Man has come very close to producing synthetic life. We have made proteins, self replicating molecules. It only a matter of time until man creates living matter from non living matter. Will that make man God? Is then a God need to have life?
With regards to the mechanism we call
life. The probability of even the simplest mechanisms which constitute
life occurring by chance is a 1 with 200+ zeros behind it. Let alone
subsystems like the eyes and ears.
This thread originated with Parksie griping
about our pushing to have intelligent design taught in the schools,
heaven forbid! I don't mind the idea of survival of the fittest being
taught in schools, that is a clearly demonstrated principal. However
Darwinism comes down to spontaneous biogenesis which is, IMHO
nonsense. Then there is the belief that one species can mutate into
another, such that their offspring cannot mate one with another, which
has never been observed.
Furthermore, I don't think that we have any
real understanding of how life works. IMHO, there is an energy called
Chi, one component of which comes up from the Earth, and the other
which comes down from the sky. Some how they interact with the
mechanism to make what we call life.
Life has the ability to reset the DNA's
program through the sexual fusion process. In most cases, this sorts
out all the defects, allowing for an old man and a middle aged woman
to make a baby that is truly young. This is why I think that cloning
is such a waste of time. Dolly was born a middle aged
sheep.
Since the gearhead scientists are unable to
explain what most of the DNA does they labeled it Junk DNA! It's like
me taking a machine apart, since I don't have a good understanding of
how this machine works, I label the parts that I don't understand
junk. IMHO, this is hubris on a grand
scale.
With respect to man becoming like G-d, this
is the great lie what was told in the Garden of Eden. There is however
a quantum jump between our carnal minds and G-d's. It comes down to
holiness, or kadosh as we say in Hebrew. HaShem AKA G-d says, be ye
holy as I am holy, that's why I'm such a big fan of Torah. The reason
that the world is in such a mess is because of Human Evil. Like bugs
in a petri dish, we've overgrown, and are poisoning the planet.
BTW, there is evidence that the human population is beginning to
crash, between sexual transmitted diseases and bad diet.
This illustrates two fundamental differences between Parksie's
materialistic worldview, and a spiritual worldview which is held by
people such as myself. He ignores the fact that life reverses the
second law, which should be obvious to someone with his education. He
is clueless about the energy element of life, he denies Chi, witness
his attacks on energy medicine. This ignorance grows out of his
G-dless world view.
