Homosexual activists understand the power of words.
Please visit my channel to watch a one-minute video clip in which popular atheist author Richard Dawkins admits that homosexual activists "hijacked the word 'gay'".
The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate because it, unlike the word "gay", actually describes the behavior/attraction/relationship being discussed.
The word "gay" helps homosexual activists push their agenda.
@DonMega187 In progress for over 100 years, and all man can show is Racemic mixtures. Or it takes INTELLIGENCE in controlled laboratory atmospheres to plagiarize a cell's design! Life comes from Life! You would have to be blind and stubborn to deny this!
@DonMega187 still the study for how life* originally came to be is in progress, but these scientists found probably more sure method. they explain bit more in "the cell" bbc documentary series, especially in the last part about possible theories split apart, but in nature the process may have taken thousands of years for all the possible aminoacids to develop it may not be possible to ever conclusively show it anywhere else except simulating the conditions for prooving the concepts itself
"now if he actually created a cell from something that is inorganic then that would be something"
Life, by definition, is a self replicating ORGANIC polymer, with a metabolism, you moron!! -Even If you believe "God did it" he had to use organic material!! Organic compounds exist everywhere that are not life- Even in outer space! Are you suggesting that these compounds in the rest of the universe actually are life too??

@adealin3 agreed , this is pure Frankenstein and the first question is why ? They expend so much energy poisoning the life God created, what in hells name do they want this shit for ?
Dont be fooled! Nobody has "created" life they have simply manipulated existing life, something lower than a worm speaks volumes.
@stiffex Creating Bio-Fuels for our vehicular get off of Foreign Oil,high protein food to end world hunger and really thousands of other things.Poisoning it? if its wrong why wont your all mighty god stop it?
@stiffex Oh no no no you see God didn't make us and this is how we prove that, slowly but surely. This is just the start! Remember when you Christians thought spitting on someone's wound would heal it? This is kinda like that only without being really dumb
@casualthug07 They don't replicate a human cell. and if they did replicate one type of human cells, it would be more than just 1/70 000 000 000 000 as we have alot of duplicates in those 70 trillion.

