However his primary concern for the past several years have been more business related than technical. He has people that do the science. He just worries about the money. As such it could be he is just trying not to step on too many toes. Which shouldn't be too hard as I believe he is more or less retired now and spends most of his time sailing around the world. Well, at least he's making fewer postdocs miserable- he has a HORRIBLE reputation, although I am impressed by his minimal genome work- it's something I have tinkered with in far easier viral systems, and it's a headache.
It's true that the tree of life one sees in textbooks is really outdated- the relationships between organisms are far more complex than the traditional idea of a tree supports. I don't see any compelling evidence that the differences in nucleotide structure of some bacteria necessarily point to anything other than common descent, but wouldn't it be thrilling to see evidence that multiple types of nucleotides arose independently! If Venter isn't willing to argue the case, I don't see anyone else taking it on, though.

What are the odds of god being created by random chance out of nothing?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

You are a tool, a moron, and an ignorant slug. You don't know what you're talking about. Run back to the playground, because the adults are talking, here.
Next thread, please. Hopefully not one started by someone who didn't pass 5th grade science class.
The impossibility being claimed here is spontaneous life from non-life WITHOUT the involvement of other life - including scientists and/or God.
Sure, you can claim something is scientifically plausible, but you have to ALSO then agree it's plausible that a Higher Being exists in some other space/time dimension.
Wanna talk about panspermia? The plausibility of the multiverse hypothesis?

Neither did the universe.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Care to try again, but using the correct grammar?
