My Nobel Prize Challenge

[miknik5]

So my submission wins by default?

Unless AV can disprove it.

LOL. I'm not the competition
And AV will tell you Himself that he's not the competition either

 

[Biologist]

LOL. I'm not the competition
And AV will tell you Himself that he's not the competition either

So I win.

 

[miknik5]

So I win.

Temporarily
It's not a permanent win

I said NO because she didn't use the word "abiogenesis" in the meaning.

I used the phrase "non-living things become living things." What is that if not abiogenesis?

 

[AV1611VET]

Playing Arab phone.

 

[Kylie]

Playing Arab phone.

We'll add synonyms to the list of things you don't understand, shall we?

 

[[serious]]

Playing Arab phone.

What do you mean by abiogenesis if not non living things becoming living things?

 

[AV1611VET]

What do you mean by abiogenesis if not non living things becoming living things?

A non-living thing being made a living thing.

"Becoming" is too impersonal.

 

[[serious]]

A non-living thing being made a living thing.

"Becoming" is too impersonal.

Ok, so you are rejecting the primary meaning of abiogenesis and are instead exclusively talking about synthetic biology?

If you are asking if advances in synthetic biology would warrant a prize, you should ask more directly.

He's talking about creating a living thing out of nothing.

Out of what would seem to be thin air

 

[GrowingSmaller]

If someone performed an act of abiogenesis in a scientific setting, should he get a Nobel prize?

Erm,erm, erm... nevermind.

 

[AV1611VET]

Erm,erm, erm... nevermind.

Okie doke!

I asked him if he meant that and he said it wasn't.

 

[miknik5]

I asked him if he meant that and he said it wasn't.

Yes. I saw his post. HE knows best.

Synthetic biology is no different than what was being discussed regarding these mutations and modifications to bring about artificially a "super human"
I hold to my first response to this thread

 

[Kylie]

A non-living thing being made a living thing.

"Becoming" is too impersonal.

Ah, so you want to sneak in the idea of a creator so you can pull it out of a hat later and pretend you made some kind of point?

No cheating, AV. That's really dishonest.

 

[quatona]

If someone performed an act of abiogenesis in a scientific setting, should he get a Nobel prize?

I´m not an expert, but as far as I know abiogenesis isn´t an "act to perform".
But maybe you had the Literature Nobel Prize in mind...

 

[AV1611VET]

I´m not an expert, but as far as I know abiogenesis isn´t an "act to perform".

Don't worry, it will be.

 

[quatona]

Don't worry, it will be.

Whatever.

 

[Kylie]

So, now that we've got AV's objection to my terminology out of the way, we can go back to this:

If a scientist conducts an experiment in which non-living things become living things, should that scientist get a Nobel Prize?

I would ask you to define life first...