Yes it takes intelligence to design stuff, but when your brain fails to make a distinction between designed things and things that appear to be designed you get yourself into trouble. Before we understood chemistry and physics I am sure there were idiots like you running around talking about all kinds of mythical beings that "designed" snowflakes. Of course calling something designed and quitting is far easier than investigating it and truly understanding it, isn't it?
Of course it is "man made", what other animal do you suggest has the capabilities to make it? Of course it doesn't have anything to do with the origin of life, but it brings us one step closer to understanding the life's inner workings. One day when we discover the process and conditions that put together self replicating polymers we'll know for a fact a process and conditions that generate living things. It would also be man made, but it would demonstrate Abiogenesis empirically.
@imigrant00 First off Im a former atheist, The closet experiment to natural processes is the Miller experiment which was designed and it still failed abysmally. Chirality through natural processes is a disaster for evolutionists! This is a Fact of Biochemistry! LIFE COMES FROM LIFE!
What does your former atheism have to do with anything? Miller failed which is why we're not celebrating him as the guy who proved Abiogenesis. Kindly point how the existence of a molecule that lacks an internal plane of symmetry is a disaster for Evolution, and the sources for your information. Yes, self-replicating molecules produce more, self-replicating molecules. We are looking for a natural process that produces self-replicating molecules. God did it is not an explanation.
@imigrant00 I dont need to be convinced, I see it in lab everyday! So dont try to indoctrinate me back to atheism. Im not saying this is bad chemistry, but Saying natural processes did it is not an explanation either!! What about the homochirality problem?? How would you get all LEFT handed amino acids? There is no demonstrated source for such non-racemic mixture of sugars in any plausible pre-biotic environment.
Theists indoctrinate, atheism is not a doctrine. It is a disbelief in a proposed theistic doctrine. Learn the difference.
No one is saying natural processes did it with any kind of certainty, but we suspect they did, which is why we're looking for the mechanism. The Homochiralic property of amino acids is a field of active research in evolution and is at present poorly understood, but has nothing to do with how self replicating polymers originated. Also creation.com = FAIL
Ha! I didn't believe your former Atheism for one second. Caught you red handed. Do you now see how pretending to know something and instead just reading creation.com makes you look like an idiot? Of course you don't.
You seem to have trouble understanding the English language. I didn't call you any names. I merely explained what reading creationist webshites makes you look like.
Evolution is a FACT of Biology. I already explained to you that Homochirality is not the stumbling block your friends at creation.com say that it is and that it is completely unrelated to the search for the mechanism behind Abiogenesis. When scientists don't fully understand something they invest more time and effort in order to understand it. They don't cower with their tail between their legs, cry that its too complicated and say god did it, which sadly is exactly what you do.
@imigrant00 Evolution is far from a fact! INFORMATION is a disaster for abiogenesis! Molecules dont self organize, ever! and they never will. and you cant have evolution until you have abiogenesis which is IMPOSSIBLE!!! LIFE COMES FROM LIFE!!!!
Please provide an alternative theory that explains all the evidence and has the same predictive potential as Evolution or go back under the rock from which you crawled out of. While you're at it please provide positive evidence of anything supernatural. Also explain where your god came from. Also explain why your god is so often immoral. Maybe once you do these things you will begin to realize how fabricated and silly your god really is. But I would not count on it.
@HeywoodJablowem Man can engineer molecules! It shows how it takes INTELLIGENCE in controlled laboratory conditions to mimic, manipulate, plagiarize a cell's Design! Scientists COPY genetic sequences!! They dont create anything!!
Its all Man made Synthetic chemistry! and it has nothing to do with the origin of life!! Homochirality is a disaster for any sort of naturalistic origins! There is no demonstrated source for such non-racemic mixture of sugars in any plausible pre-biotic environment!
@HeywoodJablowem Yes I did, Like I said man can manipulate conditions in a controlled laboratory atmosphere!! Molecules cant self assemble..LOL gullible atheist! These experiments are not geochemical relevant reactions!! Meaning They would never occur on a primordial earth!!
@5tonyvvvv how about wikipedia for "self-assembly"
"Self-assembly is a term used to describe processes in which a disordered system of pre-existing components forms an organized structure or pattern as a consequence of specific, local interactions among the components themselves, without external direction. When the constitutive components are molecules, the process is termed molecular self-assembly."
@5tonyvvvv "Important examples of SA in materials science include the formation of molecular crystals, colloids, lipid bilayers, phase-separated polymers, and self-assembled monolayers.[1][2] The folding of polypeptide chains into proteins and the folding of nucleic acids into their functional forms are examples of self-assembled biological structures."
