Scientists in the US have succeeded in developing the first synthetic living cell.

The researchers constructed a bacterium's "genetic software" and transplanted it into a host cell.

The resulting microbe then looked and behaved like the species "dictated" by the synthetic DNA.

The advance, published in Science, has been hailed as a scientific landmark, but critics say there are dangers posed by synthetic organisms.

But they didn't create "life" as they transplanted it to an already living host cell - they just manipulated what Yahuweh already did

As the joke goes with Yahuweh saying "get your own dirt"

Right on, Walt. If nothing else, they've conclusively proved that life does not occur without a designer and a great deal of effort. Whatever they did, it was not accidental, as the theory of evolution requires.

I think that too - especially with the fact they know that DNA is a language... language is designed...
