Today one of the most amazing achievements in human history was introduced on the
CBS TV program "60 Minutes". A brilliant, famous scientist has synthetically created
a living bacteria, using only man-made chemical compounds. The bacterium exhibits
all of the functions of life, including growth, mitosis and replication, which are
triggered by man made compounds. The implications for the God/Religion industry are
enormous. The threat this development represents to the fundamentalist minds is so
grave they will be unable and unwilling to accept it as fact, and the scientist needs
to fear for his life. After all, in the span of human history it is not so long ago we in America burned witches. The creation of the bacterium was based on knowledge acquired during the decoding of the human genome double helix and the analyses of
the complex proteins making up the genes.
The doors opened by this breakthrough lead to miraculous possibilities in medicine,
surgery and human development; assuming the Luddites among us don't stifle them.
