[FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]A report emphasized in Darwinist publications of late has entered the mainstream agenda. One part of an artificially manufactured DNA molecule was transferred to the nucleus of another cell and this DNA was observed to function within the cell. This subject, carried under misleading captions such as “synthetic genome brings new life to bacterium” and “creation of a bacterial cell” (surely Allah is beyond that) in various Darwinist publications has been made the tool of Darwinist speculation. Certain publications such as the Financial Times have even claimed that evolutionists have realized their endless dreams regarding creating life out of nothing. The fact is that the research in question represents no reply to the question of how life began, which Darwinists can never answer. On the contrary, this study is significant proof of the complexity of the DNA in the cell.[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif][/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif][FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]Clarifications on the subject are as follows:[/FONT]
  • [FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]After artificially synthesizing one Mycoplasma genitalium (Mycoplasma mycoides) in the laboratory, the American scientist J. Craig Venter then installed it in the cell nucleus of another mycoplasma, and the cell continued functioning with this DNA.[/FONT]
  • [FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]The procedures carried out are no different to the techniques known as cloning.[/FONT]
  • [FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]A copy taken from the DNA of Mycoplasma mycoides, consisting of 1.08 million base sequences, was arranged under laboratory conditions and transferred into the cell of another living thing.[/FONT]
  • [FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]No new DNA was manufactured, no information that did not exist before was produced, and no artificial DNA sequence was manufactured from nothing in the laboratory. DNA already exists in the cell. The procedure carried out is nothing more than existing DNA with its extraordinary information being taken and re-arranged and transplanted into another cell.[/FONT]
  • [FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]The re-engineering in question was carried out under the control of conscious scientists aware of the extraordinary complexity of the information in DNA, in the most advanced laboratories and under controlled conditions, using an existing specimen that Allah had created from nothing, and experimenting for many years.[/FONT]
  • [FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]This cloning procedure performed on a single bacterium could only be performed as the result of longer than 10-year research costing $40 million, by a core team of 20 scientists, with thousands of others in the background.[/FONT]
  • [FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]This effort made by scientists in order for a single pre-existing specimen to be transferred by conscious individuals in a conscious environment revealed that not even one copy of the complex structure in question could be manufactured without an existing specimen, without conscious intervention and without technical equipment.[/FONT]
  • [FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]The development in question is an excellent one in the name of science. As genome research progresses, it will be possible to copy DNA from living cells and transplant these into other cells. By Allah’s leave, this research will be used in many beneficial ways, such as curing various diseases. But all these things are conscious intervention in existing structures. To portray these conscious and controlled experiments performed on already existing structures as evidence for evolution is not only deceptive, but also an indication of Darwinists’ despair. It is feeble speculation used by Darwinists unable to explain the beginning and complexity of life.[/FONT]
  • [FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]If Darwinists wish to prove their claims, then they must BE ABLE TO PRODUCE the components of life FROM NOTHING. After that, they have to explain how this might have come about as the result of blind chance, in an uncontrolled environment exceedingly dangerous to life, in the absence of any conscious intervention. The fact is that Darwinists are unable to produce EVEN A SINGLE PROTEIN under controlled conditions and as a result of conscious intervention. And it is impossible for them ever to do so.[/FONT]
  • [FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]By this research, Darwinist scientists have once again proved, by their own hand, the complexity of life and that not even the smallest component of life can come into being by chance.[/FONT]
  • [FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]It needs to be made clear that this result DOES NOT EQUATE TO LIFE. The living cell is a whole consisting of countless complex components, and only forms when all of these are present at the same time and place and combine to produce a complex organization. The transplanting of a single extraordinarily complex DNA is nothing more than replicating a very small part of an already existing system. Darwinists rejoicing at the existence of DNA obtained by copying are a far cry from accounting for the first living thing, in other words living cell, they imagine, and there are insuperable obstacles to their doing so.[/FONT]
  • [FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]Moreover, and most important of all, the research in question HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW LIFE BEGAN. The study does not eliminate the dead-end that Darwinists are in regarding the origin of life. This profound dead-end, that effectively demolishes Darwinism, is growing still worse and leading Darwinism to a state of total collapse.[/FONT]
  • [FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]Jim Collins, professor of biomedical engineering from the University of Boston, opposed the speculation about the cloning research in question in Nature magazine, saying:[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]“The work reported by Venter and his colleagues is an important advance in our ability to re-engineer organisms; it does not represent the making of new life from scratch.” [1][/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif][/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]Conclusion: [/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]One feature of Darwinists is that they include their efforts to reproduce structures exhibiting the glory of Creation in the whole Darwinist furore, using all the Darwinist publications at their disposal and very large capital letters. Darwinist furore has recently begun being extensively used in this time when science has been shown to refute the theory of evolution. This means that Darwinists are in a terrible bottleneck.[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]For the theory of evolution, which tries to explain life in very simple terms, the building blocks of life must also be equally simple. So much so that everything about life must agree with these false and facile claims made by Darwinists who account for everything in terms of chance. Therefore, if the Darwinist claim were true, the imaginary first cell they maintain formed in muddy water should be nothing else than the water-filled balloon postulated by Darwin. But the truth is very different. Even just one of the proteins that make up life has an exceedingly complex structure. Darwinist scientists across the world have been striving for the same thing for 150 years, and have failed utterly: TO BE ABLE TO MANUFACTURE A SINGLE PROTEIN.[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]For that reason, depicting the cloning of DNA as evidence for evolution and the helpless writhing of Darwinists wishing to continue with their furore do not alter an important truth, and they deceive nobody. That important truth is the extraordinary complexity of life. The scale of the effort needed to understand one single part of that complex life or to obtain a copy of it makes that clear. The fact is that as these people try to understand a single DNA over tens of years in the laboratory, the glorious DNA molecules in each of the 100 trillion cells in their bodies keep on performing the tasks inspired in them in an extraordinary system and regularity. Because their Creator is Allah. Allah created them from nothing. Almighty Allah is the Lord of all things, the Creator of the earth and sky. Every single day, science will continue to provide new evidence that praises the glory of our Lord. Every new scientific discovery will continue to provide evidence of this majestic Creation. Almighty Allah says in one verse:[/FONT]

