The awesomeness if this is so awesome there aren't words awesome enough to describe it's awesomeness.

Shame all the news reports ended with the cliche, "...but is it a step too far".

No it fucking isn't.

[Tails Turrosaki]

It shouldn't be all that hard to create life now, considering our technology...

[RuleBritannia]

Yes, soon we will amass the power to destroy god himself.

[Tails Turrosaki]

Oh, please, we can do more than that. We're already so fucking close to having holographic television that appears in front of you, like on those old sci-fi shows.

I wonder what the funky new shit will evolve in to.

Meh. If these fuckers were around in hunter-gatherer times, they'd label ploughing fields as "playing god".

[Gawdzilla Sama]

"Blade Runner" rocks!

This is much ado about nothing ... very little need for a totally man made genome when we already have plenty of species to add genes to.


They didn't write it out long hand themselves anyway just copy/pasted it.

The Daily Mail is shitting itself with fear.

It even mention Will Smith's "I am Legend" on its front page, described the bloke who has bankrolled it as a "maverick" and suggested that all life on Earth may be wiped out.

On the BBC's interactive pages it was on page 2 last night, below a story about Naomi Campbell.

We are a cunt of a species.

I'm off to rapture ready to tease them about it. I wonder how many posts it will take before the banhammer comes out

Make sure to ask them about vitalism and the magical "breath" of life - looks like it just starts without any of that woo.

This from http://www.raptureready.com/lbl/leftb70.html

"You are probably searching for an explanation for the disappearance of millions of people all over the world. Do not believe the lie that aliens from another planet abducted them or other outrageous explanations. God’s Word has the only explanation for the “vanishings” and that is the Rapture of the Church of Jesus Christ. You may be thinking, “not that Jesus guy again!” I challenge you to do your own research on those who have vanished. You will find the common denominator of those taken will be born again believers2 in Jesus Christ, and children not mature enough to believe in Jesus as their Lord, Savior and God. Parents and grandparents I know you are suffering with the vanishing of your children, but have faith that they are with the Lord in heaven".
