I saw children doing synthetic biology on the television...

If this has been posted before I apologize. It was part of the BBC's Horizon series, in which they explored synthetic biology. This episode I believe, first shown in 2012.

And I caught the latter portion of the program and I was amazed. People, children even, can now play god in the comfort of their own homes. I guess making glow in the dark bacteria is a great way to get children interested in science.

Peoples' favourite deity is getting ever more pathetic by the day. I often why it is that a deity cannot do anything a human can do, such as a write something on a piece of paper or turn trees into books but humans can do things a deity is claimed to be able to do, such as create life.

Where can I get one of these synthetic biology kits?

I want genetically engineered shrew sized dwarf beavers that live in a small dam in an aquarium in my living room and fell bonsai trees. Is that an adorable idea or what

I want teacup dolphins
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