@5tonyvvvv what are u talking about? they self-assemble all the time. they may copy original designs but they still create them out of thin air, where there is no life they create life, although quite primitive at the moment still in a form that is not known to exist anywhere except on earth. one lifeform leads to more complex lifeforms, it's all just a chain reaction of developing the techniques and this much progress in such a short time is simply breathtaking. do not underestimate it
Point out exactly how Homochirality makes naturalistic origins impossible. Be very specific, cite scientific peer-reviewed literature which explains the mechanism which makes it impossible, or simply shut up. Apparently you have nothing to add to this discussion but baseless assertions.
I also detest your dishonest attempt to lie and say you used to be an atheist. Such dishonesty "speaks volumes about the bad faith of the faith based" - (The Hitch).
@NorthNorth2009 not true. You obviously didn't listen to everything he had to say. He isn't creating stuff for the hell of it. You do realize what this means. They can potentially create any type of cell. They could make a cell that has a selective property against the aids virus, or something like that
@NorthNorth2009 You hope I don't believe what? You hope that I don't believe that they can make microorganisms that target harmful bacteria and viruses? They obviously have they potential to do that. Are you stupid?
@NorthNorth2009 You obviously don't know anything about microbiology. I'm not saying I know everything, but you do know that bacteria acquire resistance to antibiotics???? Plasmid transfer through conjugation? Ring a bell? For example enterococcal infections can be dificult to treat now days thanks to resistance entercocci have acquired. Obviously technology like this could be used for bad things I don't deny that. There are some really amazing things you could do also
@dmoneywise Because there are those who over do it with the antibacterial agents. Wouldn't you expect them to become resistant. Well you just wait until they will cure any human who isn't a privelaged rich elite.
what? make new strains of algae that can capture co2 from atmosphere and make new hydrocarbons to make gas from co2? That sounds pretty cool but wouldnt it just burn off as co2 again after you burn it as gas? @ 17:40
@cheesynounou "what? make new strains of algae that can capture co2 from atmosphere and make new hydrocarbons to make gas from co2? That sounds pretty cool but wouldnt it just burn off as co2 again after you burn it as gas? @ 17:40"
Do you really need help with this?
Anyways, Co2 is the cause of global warming, Gas gives us combustable chemical to power engines, engines which are widespread in usage. Co2 being reduced is a good thing. Burning material like smoke from cigs and cars makes CO2
@iliveon Thanks smart stuff but "Anyways" Isn't a word. You're giving me facts about co2 instead of answering my question. Don't worry, I figured out my answer long time ago and I don't need your facts.
@cheesynounou yes and cigs isn't a real world either. And I didn't use a period at the end of my last sentence. And I shouldn't start a sentence with "and." Douchbag. That isn't a complete sentence either< And "<" isn't really a left arrow. Hey you forgot a comma before "but," found after "smart stuff." Stop being an asshat. I didn't mean to offend you and sorry for helping; it seemed like a good idea at first.
@cheesynounou True. However I think the point is instead of burning more and more fossil fuels we could reuse what is already there. Instead of accumulating more C02 in the atmosphere, we could keep it at a more steady rate.
I love this. Now how long until we can make these synthetic bacteria recycle CO2 into hydrogen? We already have a car made by BMW that can run on hyrdogen.
@tjinga2u1 Dr. Venter was the one who said that it was possible. Perhaps if its an aquadic organism that uses CO2 and H20, much like green algae. Perhaps it could be programed to be slightly less effiicient and "waste" Hydrogen.
Awesome (sarcastic)....you just made this thing and you're already interested in injecting humans with it and releasing it into the wild....a self replicating synthetic cell. You go Dr. Frankenstein! whats next....zombies?
@repapips2004 better check the accuracy of your psychic powers...to the contrary, I love science. Amateur Astronomer myself. If pointing out the need for caution in certain fields of study and research makes me "against science", I'll just have to try not to lose sleep about it. Going to the hospital is not the same as getting injected with a replicating synthetic cell....some odd logic there man. Gotta be careful about unexpected interactions, mutations, ect...'s all I'm sayin' man.
perhaps consciousness emerged because order comes before chaos so its not impossible 2 imagine consciousness is the true entity of existence which leads to everything (I'm talking beyond the universe, beyond parallel universes, beyond higher dimensions) consciousness comes first because chaos can't come first, order leads to chaos and consciousness is orderly so u never know perhaps consciousness was the beginning of everything (not talking god or religion) just a scientific opinion.
