From time to time I will nevertheless check on the "renowned scientists" you'll list in order to corroborate your claims. Airmano Edited by airmano - 27 October 2014 at 3:06pm |

Finally, something I can agree with you right away. Personally, I had been thinking about this for quite a while. The only thing that kept me going was the thought if this could be of any value to the sensible readers out there. |

This is like saying that the human body is made of atoms, and clay is made of atoms, therefore the human body is made of clay. What you're missing, and what clay is missing, is carbon. As any science fiction fan will tell you, humans are "carbon-based units". A molecule is considered organic, by definition, if it contains at least one carbon atom. Clay contains essentially no carbon. It is inorganic, by definition, and no lifeform can be made from it. (At least not any lifeform we have ever seen on earth. Maybe the Quran was originally drafted for silicon-based creatures in some other galaxy, and this clay reference was overlooked in the editing process. ) |

Let us have a look at what the Quran says: Sad 38:72 And when I have fashioned him and breathed into him of My Spirit, then fall down before him prostrate It is clear that there were two separate processes here.1) Creation of human form out of clay and 2) Imparting life to the form by breathing the spirit of Allah. Now,I wonder if some of our science fiction fans were present during the second process to vouch there was no Carbon involved during this process. And I just get further curious, with these extremely talented scientific minds around, combined with such high level of knowledge on the constituents of a life form, why is it not possible to mix all these components in the right proportion to create life? Surely worth all the efforts considering the so many troubled minds wandering in if's,but's,speculations and uncertainties |

Here: Synthetic Life
Any other questions ? Glad to be of service: Airmano ---------------------------------------------------- Ps_I: For once I'm interested: What does the Quran say about synthetic life ? Ps_II: Any news on "...many experts in the field of embryology" ? Edited by airmano - 30 October 2014 at 7:49am |

1) Since virtually every molecule of the human body contains carbon, what would it mean to "fashion" a body without using carbon? 2) Oh, so Allah's "spirit" is made of carbon?
We're making progress (see airmano's response). Considering that it (allegedly) took Allah about a billion years from the time the earth was formed, I'd say we're doing pretty well. Edited by Ron Webb - 30 October 2014 at 8:51am |

A significant achievement for science indeed. But how can incorporating a synthetically generated genome to an existing bacterium (that too a single cell organism) to develop a new species be compared even remotely to the original creation of countless infinitely complex life forms by a single command of Allah? Having understood the complexity and the precision behind the creation of a life form even as micro as a bacterium, how can people still be deluded away to believe that all the complex life forms in existence just happened out of mere chance without a reason? PS I: Why do you think this has to be there in Quran? PS II: My arguments are already there and you are free to quote your sources. Don't wait for me on this. |
