Craig Venter: On the verge of creating synthetic life



Poslao: TEDtalksDirector
Opis:
http://www.ted.com "Can we create new life out of our digital universe?" asks Craig Venter. And his answer is, yes, and pretty soon. He walks the TED2008 audience through his latest research into "fourth-generation fuels" -- biologically created fuels with CO2 as their feedstock. His talk covers the details of creating brand-new chromosomes using digital technology, the reasons why we would want to do this, and the bioethics of synthetic life. A fascinating Q &A with TED's Chris Anderson follows (two words: suicide genes).

Die off, fuckin cro-magnon Nazi!!!

Every new technolgy has been abused by the elite (and their crazy chanting brainless cheerleaders like levi...)

Es gibt nichts falsch mit dieser Lösung.
Natur kümmert sich um uns, wenn wir nicht.
Und Sie sind die ein aus Deutschland.
Ei natseissa mitän vikaa ollut.
Duche.
"Fascinating and ... ( 2 months ago by 0lord0kinbote0)
"Fascinating and scary. Ever see the movie Jurassic Park? Evolution is awesome however, it has always been in a slow constant balance with itself."
Evolution has never been in balance, as it is unbalanced by nature.
i know this work ... ( 2 months ago by keithellington)
i know this work seems scary, but really this is quite safe compared to naturally occurring genetic phenomena like retroviruses.
if any of you saw I Am Legend, be assured that this kind of genetic engineering is nothing like the virus they created in that movie.
even the most harmless natural pathogens have evolved into much nastier form than the Venter group or any other human lab could create.
Actually this ... ( 2 months ago by s1d3fx)
Actually this wouldn't work seeing as all humans have the same genes. I think what you meant to say is that they should create a virus that would only target specific alleles. Perhaps they could engineer one that causes only racist morons like yourself to asphyxiate. This not only rids us of your idiocy, but simultaneously prevents your from wasting oxygen while you die.
Quite anry are you. ... ( 2 months ago by leevi1234)
Quite anry are you. What is wrong with racism? Everyone is not equal. Look to the facts.
Not angry, just ... ( 1 month ago by s1d3fx)
Not angry, just can't quite fathom how idiotic your comments are. What do you mean "everyone is not equal"? There is no race that is better than another race. There are intelligent people and morons (like you) in every race. You sound nauseatingly akin to a certain 1930s-1940s dictator.
Do you think Hitler ... ( 1 month ago by leevi1234)
Do you think Hitler was the first to think that the white race is supreme. But i'm not defending anyones choises.
But look how different races act. Inside their own societies and inside of others.
There is only one truth and being PC is the worst thing you can be. Be truthful.
But it wont take long now. Lot's of humans are going to die in a short time period.
And what is your argument for your idea that everyone is equal. In who's eyes. Maybe in your eyes.

Yeah, exactly. You're a dick and s1d3fx is a clear thinker.

The white race has ... ( 1 month ago by tommyk77)
The white race has caused the most damage of all. We invaded two entire continents and killed the natives, calling the land our own. We then took races from Africa and enslaved them.
It's highly idiotic to attribute these actions to a race though. People do bad things, not races
oi, just a ... ( 1 month ago by gabbagabbayousuck)
oi, just a correction, don't forget Australia, when Cook discovered it he proclamed it "Terra Nullius"
land belonging to no one, yet it had been populated with humans for as much as 60 000 years. Then they proceeded to wipe out the inhabitants in much the same way as in the Americas
Galatians chapter 3 ... ( 3 weeks ago by at987ta)
Galatians chapter 3 25Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law.
26You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, 27for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
This looks like ... ( 3 weeks ago by at987ta)
This looks like semi-synthetic. To be synthetic it would require vacuoles an cell wall, ribosomes and the rest of the cellular machinery to also be manufactured by homo sapiens. If they did manage to create synthetic life it would show that intelligence was required.
The more interesting question is what is the "First Cause", quite frankly the "first Causation" of our universe CANNOT be refuted, even Bertrand Russel knew this, the only real question is what exactly is this "First Cause"?
Why believe a ... ( 3 weeks ago by damianpoirier)
Why believe a sentient power is necessary for the creation of our universe? Would not a self created mindless process(as brainless as gravity) be as capable of making billions of universes as some supposed mindful self created intelligent god? Where is any evidence to distinguish the two? And given billions of universes wouldn't at least one of them give rise to intelligent life?
"If they did manage ... ( 3 weeks ago by damianpoirier)
"If they did manage to create synthetic life it would show that intelligence was required."
Your logic is faulty.
dismissal is not ... ( 3 weeks ago by at987ta)
dismissal is not refutation.
No. This is empirical. Try to make something without using intelligence or something make without intelligence. This cannot be done by man.
The simple fact you can't create life or planets from nothing should tell you there is a God.
The simple fact that you can't go to a lab and create life of plants using 'natural' means indicates there is a God.
The simple fact is creation of life requires a creator.
Because intel is ... ( 3 weeks ago by at987ta)
Because intel is required. In IT it takes intel to make applications and databases try making one without analysts and programmers. Gravity does not have intel. Bible tells history and why things happened and are the way they are. Bible prophecy also validates God as he knows the end from the beginning- he tells us what is to happen before it happens. No you can't even make a bacteria in the lab. If you ground up an elephant and let it fall into a black hole life will not arise.
"The simple fact ... ( 3 weeks ago by damianpoirier)
"The simple fact that you can't go to a lab and create life of plants using 'natural' means indicates there is a God"
You insult god. You equate a couple of years and a beaker of sludge with a several billion years and a couple billion billion billion planets. If I were god I'd smack you dead for making such a comparison.
"Bible prophecy ... ( 3 weeks ago by damianpoirier)
"Bible prophecy also validates God as he knows the end from the beginning- he tells us what is to happen before it happens."
The bible validates the bible. Period. Just as Harry faced Lord Valdemort (as predicted in Harry Potter). I can see you don't have any problem with this. That's OK. You bible idiots even site the recreation of Isreal as god's prognostication, even though it was done on purpose to full fill the biblical prophecies. Lying for god is par for the course.
no creator is ... ( 3 weeks ago by abyssquick)
no creator is implied. the notion of a creator is something unique to humans. animals cannot be trained to understand it.
it is equally as incomprehensible to many many humans as well. i include myself in the latter. i have no 'god' detection device' and never have. i understand 'god' as only a culturally inherited concept.
which is why we people such as us observe the natural world to determine how things work, and come to be.
No, it does not ... ( 5 days ago by gorgon73)
No, it does not mean that intelligence was required. You need to remember that this only needed to happened once, in billions of years. So its not a thing that needs to be easy, in fact it can be extreamly rare. Just not immpossible... See ?
Iformation do ... ( 2 days ago by gorgon73)
Iformation do develop, in the long run by mutations and geneduplications gone wrong. Witch in the long run (We are talking long run here) will cover for all the different gene pools we can find in nature today. Even if you were on to something, that would not at ALL be any evidence of the existance of an omniscent creator. (Just a weak spot in the evo theory, witch it aint)
