Meh, on second reading it looks like the scientists merely added two new chemicals to the usual millions of A, T, C, G pairs.

I wonder if the same bacteria, provided an environment with only the foreign nucleotides, would replicate by replacing the natural bases on their own.

What is...IS, Rex. Always has been, always will be. Since there is no such thing as Time. Or Space. There are no 'explanations', there are only descriptions.
Consciousness likely exist on an infinite and limitless scale too. We see the upward progression in the mere nano-second of our own observation. Imaging evolution...infinitely so.
The result would be limitless Consciousness. There is your God. You ought to thank *IT/Him/Whatever* you want to describe it as.
Reverence, is a wonderful feeling.

I'd like to read more about this argument. Links?
We'll save that for another day and another thread.

Obvious lack of science background is obvious

Did HUMANS just create life.... from SCRATCH????
No. HUMANS didn't create the nucleotides used in the experiment.
If you want to create, make your own atoms from sources outside of our universe.
This is just another version of tinker toys or lego blocks.

as usual, you read the article wrong.
How are you this stupid?

I thought that was only within the power of god(s). Or maybe I'm reading the article wrong? LINK

Reminds me of this,
One day a group of scientists got together and decided that man had come a long way and no longer needed God. So they picked one scientist to go and tell Him that they were done with Him.
The scientist walked up to God and said, "God, we've decided that we no longer need you. We're to the point that we can clone people and do many miraculous things, so why don't you just go on and get lost."
God listened very patiently and kindly to the man and after the scientist was done talking, God said, "Very well, how about this, let's say we have a man making contest." To which the scientist replied, "OK, great!"
But God added, "Now, we're going to do this just like I did back in the old days with Adam."
The scientist said, "Sure, no problem" and bent down and grabbed himself a handful of dirt.
God just looked at him and said, "No, no, no. You go get your own dirt!"
Some people just try to hard!!

The Rex envy is heavy in this one.
The article clearly states "with the creation of a living cell that has two 'foreign' DNA building blocks in its genome."
The article is entitled "Scientists Create First Living Organism With 'Artificial' DNA".
It is a poorly titled and poorly written article. It took good reading skills to actually discern what was happening there, and I saw it before anybody posted a correction.
Nice try.
