"There are several possible future experiments"
​
i think you've jumped the gun LOL But you get 10 points for enthusiasm

being completely honest here cavediver, im not sure exactly what i'd think about it
​
I believe anything could be possible with enough intervention and manipulation, but it doesnt necessarily mean that it would also happen naturally without the same intervention
​
so lets just say they manage to do it in a lab, I would still have a firm belief in God. Im 100% convinced of that. But what i might reconsider is the interpretation put on genesis...we've got things wrong in the past (7 literal days for example)
​
but i'd still rather cross that bridge when it comes rather then put my faith through the wringer on a speculation.

Or are you willing to stick your neck out and declare that it cannot possibly happen because chimps and humans are 'obviously' of different kinds?
​
what if they use genetic engineering to accomplish it?
​
will it prove anything, disprove anything>???

Sexual reproduction is in fact natural genetic engineering i.e. recombining DNA from two genetically different hosts to make one new genetically different organism. The only difference between natural and artificial genetic engineering is skipping the nasty, sex part
​
yes that might be true within the same species,
​
what is the evolutionary explanation of why there is a barrier preventing this happening between different species?
