When man eventually creates life, will this prove or disprove a supernatural creator?
Making something already living produce diesel from sugar is totally different from creating life out of inanimate molecules. In fact it is a huge leap. I don’t see how this would prove a supernatural creator. I can see how atheists might try to use this as proof of “no-god,” but in actuality, it would prove nothing. However, many mainstream religions may be threatened. There is a difference between believing a religion, and believing that there is some sort of superior being that started it all. Whether all things were created in seven days, or whether he made the spark of the Big Bang.
If the man-made cell achieves sentience, it MIGHT assume that its creator were “supernatural” in nature. This doesn’t make it fact, though. Ironically, the ability to create living cells says nothing in regards to proving or disproving a supernatural creator…until we can accurately mimic the conditions of our planet, at the time that life sprang forward. Once abiogenesis is proved to be true, beyond the shadow of a doubt, then we’ll have that answer.
it will proof of our insane desire to want to be like god and will of course not bring god to the same level as man., its pretty creepy stuff scientists are doing to the world., only god was mean to create all living creatures, our (human) imitations are not of gods creation, but man’s and who knows who else helped him.
