Scientists Claim They Engineered New Life Form
Why is all this crazy stuff that provokes God seem to be happening in Minnesota?
Last week the Mayor of Minneapolis signed a new law allowing gay bath houses to operate in the city which would allow gay and queer men to show up and have sex with strangers with the blessing of city officials.
Today we read troubling news that some scientists at the University of Minnesota have made a life form that grows, eats and reproduces.
Scientists claim that for the first time in history, they have constructed a synthetic cell that feeds, grows, and replicates — just like a natural one — out of non-living chemical components.
The team from the University of Minnesota says their “SpudCell” is the “first synthetic cell with a complete cell cycle,” and can “grow, replicate its genome, divide, and undergo selection and competition across multiple generations.”
The research, which is being hailed as a major breakthrough, could usher in a new biotech era defined by synthetic organisms that can be grown from scratch and programmed to complete specific functions. It’s a futuristic approach that could open many doors for our efforts to solve a wide variety of human problems, from fighting cancer to capturing carbon.
It could also challenge our preconceived notions of what’s considered “life,” while exploring the essential functions of a living cell.
“We’ve replicated in chemistry what only used to be possible in biology: the complete set of behaviors of a cell,” said team lead and University of Minnesota synthetic biologist Kate Adamala in a statement about the work. “It proves that the most fundamental functions of life, like growth and replication, do not need a mysterious magical spark.”
Yet the research is still in its infancy. SpudCell is still primitive, most closely resembling a bacterium. But since it’s built from scratch, the team says it has some key advantages over natural cells.
“I know the full ingredient list of the cell, I know exactly what chemicals, what molecules at what concentrations,” Adamala told CNN. “It is fully defined, which means we can engineer it.”
“We’re hoping we’re really starting the true age of bioeconomy, enabling technology that will let people engineer biology,” she added.
Here; Scientists Build Fully Synthetic Life Form That Can Eat and Reproduce
We don't need God or some "mysterious magical spark" to create life! We can engineer life in any form we want! We are masters of the universe!
This news certainly falls into the file of "as it was in the days of Noah". When is Jesus coming for us so that the burning hail can fall after we are gone?
