So, no we can make a living organism.
'Artificial life' breakthrough announced by scientists - BBC News
Does this mean there is no 'spark' of life that is somehow divine?

Happening elsewhere
You don't have much there beyond a link, which I didn't pursue. This isn't really an adequate beginnings of a topic.
Anyway, the theme seems to be running at the new Artifical(sic) life topic.ed
Closing this one down unpromoted.

It really helps moderators figure out if a topic is disintegrating because of general misbehavior versus someone in particular if the originally non-misbehaving members kept it that way. When everyone is prickly and argumentative and off-topic and personal then it's just too difficult to tell. We have neither infinite time to untie the Gordian knot, nor the wisdom of Solomon.
There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot.
Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots. Message 150
