If Mammouth DNA is cloned, and a mammoth walks again

I quite like his tie.

Here in New Jersey, we have Chris Christie.

If that's your definition of God then you're not setting the bar very high. To me it seems more like the definition of smart, educated people.

The way of the Creationists is to mount a position that coups all others BEFORE the other side even makesany claims.

To claim that cloning a mammoth "proves" the existence of a GOD, sounds like a stroke of panic.

The recipe of introducing relict DNA into a fetus being carried by a host (a mamma), is still frought with error and possibilities for disaster (one of which is the loss of the fetus and host in an endangered or threatened species).
However, it will probably be done by some institution in some country dspite what we say or feel.
Im kind of ambivalent about doing it because , in one way, it shows the world the relationship between the genome , its content, and the phenotype of the cloned beast. It will be the closest to Jurassic Park as we may be able to get since the degredation of DNA/RNA and osteocalcin and other bio active chemicals, occurs fairly rapidly after 50K years.
I hear that some of the biochemists are actually looking at very old (EOCENE) fossils where something that looks like nucleotide crystals can be seen in a keratin matrix. Also, many genomes actually retain "fossil DNA" in a turned OFF condition and these SNP positions can be "resurrected " by learning the arrangements nd other DNA positions involved in turning the stuff "ON"

Jesus Frank, we have KIDS looking in on this stuff. I can see years of therapy after seeing that portrait of your good guvnah!.
I see hes starting to do his "Im really a conservative" display, after vetoing that hog proposal that, if he voted his states interest, would have pissed off the farming base of the GOP.

I assume that, if he succeeds in winning the primaries and gains the 16 pres nomination he will then become the "Rainbow Chameleon" nd open his world to all kinds of folks and stripes

I don't like his tie, but if we're going to one up over fat politicians I'll have to play the trump card. Eric Pickles.

It's a clumsy and desperate attempt to conflate technical skill with deific powers purely to push forward a specious view of both science and religion, thus muddying the waters sufficiently to try to sneak through some cockamamie argument.

We've seen a lot of this "muddy the waters" strategy from people lately. Some of them are even going so far as to "fall for their own bullshit", which is the height of desperation, and quite entertaining

Cyril Smith?

Isn't science marvellous!

Scientists make me hot.

Pretty much gonna have to be a Darlene or Daphne - so she can make more babies.

A female Mammoth?

Had females been invented back then?

We have to see where the DNA "donor" ws found. If it came from the Magadan / Kamchatka areas, shed need a suitble Russian name. like Bubbie, or Pani or Babushka .

That would be a different thread.

It depends on the scientist, but Tori Herridge is quite lovely.

Or Liz Bonnin.

Is she one of the Frederick's of Hollywood Angels?

She's a presenter on "Bang goes the theory"

Here's herself talking about Beryllium.


Sigh.

Beryllium--i thought it was going to be about one of those horse-faced, buck-toothed high society daughters of the Lord Haw-haw set.

Now you're talking!

Creating life from technical skill is still creating life........

Creating life from death, or anything else, is the definition of God. Get over it, you know this to be true, and have always mocked the idea, now that humans are doing this, suddenly creating life does not matter anymore.

All life matters, always.
