First total gene transplant..Wow…Playing god!!!Nice :-)

Posted by Dilip on June 29, 2007

What a wonderful news, I hate to not blog about this and love it when there are such breakthroughs in science.
All credit goes to Carole Lartigue and a group of colleagues/Scientists at the J.Craig Venter Institute who have successfully completed the first bacterial genome transplantation, literally changing one species to another….Wowww!!..Changing the species…wonderful…thats like reverse engineering and hacking Brahma’s, god of Genesis’/Allah’s….well….in general god’s brain…Cool.
Such news sends a small chill or maybe a sigh of distress/disgust, down the spine of all those religious fundamentalists/creationsists, especially when there are significant developments in the fields of Biological sciences. They know far in the corners of their mind that these scientists have once again played with their god’s creation and are pondering why god is not retaliating?!!.
Well..anyway its a fantastic news for me, though I think there would definitely be some ethical debates on this topic.

Please do check these links for more information.

Misunderstandings

Posted by Dilip on June 8, 2007

Just found this quote in a website, just check out the arrogance and ignorance of this so called Chaz Bufe. We should all pity him rather because of his ignorance.

Atheist n:  A person to be pitied in that he is unable to believe things for which there is no evidence, and who has thus deprived himself of a convenient means of feeling superior to others. —Chaz Bufe, The American Heretic’s Dictionary

Thought I would share this site, which clearly explains some misunderstandings people have on Atheists/ism. Enjoy
