how to do it. I’m quite skeptical since most cloning processes have always ended up creating replicas with serious illnesses and finally pass on from some sort of freaky cancerous tumor. I can only imagine what type of damnable thing they could possible create out of this.

Logically I believe that nothing will come of this. It will fail, and i’m pretty sure that science can’t do a better job at creating life than the big man upstairs (thats GOD to many of you). I just don’t understand the urge for scientists to do such a thing as this. We already have a very effective and pleasurable way to recreate life and it doesn’t usually involve a test tube, a beaker, and some lab equipment. Unless of course your in to that kind of thing or something.

Still, this is what the scientists claim:

Around the world, a handful of scientists are trying to create life from scratch and they’re getting closer.

Experts expect an announcement within three to 10 years from someone in the now little-known field of “wet artificial life.”

“It’s going to be a big deal and everybody’s going to know about it,” said Mark Bedau, chief operating officer of ProtoLife of Venice, Italy, one of those in the race. “We’re talking about a technology that could change our world in pretty fundamental ways — in fact, in ways that are impossible to predict.”

I’m pretty sure I can forsee what the first major reaction to this would be and it isn’t so impossible to predict. I’m sure most people will dislike or hate this type of worldwide announcement. Most people will abhor the notion all together and will find ways to distrust or disapprove of the scientific method in which this path was taken.

Either way I seriously doubt that it will ever come to fruition and even if it did the creation wouldn’t produce the effects that they want it to. I’m fairly certain that in the end that God will have the last say in this matter, but it’s just a matter of time before he speaks on it.