The thing is... there was life in the lab before this life created life.

Reminds me of doctors taking the honor of the hospital church praise and worship songs. ie the doctors believe it is about them they sing ;)

Right, because people interceding for miraculous healing have a much better success rate :doh:

[FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]The fact is that the research in question represents no reply to the question of how life began, which Darwinists can never answer.

[FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]Ah, another person using abiobenesis to fight the atheism vs theism fight. [/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif][/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]And one more person equating Darwinism with atheism. [/FONT]

Listen carefully:
EVOLUTION IS NOT ATHEISM. NEVER WAS. IS NOT NOW. DARWINISM IS NOT ATHEISM.
[FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif][/FONT]
I agree that the research discussed is not abiogenesis. It wasn't meant to be. And yes, the news reports do misstate that.

However, abiogenesis has already been observed. I have at least 3 threads on that around here. Do a search on abiogenesis. But we can do it all again here.

[FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif][FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]
If Darwinists wish to prove their claims, then they must BE ABLE TO PRODUCE the components of life FROM NOTHING. After that, they have to explain how this might have come about as the result of blind chance, in an uncontrolled environment exceedingly dangerous to life, in the absence of any conscious intervention. The fact is that Darwinists are unable to produce EVEN A SINGLE PROTEIN under controlled conditions and as a result of conscious intervention. And it is impossible for them ever to do so.
[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif][/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]First, get rid of the idea "chance". Abiogenesis is chemistry. And chemistry is not chance! Life arises by chemistry and life is chemistry. [/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif][/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]Second, we do not have to produce the components of life "from nothing". That's a strawman. What we do need to do is produce the components of life, and have them organize into living cells, from non living chemicals. Studies have shown that elements form within stars and the precursor chemicals for life form by several different chemical pathways. For instance, amino acids are synthesized in many types of atmospheres (including oxidizing ones) by chemical reactions powered by lightning, at hydrothermal vents, and on comets and rocks in space. [/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif][/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]Third, here is how abiogenesis can happen:[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]http://www.theharbinger.org/articles/rel_sci/fox.html
http://www.siu.edu/~protocell/[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif][/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]Read those and we can go into it in more detail. Basically, amino acids when heated form proteins. Not just one protein, but millions of proteins. They are not "random" because the chemistry doesn't allow completely random amino acid sequences. Each of those proteins has a biological activity. When the proteins are cooled or exposed to water, the proteins spontaneously form cells. These cells are alive. They metabolize, grow, respond to stimuli, and reproduce. IOW, abiogenesis. [/FONT]

[FONT=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]Actually, no. Evolution does not deal with the origin of the first life. Evolution happens after life exists. Darwin made that very clear. Perhaps you should read Darwin before you make statements about evolution or "Darwinism"[/FONT]

The thing is... there was life in the lab before this life created life.

In this instance, yes. But read the web pages I posted. In that case, no.

Reminds me of doctors taking the honor of the hospital church praise and worship songs. ie the doctors believe it is about them they sing

:confused: I have been associated with clinical departments for 40 years, and no doctor in my experience has ever thought worship songs were about them.

OTOH, there is also no doubt that material medicine is effective. The next time you get a broken bone, don't do anything but pray over it and see if it heals correctly. Or the next time your infant child gets an ear infection, be sure to avoid those antiobiotics and just sing praises to God. I'm sure your child will be cured that way [sarcasm].
