Will they? What other perspective are we considering, evolution, by ns or as, is a scientific perspective. Not only is AS different than NS, it is often a process which we don't have any evidence that NS could perform. Mull that round a little bit. Not only have we created things that do not exist by natural means (and again, I'm using this language very specifically), in some cases, we have every reason to determine that NS would be incapable of such a thing. It really is a profound difference, is it not? Combine the mechanical process of nature with one of it's more notable products, and an entirely new type of creature can be created. What can be said then about the limitations of this sort of creature, what assumptions can we make about those limitations by reference to our own? Engineered life has been, and may continue to be a complete game changer. On the other hand, we may just off ourselves, engineered life, and everything else in the process. Total pandaras box situation, and thus extremely fascinating, to me.
