If God already knew everything, then He would be unable to learn and His understanding would have a limit. For God's understanding to have no limit, He must be able to learn. It is obvious, from the Holy Bible, that there where things God did not know and had to learn just like we do.

Creating life in the lab would prove you don't need a deity to make life. That in turn would mean the possibility of life elsewhere in the solar system and the universe goes up exponentially.
We THINK life will show up anywhere there is a halfway decent environment for life to develop, like early Mars or maybe the deep oceans of Europa or Titan.
The ...[text shortened]... photosynthesis and so forth, the kind of reproductive process it uses, sexual, non-sexual, etc..

This goes way beyond the Miller-Urey experiments.
I wonder how many millions could have been fed with the money wasted on the project.

Originally posted by SuzianneThere is a difficulty with defining what we mean by life. If it is sufficient that something can take material from its environment and create copies of itself, then creating life isn't hard - a robot with manufacturing capability would count - which is not something we would normally consider as being alive. In fact the average fire would count. The standard biological definition is, as I remember a bit fuzzy, but gives a list of properties most living things have, and typically involves a cell membrane. So what is meant when we say something is alive isn't absolutely clear.
Where are the papers, then? Where are the peer-reviewed journals?
However, if they were to create a living organism. What would that mean? It would neither prove nor disprove the creationist position nor tell us anything about whether God exists or not. All it would tell us is that scientists could create simple life forms in a laboratory.

You been hiding under a rock or something?🙂
There was a particularly impressive submission by the Borgonian Academy of science and technology which started in the year 1,300,000 BCE on Sirius 4.
Don't tell me you missed that one!