@deanmullen10 You are on to something here. The idea that the universe developed out of consciousness I think is very interesting. Which came first though isn't as important as the acknowledgement that the universe has a consciousness. Maybe, surely, the same consciousness that is shared by you and I, and seperated only, ironically, by the inherent individual perspectives of all living things. Is to perceive the universe, to perceive thyself?
@KastleBravo yes and another way we could have seperation is due to the illusion of space-time, matter & enegry, all the production of the true consciousness and consciousness is distributed and spread throughout space-time yet since space-time doesn't really exist and is only a mere illusion we are not truly separated.
@deanmullen10 It is. There's no such thing as a soul or spirit, we're just matter, that uses matter to create energy, (to move, to think, etc.) by eating, breathing, etc..
It is conscious. I'm sure even computers are conscious.
@Roflbrowser so consciousness can be created and destroyed your suggesting? it makes me wonder though if there could be an infinite universe out there then there would be exact atomic copies of me out there, it amazes me because there is nothing to distuingish me from the other me's I am the same person kinda creepy.
@deanmullen10 the universe isn't infinite, if you went from the border of the universe, to the other end, you would be running circles and coming back to where you came from every time.
@Roflbrowser sorry I meant the multiverse, I'm talking bout string & M-theory, the multiverse suggests an infinite number of parallel universes and in infinity everything comes true, if you haven't heard of it yet it might sound hard 2 believe bt trust me physicists r serious bout this, they wouldnt built "the large hadron collider" the biggest machines in human history if they weren't confident (thats 2 research other universes)
Ah, I hope religion disappears soon. In the future it will disappear, when science has cured death it will disappear, but I won't live that long I think. I want to see religion fade away NOW, in MY lifetime! Hehe: )
@deanmullen10 You know, I'm hoping. I saw this expert say that he believes science will be able to reverse aging in some 50 years. So if we stay healthy, maybe we'll just make it. That would be great, hehe. : )
@winterstellar What goes on in laboratories like what Craig venter and jack szostak do, Is controlled experiments in controlled conditions and would never occur on there primordial earth!!
They also dont create anything!!!!, they borrow and copy pre existing INFORMATION to get there experiments Going!!!! rearranging DNA and genomes, is not creating life!
@winterstellar I have an idea. We only reverse aging in the non-religious. Besides the religious should be thrilled anyway. They think they're going to party with their all powerful space daddy.
Now that we can and DID build a life form that lives and reproduces without any god, can we finally get rid of religion? God's job description is pretty small at this point. We should fire him since he hasn't been doing his job all these years.
@LordOfLoad Nuclease. The ending "ase" refers to an enzyme that breaks something (the root word) down. For example, lactASE is an enzyme which breaks down lactOSE (people who are lactose intolerant lack the lasctase needed to break it down). Hope this helped :)
Interesting, we have lived with the nuclear threat since its discovery & application to Weapons of Mass Destruction. Now this, most of the funding was from the military budget, the military applications are primary & well known, & in the works.
No scientist involved in this project should ever delude themselves that this will be beneficial to mankind as a whole. Selling it to the public in that format could be construed as nothing more than self delusional propaganda...But its worse than that.
I find it absolutely unbelievable that at this stage in our scientific advancement we are still plagued by religious dogma. Even if there IS a creator or designer he isn't the God these zealots speak of. Science trumps religion in EVERY respect. No exceptions.
What he did wasn't so great, Years and years of trial and error research with super computers and they created a single cell organism that can't boot it's self up but if left alone in a mud puddle.....WTF! It's still takes life to creat life even if it's identity is changed!
All I have to do is beware of a talking snake, make sure my kids don't see this video, you no because of Adam and Eve. Yes, I almost forgot, we have to sacrifice a goat and make sure I say to my son about Abraham's sacrifice of his son Isaac - what a great lesson. Don't eat pork, that's evil, kill an infidel, of course, this is given, stay away from alcohol and gold, that's evil, make sure my wife wears a hijab, and we all pray 5 times a day. Craig Venter is a liar, Allahu Akbar
I'd just like to stress that he wasn't the first guy to do this, It was a british dude, Just the american government and media made it out that he was first :L
@Sapieteuthid What goes on in laboratories like what Craig venter and jack szostak do, Is controlled experiments in controlled conditions and would never occur on there primordial earth!!
They also dont create anything!!!!, they borrow and copy pre existing INFORMATION to get there experiments Going!!!! rearranging DNA and genomes, is not creating life!
59 people believe in a 2000 year old book of laws written by ignorant, incestuous goat herders instead of the undeniable scientific proof presented by awesome people like Craig Venter when it comes to the matter of life's origins.
If there was a global poll taken on this we'd see that over 90% of people would be against this.

