A team from J. Craig Venter's research institute says it has produced a living cell powered by manmade DNA. Venter, a genome mapping pioneer, describes the cell as "the first self-replicating species...on the planet whose parent is a computer." (May 20)

  • People who are religious tend to have a lower IQ then people who think logically

  • @TheJavon46 yes: that's why scientists try to understand earthly things. What they don't do is claim, in advance, that heaven exits. They can't know there is a heaven if they don't first understand earth, as you correctly said.

    The religious, however, are defined by the very attitude you describe. It is the religious, not the academics, who claim to know more than is humanly possible. No academic makes any such claim. No academic posits an answer before it is found. The religious do.

  • Awesome, perhaps we can one day correct all of humanity's degenerate breeding over time and only keep the best DNA...Thank the gods for science!!

  • @townrunners and im a super human genius that got SAT an score at the top 1% of the nation when i was 9

  • @townrunners Well, I'm going to laugh. Also, just because people say things of that nature doesn't mean it's grammatically correct. Besides, the only reason I decided to berate you was because how you tried to puff yourself up and you also tried to justify an incomplete sentence. If you knew anything about IQ, you'd realize how stupid you sound. How about you let this one go; you should know by now you were wrong. ROTFL!

  • @townrunners GET IT!

  • @Dacurath First of all, I hope you're not laughing. Second of all, you can tell that to the hundreds of modern day writers who use fragments. Plus, what I said was a common thing to say and is used as a complete sentence all the time.

  • @townrunners I like how you capitalized the first letter in an incomplete sentence. I laugh even harder at the fact that you tired to justify it. LMAO

  • @Dacurath I like how you're telling me that I shouldn't capitalize the first word of a sentence.
