Scientists create DNA !
Edited on Thu Jan-24-08 05:51 PM by Smith_3
Taking a significant step toward the creation of man-made forms of life, researchers reported Thursday that they had manufactured the entire genome of a bacterium by painstakingly stitching together its chemical components. ...

1. "Culture of bacteria" gains yet another new meaning...
Gee, can't we breed to make DNA? Wait, eugenics is a no-no so have some bloke in a white smock (go figure) do it anyway.

What next, DNA-o-tube replacing porno-tube? "Oooooh, stop rubbing against me Michael Molecule, it turns me on!!"

11. This will start bearing light on what I've been saying all along
on the "creation" and population of this planet in the beginning. It's a combination of intelligent design AND evolution that was started by beings from another planet who were looking for somewhere else suitable to sustain life, much like our very own space exploration program today.

This other planet was possibly becoming overcrowded and was running out of natural resources, or it was quite possibly facing devastation from nuclear holocaust or world war. The government there was seeking somewhere else to start life, and found this planet (earth) in their explorations. They visited here and found the atmosphere suitable, plus we had air, water, light, etc. to sustain life.

They came back and brought plants, which they set out on different areas of the planet to see how they would grow, change and adapt to their surroundings. They saw how well the plants survived, grew, reproduced and thrived. It was good!

Next they brought insects and did the same thing, with the same results, and it was good... so they moved on to larger mammals... which also survived, grew, reproduced and thrived. It was all good!

Cavemen were an experiment of crossbreeding with primates, but they never developed intellectually the way they wanted them to, so they "made" man either by creating the dna, or by test tube babies and/or cloning. That's the reason scientists can't find the missing link between cavemen and modern man. There is no link in that chain. The experiment with the crossbreeding ended, and the cavemen eventually died off, and were quite possibly killed off to exterminate them from the face of the planet as an experiment gone awry.

"God" was the leader/top scientist of one part of the other planet and "Lucifer" was from a different part of that planet. God was a facsist and totalitarian who wished to use this new species (us) as slaves and he wanted us to bow before him. Lucifer was a liberal, and wanted us to be free. You can pick that out of the bible where it talks about adam & eve hiding from God because of their nakedness. God asked them "who TOLD you that you were naked"? .... what Lucifer did that was so wrong in the eyes of god was that he taught adam & eve to read and write. It pissed God off and he said "now they are like us, they have become gods". They learned to read, write and think for themselves.

This is all clearly defined and spelled out in the bible... if you just look for it and know how to read it.... I've been telling people this for 18 years, since it was revealed to me...

You have just been enlightened by the Space Age Messiah.... now go live in peace!