there is no gurante that it is possible to make a cell that can execute any dna.. for not any dna might produce something either.
so basically if htey can mass produce already they wont need to redisgn a cell synthetically.. other then dna

Yes it takes intelligence to design stuff, but when your brain fails to make a distinction between designed things and things that appear to be designed you get yourself into trouble. Before we understood chemistry and physics I am sure there were idiots like you running around talking about all kinds of mythical beings that "designed" snowflakes. Of course calling something designed and quitting is far easier than investigating it and truly understanding it, isn't it?

Of course it is "man made", what other animal do you suggest has the capabilities to make it? Of course it doesn't have anything to do with the origin of life, but it brings us one step closer to understanding the life's inner workings. One day when we discover the process and conditions that put together self replicating polymers we'll know for a fact a process and conditions that generate living things. It would also be man made, but it would demonstrate Abiogenesis empirically.

What does your former atheism have to do with anything? Miller failed which is why we're not celebrating him as the guy who proved Abiogenesis. Kindly point how the existence of a molecule that lacks an internal plane of symmetry is a disaster for Evolution, and the sources for your information. Yes, self-replicating molecules produce more, self-replicating molecules. We are looking for a natural process that produces self-replicating molecules. God did it is not an explanation.

Theists indoctrinate, atheism is not a doctrine. It is a disbelief in a proposed theistic doctrine. Learn the difference.
No one is saying natural processes did it with any kind of certainty, but we suspect they did, which is why we're looking for the mechanism. The Homochiralic property of amino acids is a field of active research in evolution and is at present poorly understood, but has nothing to do with how self replicating polymers originated.

Evolution is a FACT of Biology.

They don't cower with their tail between their legs, cry that its too complicated and say god did it, which sadly is exactly what you do.

@5tonyvvvv how about wikipedia for "self-assembly"
"Self-assembly is a term used to describe processes in which a disordered system of pre-existing components forms an organized structure or pattern as a consequence of specific, local interactions among the components themselves, without external direction. When the constitutive components are molecules, the process is termed molecular self-assembly."
HeywoodJablowem 2 weeks ago
@5tonyvvvv "Important examples of SA in materials science include the formation of molecular crystals, colloids, lipid bilayers, phase-separated polymers, and self-assembled monolayers.[1][2] The folding of polypeptide chains into proteins and the folding of nucleic acids into their functional forms are examples of self-assembled biological structures."
HeywoodJablowem 2 weeks ago
@5tonyvvvv what are u talking about? they self-assemble all the time. they may copy original designs but they still create them out of thin air, where there is no life they create life, although quite primitive at the moment still in a form that is not known to exist anywhere except on earth. one lifeform leads to more complex lifeforms, it's all just a chain reaction of developing the techniques and this much progress in such a short time is simply breathtaking. do not underestimate it

Point out exactly how Homochirality makes naturalistic origins impossible. Be very specific, cite scientific peer-reviewed literature which explains the mechanism which makes it impossible, or simply shut up. Apparently you have nothing to add to this discussion but baseless assertions.

perhaps consciousness emerged because order comes before chaos so its not impossible 2 imagine consciousness is the true entity of existence which leads to everything (I'm talking beyond the universe, beyond parallel universes, beyond higher dimensions) consciousness comes first because chaos can't come first, order leads to chaos and consciousness is orderly so u never know perhaps consciousness was the beginning of everything (not talking god or religion) just a scientific opinion.
deanmullen10 8 months ago
@deanmullen10 You are on to something here. The idea that the universe developed out of consciousness I think is very interesting. Which came first though isn't as important as the acknowledgement that the universe has a consciousness. Maybe, surely, the same consciousness that is shared by you and I, and seperated only, ironically, by the inherent individual perspectives of all living things. Is to perceive the universe, to perceive thyself?
KastleBravo 4 months ago
@KastleBravo yes and another way we could have seperation is due to the illusion of space-time, matter & enegry, all the production of the true consciousness and consciousness is distributed and spread throughout space-time yet since space-time doesn't really exist and is only a mere illusion we are not truly separated.
