  Speaker 1: Welcome back to Challenges of Faith Radio program. I am
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Gary McCants and thank you for joining here on episode
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: three thousand, three hundred and eighty three. Before I begin
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: today's discussion, I want to introduce to you McCann's Investigations
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: and Security, a private investigator and security business. So while
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: you are listening to the program, also think about how
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I can provide some form of protection.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: For you, your.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Loved ones, your place of worship, your business, your organization
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: or your community.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: And now to today's topic.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: The question is are scientists still trying.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: To play the little Jiga? Why are they?
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Casey Luskin is a PhD scientist and associate director at
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Discovery Institute, and he laid out an argument about scientists
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: creating artificial life in their laps promise world changing benefits,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: but are they playing God and Frankenstein. A living monster
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: is a symbol from scavenge human body parts and leftover
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: animal remains. Throw together some chemical exactly what lightning and bioline.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: It's alive.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: In the real world, building life is infinitely more complicated,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: but harnessing life existing machinery might be key to solving
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: many of our miseries. Scientists recently buzzed over spud Cell,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: a synthetic cell bioengineer to mimic the functions of living
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: cells assembled in the lap from biomolecules such as proteins, lipids,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: and DNA. Spud cell promises many potential therapeutic benefits, but
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: are we like doctor Frankenstein playing god. Synthetic cells could
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: serve as a tiny delivery vessel to transport drugs directly
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: into sick tissue. They could be programmed to produce vital
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: medicines such as ensigin, antibiotics, and vaccines within a patient's body.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: So imagine artificial cells manufacturing anti cancer drugs and then
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: delivering them directly to a tumor, eliminating the need for
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: chemop their pay of other dangerous treatments. Their potential benefits
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: extends to the stars. Long term space explanation exploration poses
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: all sorts of medical risks. Artificial cells could heal astronauts
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: when doctors aren't around, and if a space couldet get sick,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: all they have to do is open a packet of
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: synthetic cells and add water. The necessary medications could be
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: manufactured on the mail. These little wonders could even be
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: deploy into the environment to consume toxic chemicals or clean
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: contaminated water. So what's wrong with that? I mean, what
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: could go wrong? A lot for every positive use of
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: synthetic cells, says the scientists.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Are you listening, it didn't say, said Geary.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Now when we try to put it on Geary, someone
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: out there would create an evil use infectious bio warfare
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: capabilities could be epileptic. Or consider another foreseeable nightmare scenario
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: where we produce synthetic cells. Are you listening, I know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: y'all that consumes oil to clean up spills. Everything is
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: going gangbusters until the cells find their way into the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: world's oil reserves and eat those up too. The entire
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: balance of nature could be overthrown. Well, what if synthetic
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: cells have better only in fitness than natural microorganisms, out
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: competing Earth's native bacteria. Some have sounded the alarm about
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the possibility of so called mirror life. You know, hypothetical
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: synthetic cells that function like normal bacteria, but the internal
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: enzymes will be flipped compared to all known bacteria, and
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: that means that are immune systems and the rest of
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: nature might not recognize these invaders and would have no
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: ability to combat down they could devour all existing life.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Now the question is could this be our punishment for
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: trying to create artificial life? And the question still remains
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: should these creations be considered truly alive? If recent reactions
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: to spuds or any indication, then the media is eager
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: to high the inventions as real life. And in response
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: to recent successes by Kate Adamla, a University of Soda
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: synthetic biologist, Senn claim that the scientists say they have
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: built a cell from scratch for the first time that
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: can feed, grow and replicate like a natural cell. But
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: spud seale isn't alive if we mean to describe something
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: that can survive in a natural environment, medicolized nutrients and
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: perpetually self replicate, and it was hardly made from scratch.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Even the New.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: York Times acknowledged that spud sells originators do not claim
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: to have created life. Still, one of the scientists involved
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: called it a januine millstone on the road towards the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: question of lab engineered life.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: So even this is misguided.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Life excels at multiplaning, But spud cell can only survive
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: for a hands full of replications before its machinery degrades
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: and ceases to function. And this is because spud cell
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: cannot produce ribisms, highly complex biom uh bio molecular machines
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: that all limiting cells make the manufacture proteins.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Spud cell must be fed a steady.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Diet of ribisms, all originally made by other real cells.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Spud cells also lack of functional metabolism metabism, and you
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: know I'm gonna have to slow down, especially if I'm
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: gonna use destroying names.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: As a result, they must be suspended.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Another area where spud cell fails to qualify as life
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: is its inability to fully pass on traits to future generations.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: As bioengineer Terror Dane stated, it doesn't reliably pass on
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: its genetic material. None of this negates spud cells impressive abilities,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: of course, but even if we're playing God, we cannot
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: become him. There's an old joke about scientists who boast
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: to God that they figured out how to make a man.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: We start with some dirt, they begin until God introjects,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: hold on, You've got to get your own dirt. This
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: is the essence of spud cell. Its creators borrowed all
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: the dirt in the form of functional information, rich genes,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: molecular machinery, and enzymes stolen monocular stolen from living cells
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: spud cells attestament not only to the cleverness of man,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: but also a powerful reminder that life originates only through
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: intelligent designs.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: The question is what say you well for my faith?
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Genesis one one says in the beginning God created the
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: heaven and earth and all that is within it. And finally,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: because our hope is built on God's promises and not
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: our financial futures, I believe that you and I can
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: be content and even joyful in the face of irrespective
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: of what the national dead is. But it has to
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: be in Christ, and that's where we are wealthy. The
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: saints have become rich through the poverty of Jesus, guaranteed
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: a glorious inheritance that can't slip away, especially when the
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: economy takes a turn. And finally, for you know the
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, though he was rich
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: for your sake, he became poor by his poverty, you
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: might become rich Second Constance, Chapter eight, verse nine. As
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: we close, I hope you found today's discussion educational and
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: informed of and remember always do your own independence study
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: research for you. Challenges Afraid radio program is sponsored by
