This has nothing to do with weird Christian delusions about blood. The Bible says that blood is life. In actual reality, there are countless living organisms that don't have blood, so the Bible is clearly wrong.
I'm too lazy to go look the verse up right now or to see what context it was used, but I otherwise agree with you on this point. I think there is life everywhere around us, not just in blood. I believe an insect is life and I believe whatever was created in this scenario is life or a building block of life.
I think that this is a good model for how fundamentalists worldwide are going to react to advances in artificial life. For as long as we are unable to create wholly synthetic life, they will claim that only God can create life.
Yes, you are right again....we will always claim that God is the only one who can create life, but there's a stipulation to that. We don't believe that he's the only one that can create life, we believe that he's the only one that can create life
out of nothing.
As soon as any advance is made, they will do a heel-turn and claim that the new discovery proves the need for a designer. All pretty hypocritical really.
I guess I don't see the heel turn in this. Are you denying in your post that thus far, in science, everything that has been created has had a designer (a scientist)??? I mean, this is certainly a scientific feat we are talking about here and it should astound us all, but it did require a PhD scientist, who's name will be forever linked to the discovery, to come up with this. It also took known matter from our universe.
As far as the rock scenario goes that Rhavin spoke of, my answer to that is yes, I would conclude a designer,
if the rock pile showed design. I personally feel that even the smallest know particle shows design. A random rock pile at the bottom of the ocean doesn't show design...a rock pile made by Rhavin to look like a pyramid shows design. The problem with this scenario is that one could design a rock pile, to look like it wasn't designed in the first place, yet it was still designed.
My only point was, that Rhavin thought was absurd, and maybe I wasn't clear, is that so far, in anything that science has ever discovered, or I should say created, it had a creator. We have yet to enter into a vacuum of a room and watch life spontaneously start to create itself. This new discovery doesn't prove God created all life, it does continue to prove that everything we know is designed.
