Xard Posted December 19, 2007 Posted December 19, 2007 Link It has been 50 years since scientists first created DNA in a test tube, stitching ordinary chemical ingredients together to make life's most extraordinary molecule. Until recently, however, even the most sophisticated laboratories could make only small snippets of DNA -- an extra gene or two to be inserted into corn plants, for example, to help the plants ward off insects or tolerate drought. Now researchers are poised to cross a dramatic barrier: the creation of life forms driven by completely artificial DNA. Bloody hell How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective. I dare you to show your builds and I will tear you apart in an arugment about how these builds will won them. - OverPowered Godzilla (OPG)

Azure79 Posted December 19, 2007 Posted December 19, 2007 You gotta wonder if we aren't some artificial DNA that developed sentient life. Maybe the galaxy is really just a swirl in a petri dish in some alien lab. That would be pretty interesting.

taks Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 You gotta wonder if we aren't some artificial DNA that developed sentient life. such an ability by current humans would certainly lend credence to this idea. at least, it goes from the realm of not possible to plausible. really, if we could do it, why couldn't someone else have done it before? taks comrade taks... just because.
