@Hayter, I haven't said anything 'scientifically wrong' either. i haven't accused you of saying anything scientifically wrong. I only disagree with you on saying they created 'life' but I agree that they created a new species. I've made this distinction on an earlier post. I really thought you might be drunk when you suggested that 'synthetic life' was an accurate, unambiguous description of what has been created. They swapped the genome of one organism with their genome they made from scratch (i'll take your word for it unless you can tell me where Venture said this and made the distinction from what was mentioned in the video i quoted for you or i'll just go do the research my self if you prefer, whatever), they did not create the whole organism. Would you say that Frankenstein was created molecule by molecule?
"Abiogenesis is a process of creating life (from non-living matter)"
your definition of abiogenesis and your description of what Venture did are indistinguishable. are you saying that the molecules he used to make the new genome were 'living matter'? Let me clarify to everyone: I'm not saying that they did 'abiogenesis'; I'm just pointing out need for better choice of words.
