Craig Venter unveils "synthetic life"


Craig Venter and team make a historic announcement: they've created the first fully functioning, reproducing cell controlled by synthetic DNA. He explains how they did it and why the achievement marks the beginning of a new era for science.

It is misleading to reference God in this, as some have. The scientific process that allows the creation of a cell is not the same as God's creation. However, the cell exists as a cell, and that is life. Great achievement.
