instead of this
"An example from synthetic biology that took a team of researchers 15 years: The engineering of an alien based pair (prototyped after the nucleotide structuring configuration of the famous double helix) into an bacterium E. coli. A substantial scientific achievement, but it’s just a single pair of foreign DNA bases out of millions. Lab accomplishments like this supports the creation model since it requires researchers using pre-planning creativity, rethinking, and redoing using preexisting functional material and working models. None of which is available by just physical means.

set the material down in the lab, and come back in 15 years and observe the self-assembly.
