We report the design, synthesis, and assembly of the 1.08-Mbp Mycoplasma mycoides JCVI-syn1.0 genome starting from digitized genome sequence information and its transplantation into a Mycoplasma capricolum recipient cell to create new Mycoplasma mycoides cells that are controlled only by the synthetic chromosome. The only DNA in the cells is the designed synthetic DNA sequence, including "watermark" sequences and other designed gene deletions and polymorphisms, and mutations acquired during the building process. The new cells have expected phenotypic properties and are capable of continuous self-replication.

There are also potentials for making specific drugs, including things like insulin, and some of the meds that are used for cancer and arthritis that cost an arm and a leg to make right now.

There are a lot of problems with your assumptins.. for example, there has been no evidence shown for any supernatural agency .. yet we ahve been able to see self replicating rna
