"It's a chicken and egg question," said Dr Terry Kee of the University of Leeds, who led the research. "Scientists are in disagreement over what came first -- replication, or metabolism. But there is a third part to the equation -- and that is energy"
Take a two-pronged mystery and add a third mysterious prong - now we're really getting nowhere. Good job, science!
What is that supposed to mean?
"Scientists are in disagreement over what came first -- replication, or metabolism. But there is a third part to the equation -- and that is energy."
I bet he read it, he only commented on the first part though. It is a very remarkable article and the part about energy is very interesting. So maybe this is what he ment. The sarcastic part of his post though I sadly echo. I don't believe scientists can create life.
I think he's making a wry parody of the Creationists who would jump on quotes like that and say "See! Sceince dont work!"What is that supposed to mean?
I think we replicated first, then acquired metabolism."Scientists are in disagreement over what came first -- replication, or metabolism. But there is a third part to the equation -- and that is energy."
Why not?I don't believe scientists can create life.
I think we replicated first, then acquired metabolism.
Why not?
I would assume, that creating life is a god only task.
That is probably the idea. And then, when artificial life is a reality, they will say, well, making matter and physical law is a god-only task.
We can go both ways, actually, though not on any large scale. Sadly, Star Trek replicators are still a way away...I wouldn't even give em Making Matter, as I've no doubt that we'll eventually find a way to convert Energy to Matter.
We can already to it in the opposite direction, though it's not very safe.
I don't believe scientists can create life.
[wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth] THAT'S NOT CREATING LIFE THEY HAVE TO SINTHE- sintha- ... make MAKE EVERY MOLECULE BY HAND NO TECH
