Humans Will Create Artificial Life In 10 Years, Says Scientist

we are about to accelerate into infinity. i had a dream last night about the rapture. 30 days ago i would have laughed at someone describing the rapture in the face and gave them a kick in the pants.
in the dream, i was sitting in synagogue, and some of the people i knew suddenly took on biblical attire, and dematerialized. i looked up and they were overhead looking down upon us. in between them were the angels of the execution of gods judgement. a spear was pointed down from above at my genitals, but i was spared at the last moment. I was saved because i had become a christian, but my sins were revealed to me. not only my sins, but my hipocracy. in the places that i thought i was most righteous, God pointed out the hypocrisy. I became naked and ashamed. I wondered if i was going to be thrown into the pit. I was awaiting the full judgement.
i am now a believer in the rapture. i saw it. and it is comming soon. not soon like everyone over the last 100 years has predicted it, but soon. maybe i am seeing my own death. maybe its the rapture, but either way the news isnt good for those who are ignorant of how living a life outlined in the bible can immunize you from spiritual death, and maybe even physical death. In my opinion, spiritual death in this life is worse than anything. seperation from god is hell. and hell, if it is real, is the furthest seperation from god that you can get to.

if god moves at instantaneous infinite acceleration, than this means that he uses up every molecule, every atom, every quark, even every space between the smallest thing, and those that travel with him, are His. they are safe. they are whole. they are saved. and god will take them on a journey of delight that has never been known. one second of communion with god will be more joyful than all the years of happiness that all beings everywhere have ever experienced.
the rest of us will be extinguished. in a black hole of death and destruction, our debris will be torn to shreds infinitely small, and compressed out of existence. we will be as the compost of autumns leaves. we will be good only for something else, and not a dot of our existence will remain. we will be crushed and torn apart into nothingness so horrible that even our atoms will cry out for god. but he will be long gone, and we will be utterly forgotten, for god will be rejoicing with the chosen, in the way that a man who breathes the air, doesnt notice the breath going in and out of his lungs. we will be happily forgotten by god, who will be certain that he left no one behind who was worthy of being created in his image. and if it is me that is left behind, i will cry out, god, god, let me suffer for you even in death, but he will have already said, and the words shall play in my mind, that there was a time to listen,and there is a time to repent, and there is a time in which redemption is past and justice will be exacted.
the bombing victims of hiroshima, had they known what was to happen to them would have cried out, wait wait, let me have a chance, but there was not a one who was given a chance. a flash and instant incineration. even their ash was consumed. for some only the shadow of their existence was left, as a reminder of the wrath and the power and the glory of god. He doesnt play around. Vengence is mine sayeth the lord, and he means it more than every killer that ever lived. for when god kills, he kills with the hatred of all that have ever hated, and without any remorse. His conscience is completely clear. He has no shame. He has no guilt. He is the creator. that means he makes every rule, and breaks every rule, for the rules are his alone, and he alone knows how every rule shall be created and destroyed. Time and space are Gods toy. what we see through the most powerful telescope, is infinitessimally small. for if we could see, we would be god. and since we are not god, we cannot see. we are only made in the image of god. each human being is stamped out in a production line of little images of god, whose purpose is to live up to the potential that he gave us. May god bless you all and protect you that you find your way to him, through Jesus, and live.

Actually, the "Bible says" that "we" on Earth, will create an "image" that will "have life and the power to speak and cause all to receive a mark in their right hand or forehead or they cannot buy or sell anything". I guess the Bible hit another lucky prophecy!

When you take flour, salt, water, shortening and baking powder and a little milk and make biscuits, did you 'create' biscuits? Now maybe you tweak the recipe a little bit, add some buttermilk, or some other spices, you have altered the recipe, but your still just baking up something from ingredients and recipes in existence. Now imagine a vaccuum, devoid of ingredients. Now whip up some life from that! Then call me about the news.

Cool, that means we'll be creating Cylons. ;)

I don't think we as humans have yet the right to create a new form of life on this planet, because we have yet to fully develop the wisdom, for such an undertaking. Yes, we have the knowledge, but the wisdom is still lacking. Until we can learn to be less destructive to ourselves and this planet, we should not attempt such a responibility.

Why do they always show a picture of Data when talking about artifical life? He is not an Android, he is a Humanoid Robot. An Android is synthetic Life, like the Replecants in Blade Runner. They needed special psychological tests to tell them appart from humans. They Logan of the Tyrell Corporation was More Human Than Human.

Why don't you Bible Thumpers go out and learn real history. Like the Gospels that were eliminated in about 300 A. D. Because that is when the Church went from Teaching to Controlling.
Learn about the Pope who got Preagnent.
There was a Pope who had Orgies and had slaves keep track of how many times his guests got off. And gave out prizes.
Or how about why you eat Fish on Fridays? That is because the Church needed a market for the fish caught.

So Sorry. But this should be a science chat. I don't care what you dreamed about. Lets talk FACTS..........

WOW. im not even going to say anything about how "it isnt what god wants us to do" or "our planet is the only on in the universe with actual intelligent life on it!!!" the world is already over populated!! there more people there are on earth, the more we KILL the planet because we have a dumbass as our president who doesnt care about global warming, pollution, or stem cell research. i cant believe there are scientists who think that this would benefit all human existance. the more people there are on earth, the more we pollute and kill the planet.

I dont see the point of argueing whether or not these 'organisms' should be created without having an idea of what their useful purposes can be. So far the article only states that these organisms will consume matter and create energy.ok, not a very good point yet, but what if they were designed for useful purposes which will most likely be the case once the technology becomes available. They could be used to replace harmful chemicals used in industry for breaking certain substances down. Or perhaps for creation of an energy source, a 'green' energy source like the bacteria powered battery MIT recently created. They could even be used to convert the excess C02 in the atmosphere or other gases. My point is that this technology and other cutting edge techs should not be shunted before their full potential is discovered (stem cells)

Conspiriology - what a moron! You can't write, you probably can't read, your grammar sucks, and I'll bet you were born in the south! You said nothing intelligable in that ranting of yours - get a life.

And so in Gods infinite wisdom gave us intelligence and a desire to explore, investigate and yes create. If we are the only intelligence in the universe maybe God wanted us to populate the universe for him. Why would he/she give us this wonderful gift of intelligence just to hold it back? I say to all those brains out there if you can create it do it, spread the wealth. With each advancement, we make in any area opens the door in another that eventually cures an illness, advances a technology, save a life or helps in creating a new one. Man created the Wheel, split an atom, sent a vehicle to Mars, and one day will create an artificial life with intelligence that in one way or another will change life as we know it just as all things has before it. Fear is a great motivator to do nothing.
